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.

***Disclaimer***
If you want to enter with stuff in your backlog, that's fine, but please be aware I may not be able to pair you with someone who wants something you have to give away. If you cannot afford to purchase a new kit in case of that, please just hold off this year.

I don't think I posted this here. It's a wip.

How do you guys agitate paints that has been sitting for a while?
My tamiya gunmetal has seperated into 3 individual layers and the metal layer is especially stubborn to shaking.

>>5306644
You can toss a metal BB into the cups or bottles as an agitator. Or buy an airbrush paint mixer which is basically a mini hand held blender. It mixes paint very well.

So HG seems like the internet's general consensus for the best kitbashing grade, what's everyones' favorite kits or parts trees from ebay to play with? Why do you like it/them?

>>5306644
Put a stick in it and stir. Are you gunpla builders really this retarded?

>>5306668
I know it sounds really retarded, but I was thinking if there was a better way to do it, like >>5306648 suggested.

I have a glass stirrer like those you find in labs, but its a pain to wipe down every time I change paints.

>>5306675
Buy a box of flat toothpicks and use them as stirrers. It's as simple as that.

>>5306710
Don't use wood. It's porous and will absorb solvents.

I just got myself a MG Rick Dom for 12$ for a black friday day special at my hobby shop. This kit looks pretty old, anyone know when these were made? Thinking of keeping this one and not building it; and maybe buying another one to build. Probably retarded to do so, but I like to keep the "vintage" stuff and not build it. Is this kit kinda "rare" haven't been really able to find it at any hobby shops

>>5306753
>This kit looks pretty old, anyone know when these were made?
1999

>Is this kit kinda "rare" haven't been really able to find it at any hobby shops
They get re-issued now and again. Just not a lot of shops pick them up.

>>5306753
The year of release is on the box.

It gets reprinted.

Pretty nice for it's age.

>>5306756

Well, somebody I know suggested "why not just get a second hand airbrush", so I come to ask about an obvious concern:

Is it practical to buy a second hand airbrush? Would you end up having to buy replacement parts for it anyway? It seems like it'd be less of a hassle to just buy a brand new one.

Never gone that route, but when I was reading up before I bought mine, an article (can't remember sauce) pointed out that you sort of have to know what you're looking at to make an informed buying decision, and noobs can't really do that yet. At the very least, try to test drive the brush first.

>>5306814
for the amount of plastic you get it's a great deal since it's a 1/60 size thing.

It's not really a model, but a mostly pre-built 1/60 rick dom with wiring you need to thread through most of the kit.

if you want a 1/60 rick dom it's your only real choice besides the super old original 1/60 kit.

i dont have them but i would like to. saw some videos of a build of the i.m.s led mirage v3 few months ago, the parts were detailed inner frame and all but all parts must be cemented/glued in place so there is no way for you to place the armor parts and take it out. unless you mod it in some way ie pins and holes. also tons of pieces big and small really small.

ims in general is a bitch to make so I'm guess the resin kits will be ten times harder. Or plastic and resin kits are totally different and I'm talking out of my ass.
Here is a blog of someone making IMS Siren Neptune

http://pla-zone.proboards.com/thread/792/star-stories-siren-neptune-ims

>Upon opening the box I realized how much work this would be... Volks is supposed to be one of the bets when it comes to resin kits but I don't think they have a lot of experience with plastic. Either that or I've been really spoiled by Bandai. There are issues with this kit that will make this a very difficult build, as far as prep is concerned. In fact, building this kit will be mostly sanding, filling and flash removal.
>Here's another example of nastiness... The gates are attached to the piece in the worst possible place, in 4 places both sides of the piece. Exactly in the middle of the curved, chamfered edge. I'm beginning to think it was planned and moulded this way on purpose.

I'm not against FFS I love the story and the mech designs but I think people who are new to volk kits need to understand what they are getting into before spending 70-100 dollars on a kit.

>>5307068
That is delightful.

How can I fix this?

>>5307489
Is that from RG zeta or something?

You could try gluing it. If you want something stronger you could drill aligning holes in both broken faces and run a small metal pin through them.

>>5307501
Yeah that's what it's from. I just used some glue right after posting. If that doesn't work I'll run a pin

>>5307503
If it's the RG, beware that some parts of the frame uses PP plastic. Usual modeling cement for styrene does not work.

Started cleanup on the torso butchery for my haunted grimoire. Adding the damage and cleaning it up.

The head unit is going to be next.

Fumina is fuckhuge, I doubt anything smaller than regular 1/100 heads would fit

>>5308259
All those heads in the pic are actually just held on with sticky tack.

>>5308270
Oh, I can actually see it under the GM head

Either way, my point was also about how it would fit in terms of looks, anything smaller would look disproportionate, the GM head kinda does already.

>>5307068
I recently bought a HG Z'gok, but now I am tempted to get an RG Z'Gok, because it looks like it is a solid RG.

And also more articulation.

