For those of you just joining us, please read this 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.

Grunt Bash Group Build
It's time for a new group build, and damn simple one. All you need to do is combine a grunt design with a one off design, including named Gundams, Sazabi, Kampfer, and the like.

Due By: November 10th
As always, send it to (and post it here!): [email protected]

Gunpla/Plamo Secret Santa!

Sign ups run until December 4th. I'll try to have everyone paired up by December 6th.

Like last year, I'm going to have everyone fill out a Google form so I can collect the information easily.

Also, if you have some kits in your backlog that you are willing to part with feel free to email me a list and estimated values.

Is it taboo here to crosspost between here and the /m/ thread? I'm super new to gunpla in general, and I don't want to stir up any shit.

I just got a proper xacto knife to replace the razor blade I had been using, and stole some of my gf's emery boards... getting a bit better about de-nubbing, but now the seams are bothering me. Is seam welding something a non-painter can do without too much sanding touch up? I don't have room/access to paint materials for a proper job right now.

Some are high

It's been ages since I've fully hand painted a kit, but if I were to do so now, I'd grab a flat red sable appropriate to the scale (say 3/8"?) for the bulk of the work and a couple of smaller red sables (maybe a 1, 0, 5/0) for the details.

This is a stupid question and it's asked a million times per thread. How the fuck are we supposed to know what is "good" for you? Also, Google reviews.

>what's the height of a certain model kit
There is a site called dalong.net which is in the guide and which gives you height comparisons. There is only so many times people can repost pictures from it here for you.

tl;dr if you ask retarded shit nobody will talk to you and it's a good thing that you find this thread disagreeable. Your kind is not welcome here.

>>5264356

I thought these threads were places of discussion? what's this recent trend of people saying to just use Google?
>>
>>5264371
I'll bite on the google bit

What's the point of discussing shit that's readily available a google search away, not to mention its far less unreliable to expect everyone to have and extensively review a kit you wonder about, it should be common fucking sense that the first thing you do is search for reviews and look at a few. If there is a burning question that non of them answer THEN come to the thread and ask

"Fucking google" isn't a recent thing, its common sense and used to not plague discussion with shit that one could just fucking google

I mean, you have access to all these resources that are better, why throw a hissy fit when a 4chan thread won't spoonfeed you
>>
>>5264371
>what's this recent trend of people saying to just use Google
Because Google has literally *all* the information and this thread is a small sliver of it?

Have you considered the fact that people here simply have no opinion about the kits you're asking about because they never owned them?
I don't think you realize how few people are actually here regularly.

Since /m/ is a shithole right now, I am now asking you guys:

Where should I get started to mod 1/144 HG Red Astray's flight back to the Metal Build version? I was thinking of kitbashing Over Flag intakes with the chest pieces of the Astray to roughly approximate the MB version.

Not sure how I can mod wings. I can't think of any IRL aircraft wing that I can greeble up to get those pointy wings with wedges all over.
>>
>>5264422
Hmmm. Yeah, Maybe I will. Who knows, maybe I can use it in the next GB.
>>
>>5264424

Metal build or RG?

Metal Build is MG size, buddy. The hg backpack will be tiny.
>>
>>5264434
Approximate the look of the Metal Build flight pack into a 1/144 version that I can slap onto the RG Astray.
>>
If Adam Savage can scratchbuild a fully detailed, fully greebled Y-Wing in two days, why can't I by kitbashing the flight pack?
>>
I plan to keep this kit simple, just do some panel lining & top coat it. But I've never used top coat before- Should I do the lining before or after it's application? I'd be using acrylic paint for the lines.

How do you mask and finish up parts if the joints have to go in before you build up the arms?

Pic related, example. How do you make a clean assembly and disassembly of body parts if the joints are locked in like this? Do I file down the pegs that lock into the joint, or do I mask the joint and then assemble the arm, a little like what military modellers do with the visible internal sections of vehicles?

I love it. Anyways, it's common to just nip the pegs so that painted parts can assemble again easily, but because I have no idea which pegs you're referring and what they look like to I'd try another option like the masking that you suggested. Good luck and post pics when you're done.
>>
>>5264679
Paint the joints first, mask them and then do whatever you need to do with the parts that fit around. Alternatively it could be easier to mod the pieces but it really depends on the kit and how the parts link up

>nipping the pegs

Take this RX-78 joint on a 1/144. The joint attaches to the forearms on two pegs, each side.