I just finished my first kit, the standard HG Graze after having collected a number of robot spirits figures it really is terrific, the articulation is great and the adjustable booster, and pop-up head are excellently implemented. the frame is nice too, which I guess is new for HGs? It did have some extra pieces in the PC sprue that I can't figure out the purpose of

I'm honestly considering getting the second graze kit the hobby store had, along with the mobile suit that Iron-blooded's not!char uses.

Inner frames have so far been almost exclusively an MG and RG thing, with IBO the gimmick is interchangeable pieces and an inner frame so its the first time we've seen then at this level on HGs and probably the only times it'll happen. However recent HG designs in general have been getting closer to inner frames so we might see them again if designs call for them, its at least standard to have some sort of pseudo inner frame nowadays.

> It did have some extra pieces in the PC sprue that I can't figure out the purpose of
>PC sprue
huehue welcome to the club, start your collection of spare polycaps. Its cheaper to include a whole universal PC sprue than to make a mold for each and every kit when most can take from said universal sprue. You'll see on the manual that the contents section will X out unused spare parts.

>>5308354
At the start of the instructions there is a diagram of the runners with parts not used X'd out for future reference

Gonna be painting the Bandai boba fett model. The suit will be dark dark grey and the armor jet black. So I need to paint the polycap joints. My idea is to:
-Lightly sand the visible joints with high grit paper
-Do a thin layer with black primer
-Do a thin layer of the almost black grey

Which is a better MG Rx-78: the 3.0 or the animation colors?

Yea, after building notguts' ms I'm tempted to buy 2-3 more of those graze kits. They're selling them for 9 bucks in Malaysia

Has anyone ever bought supplies from Aliexpress? I'm thinking to get some magnets, nippers and maybe a pin vice from it.

>>5308932

>>5308809
Yeah, just take off the stickers on the dark plastic, at least on the chest. Otherwise, it looks cool. Anyone have pics of the freedom in a more "traditional" Gundam Paint scheme?

So is the whole "paint + primer" thing with Krylon paints legit? Would Testors/Tamiya topcoat work with them?

>>5308945
It might look thick and chalky when you're done painting. It's an off the shelf can meant for bigger projects than a scale plamo, and it's a hybrid primer and paint. Buy one and try it on some spoons if you don't get any other answers.

>>5308949
Okay, I'll definitely try it out. Michaels is 10 minutes away with big cans of those for $7 each, and Hobbytown is 100ml cans for almost $8.

Found a nice local hobby store on friday and picked up the RX-79 [G] ground war set, 1/144 scale.

Was a bit pricy, but hey, after 13 years of being away from Gunpla it's nice to get back into the hobby.

Figured I'd share a pic. Still some work to do on it, but I'm happy with how it came out so far.

So I might be upgrading to an airbrush soon, which leaves me with the question of what to do with all my Vallejo acrylic paints. What's the ideal ratio of thinner to paint? I'd search for a guide now but it's like 3:30am so I'll ask now and look later.

>>5309007
For Vallejo I use something just under milky consistency. It can also depend on the color. Yellow didn't take much thinning, but grey did for me.

>>5309008
Good old "consistency of milk", then, thanks.

How much thinning does Vallejo Air need? Can't be much since it's pre-thinned but I'd imagine you'd need at least a drop or two.

>>5309010
Haven't tested mine yet since I only have red and white.

>>5309010
I've actually used Vallejo air on my airbrush without any thinning at all since I thought that was the point of them being pre thinned, and my kits turned out fine.

At first I thought that said Dragon Dong

Just finished my HG Delta Plus yesterday, turned out pretty nice. I haven't built a transformable MS before since I'm not really interested in the wave riders at all, but I was pleasantly surprised. Articulation is still at least okay. I didn't care for how fiddly the shield is and how the aerospikes on the back of the legs don't really stick securely in place in MS mode, they're just restricted by the parts around them. That just autism on my part, though.

Today has been primarily working on the HG Gundam Barbatos. Really neat so far, about halfway done and articulation seems really good. The thing's really damn detailed for how few parts it actually uses, and the inner frame is quite neat. I am having some small issues cutting the parts away from the sprue too closely, not sure if the plastic is a little tougher/slipperier or my cutters are just getting dull.

I'll post pics when both are finished.

Also Barbie Toes starts out with the sorta shield plate on its arm, then after it uses the schwalbe graze claw and the show hasn't technically shown it in its final form where it just has both arms match and the iconic shoulders.

Hello /toy/, don't know shit about airbrushes, but which would you reccomend between the two airbrushes I'm deciding on: iwata hp cs or the iwata hp c plus. Obviously going to be painting gunpla. Which would be better for overall use, and which one can take hobby paints better?

How long should I wait to apply another coat of Future on a loose joint. I put a thick-ass coat of Future 25 hours ago on this really loose hinge joint (moved side-to-side, flopped around under its own weight) and it still feels sort of tacky. Last time I tried applying around this stage, the Future dissolved and I was back where I started. The joint isn't as floppy as before, but it still droops.

Guys my girlfriend won't paint more then a single layer of paint on her gunpla because "She likes the color." I told her she needs to atleast do three or so layers, but she won't listen to me.

She is worried she is going to lose the light pink color or something even though it's far from done. only the pink parts are painted.