If I want to separate the parts for painting, I'm supposed to nip the pegs just enough to remove it in and out, and then later glue in the pegs with two-part epoxy?

mask it, I personally don't like the idea of intentionally cutting something off then gluing it on again later

I own many of the early HGUC.
Relativity speaking, out of the first 10 hguc, Gyan is probably the worst following Gouf.
And even with Gouf, its only seriously flaw is the bad skirt.
Gyan has that and more.

Of all the revive released and announced, the only one I believe that is worth the second take effort is Gyan. Anything else is just Bandai way's jewing people and delaying going into late and unprofitable large ZZ suits and relatively unpopular F91/V series lines.

>Grainger
the fuck is that

if you want a computer fan specifically, there are ones that move about the same amount of air at like 13 dB

if you want a HVAC fan (that will last a hella lot longer) you can get ones that pull twice as much air at about the same dB

also consider what you are hooking it up to

I picked up the RE Nightingale, and I'm prepping for assembly, but I'm noticing that it has stickers rather than waterslides. I've generally avoided using stickers as much as possible, but I'd really like to use them here.

Is there any way you guys know of that you can use these regular stickers, but blend in the border of the stickers on the model? Every time I've used them before they've always had that noticable transparen border and it always bugs me.
>>
>>5265294
No
>>
>>5265294
No. If it's some symbol you might be able to trim off the excess really carefully.

If it's all words like those warning decal tough luck, better buy waterslides.

>>5265212
No worries. You can always cut it off and coat the fin again.
>>
>>5265295
>>5265297
Balls, I'd rather pay more for them to just include waterslides with kits. These stickers are worthless.

I love the Mk.II. So I figure my ultimate expression of love for it would be to get the PG. But I know it's an ancient kit by now (2001, IIRC). Has the engineering/articulation suffered for being so old? Is it a good and recommendable kit in general? I'm still just a student so dropping this much on a kit is a big deal for me, y'know? I wanna know if I'll be happy as hell or disappointed as shit.

Cause RG is a piece of shit in term of play?
I just finished the Mark 2 RG. While it is a huge improvement over the first RG, but overall it is still much weaker structurally compares to the old HGUC.
For its age, the old HGUC Mark 2 is excellent in term of overall style and proportion.
And
I for one still can't understand whole "tiny torso, long ass bottom half" general style for the RG line.

So, I see people all the time posting pictures of decently built models they claim they built in an afternoon, painted even.

How are they doing that?

i can spend hours on end just doing proper nub removal for a kit.

No one says they fully painted the whole kit in an afternoon. Usually they FINISHED the kit in an afternoon.

>i can spend hours on end just doing proper nub removal for a kit.

>>5265726
No, I'm looking at one right now someone claimed they made and painted in an afternoon.

It's far from the first person I've seen claim shit like this.
>>
>>5265730
What equipment do you use for nub removal and how long does it take you to do complete nub removal for a kit?
>>
>>5265723
It usually takes me a day to build a kit depending on if it's HG/RG/MG (MG's take me about 2 if I don't do anything else) and if it's a full painted build then it takes me another day to get everything primed and painted if nothing bad happens. This is assuming I have absolutely no prior commitments and I just lock myself in my house and don't get distracted by fapping.
Don't masturbate when painting, it's not fun

Then that person has been working since dawn or they're lying. The paint would take far too long to cure properly in a single day.

Well I would like to loosely base it on the original mobile suit gundam from the 80's. It's the only one I've seen but I'm a big fan. However I am going to make some minor mods (pin sockets as mini thrusters, heatshrink tubing over parts of cable etc) and heavily weather most likely as that is my favourite part of wargame modelling.

Yeah, to each their own, of course.

White Dingo is pretty awesome too.

I feel that the Powered GM would be a little outdated by UC 0096.

White Dingo on the other hand is around UC 0079.

The Powered GM doesn't appear until around UC 0083, so lore wise, having a Powered GM around UC 0079 would be extremely powerful...

Both color schemes are great...but I think the White Dingo will contrast better with the other two colors.

Would the White Dingos somehow not survive up until 0083? I mean it'd be rather weird for an squadron of soldiers to be gone within 4 years. I mean if they all died off I could see it, but I could also see an homage team. Like the Feddie Black Tri Stars.

That said, those colors would be cool as fuck on the GM Cardigan.

>>5264541
Will you be selling little skullfaces?

>>5264679
Depends.
If you're welding the seams, you'll need to mask over the joints post-assembly.
If you don't care about the seams you'll have to cut the pegs halfway and at an angle, then glue the parts together after painting.

>>5265008
How did you get the visor cracked like that?
>>
>>5266752
They probably just disbanded after OYW ended since their custom mobile suits were too difficult to maintain or were otherwise outdated at that point.
>>
>>5266752
They probably got broken up, an impression I've gotten from the series is that after the OYW is that with the system in chaos they wanted to break up any possible power groups to prevent take overs and the like.

You have to consider that if you get enough soldiers together with a new feared tech and then they get pushed the wrong way they could rebel and you'll have a coup on your hands.

So you break em up and break up the bonds formed during the OYW so it's much harder. Probably one of the reasons Amuro was contained aside from being a newtype.

I'm still pretty new to doing any custom work on gunpla, but how would a Lightning Gundam with a Zeta head on it, minus the backpack (maybe wings or an anti-beam cloak like Crossbone Gundam) sound?
>>
>>5266800
A beefed up Zeta is what it would sound like. I'd give it a combination Zeta Lightning backpack.
>>
>>5266810

Its mostly I really like the Zeta's head, but i'm not huge on other parts of the design, mostly the wave rider greeblies and legs. Has a nice solid torso though.

Lightning is based on the Re-GZ, which is at least in the same timeline as the Titans. You could come up with some fanfic-tier lore for how the Titans somehow got ahold of a Zeta-type suit and developed it into the Lightning or something. A-Laws isn't even UC.

They're really good. The only Issue I have personally is that the shoulder balljoint seems to be too damn tight and moving it too wildly seems to be causing stress marks along the seam. I only built one of three and only the original one at that. Later models could've addressed that issue.

So 2chan is discussing super fumina and dumping a ton of pictures and ideas for improvement. Apparently snapped oob its horrifying and a mess of stickers, while with a little paint work its ~okay.

Because its made to work with the cardigan backpack it's swappable with a ton of other backpacks too.

We've known it was going to be tall for a while now. Its so it can reuse cardigan parts (specifically the runners that make up the powered arms hgbc set) while being proportional to the lineart.

For anyone wondering, the weight thing is a joke from the show. Minato (its creator) is listing the kit and Fumina's qualities and Fumina stops him before he can describe the weights.

It was probably done to make the gunpla more compatible. The kit would be part of the hg line and the sd parts wouldn't be the right proportions or connections to use on it compared to cardigan.

Plus the winning and star winnings transformation and main gimmicks wouldn't really work on it.

>>5267226
Yeah they really did not want to make a complete new kit huh. I thought it was all new anyways.

It would be fine as a first kit but you are likely to screw up and with the cost of MGs it makes more sense to cut your teeth on some cheap HGs to develop your skills.

Wait, what's going on here? What are these white parts from?

It's the Graze custom. Crank's machine that was taken by Tekkadan after they killed him. The white parts are probably recycled from a mobile worker.
>>
>>5267285
Mars.
Also I hate the kai for the fact that only the top half of the head moves to reveal the inner eye, which looks really fucking dumb compared to the original graze where the bottom half lowered instead.
>>
>>5267285
Graze Kai just came out. Its the old guy's graze which the Orphan's salvaged and repaired with the intent to sell it but ended up having to use it themselves.
>>
>>5267292
Im not sure its supposed to open at all in the show itself.

Looks like graze custom/kai is getting upgraded. New silliuettes for upcoming kits show something that is a graze with a very similar head shape.
>>
>>5267139
2.0 Zaku are fucking rad, nothing but big chunky parts with tons of detail. The only tricky bit is the piping, but take your time and shave your nubs and you'll be fine.

Neither. It's a Missile & Radome MSG.

See that thing at the bottom? It's a Frame Architect arm attachment, so you can attach any FA arm to it, not just Gorai's. The whole box replaces the shoulder assembly basically.

Get the Super Fumina then. You really can't straight plug gunpla limb on Shinki or FAGS - they're too beefy and long for 15cm girls, but they should work just fine with the larger Fumina.

In my experience, Partio's the only Shinki that can take Gunpla limbs OOTB, and that's only because her head is so comically oversized.

Man I'm not happy with keeping the clear plastic of gundam eyes. They don't pop well enough by themselves, and in some cases, the chunk of clear plastic is so thick you can't make a back layer to make the eyes shine.