Worst part is that he got into gunpla too and has the mindset that he's really good at it and refuses advice despite having a million nubs and stress marks all over the place. That and he absolutely refuses to paint them since that would be a "waste of time." Otherwise he's a nice guy except for models for some reason.

Lead suits questions. Of the three SD series, what are the best kits to represent their lead suits?

Something semi-important, can it do one handed hand stands like the smaller grades?

glass shelves or cases are always a good choice, but smaller kits will always need risers for big displays.

its about that old and doesnt even work as a second monitor for my current laptop, i just havnt gotten around to finding it a new home.

>>5310915
I thought the lead of Sangokuden was Ryuubi. And I'm asking what kits best represent them.

>>5310150
There just isn't enough Milf kits.

>>5310919
What do you mean by "series"? The three SD Gundam spinoffs that originated in the late 80s are Sengokuden, Knight Gundam and G-force.

If you mean "model kit series", sangokuden is part of the BB Senshi line.

>>5310927
Mobile Suit SD Gundam, Superior Defender Gundam Force, and SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors. Probably should have said animated series. My bad desu.

I'm asking what the lead suits of those are and what kits represent them the best. I can't find much information on anything related to Captain Gundam, Ryubi has about five trillion different iterations, and I'm still not sure what the lead suit is in the 80s series.

>>5310852
I got some of those big Ikea wood cabinets meant for DVDs and the like, glass doors, mirror insets that come with glass shelves, and the push-to-toggle lights you find in the last section before the warehouse. You can get wood doors and skip the insets for the bottom row if you get a three-high, then use the bottom drawers for storing spare parts and painting supplies, while the one-high is just the right height to stick a TV and consoles on.

>>5310938
The 80s animated SD Gundam was a bunch of gag shorts

In the late 80s, they made 3 spin-offs,
>Sengokuden = Japanese warring states
>Knight Gundam (Medieval theme)
>G-force (Futuristic theme)
These spin-offs had manga, anime, toys and model kits based on them. They were widely popular for a while but died down by the late 90s.

Superior Defender Gundam Force was an attempt to revitalize the SD Gundam spinoffs and heavily referenced the 3 themes above. Captain Gundam is extracted directly from G-force.

Eventually they hit gold in the late 2000s with Sangokuden which was immensely popular for a period just like the 3 old themes.

To answer your question, just go for the BB Legend line. It's "legend" for a reason.

So this isn't quite gunpla, but it's close: what do people think of the Assault Kingdom line? They seem like they'd be pretty great for office desk figures.

Should I buy the RG Astray or the RG OO Raiser, pls I need help ;_;

I was planning on doing something similar. I already have a bookcase next to my detolf with some kits and other non-gunpla stuff, as well as some storage stuff.

I do have this short black TV stand with some drawers and empty shelves, but I'm looking to get rid of the TV. Maybe I can put small twin cabinets with glass doors on top of it or something.

>>5310916

After seeing beamknight's sweet hyaku shiki/akatsuki pics I've decided to make that my next 1/100 purchase. I'm kind of stuck though, despite the regular shiki color being terrible i really like the proportions over the 2.0 (which is a bit skinny at the waist, no?), so what do you fags think? reg shiki or 2.0? only 10 dollar difference. I would throw akatsuki into this query too but the only 1/100 I've found is $115.

>Couldn't be bothered to wait 5 minutes
2.0 Shiki has great articulation over the original, kind of similar to the scale of the 2.0 zaku compared to the 1.0. It's literally a trade off of articulation vs aesthetics; if you're not going to be posing it constantly and don't give a damn about gimmicks (posable fingers/detailing) then just buy the original.

Reposting from /m/. Fellow Gogg owners, please help. How high on the shoulder armor should the rod be placed? The little "stump" within the shoulder armor that allows you to attach the hand alone in the last picture makes putting the whole arm on a pain. If I slide the rod all the way up the shoulder armor then it feels like I am forcing the piece, and after some playing around with it the arm tends to pop apart. Yet when I don't slide the arm all the way up, it makes the arm feel loose. I know there should be one position that is correct to get a full range of motion but still stay on correctly. Suggestions or tips from others with the model?

Where did you even get that idea from? It's some sort of sensor, not a weapon.

>>5312158
It was more about the fact that it seemed he hadn't watched or understood the source material for the model he was reviewing. It looks like he was grasping for random things to talk about on the kit.

>>5312157
i...what?

That was a main camera/sensor. The ms in ibo are inspired by knight armor. The graze has the portion that flips up like a knights visor to protect the main camera during heavy combat.

>>5312170
Granddaddy gundam just because it's the classic.

Besides that maybe the strike or rouge.

>>5312170
Unicorn, just because the light's look magnificent when they're wired up

>>5312180

the graze looks closer to the frame arms designs than any knight gundam.

people who fully paint, how do you deal with burnout? You know the feeling, when a single kit has dragged on way too long and either theres a bunch of stuff to fix or you simply loose enthusiasm to finish it up (and really have to fight the urge to start something else). What do you do?

>>5312332
I honestly haven't had this problem yet, I always eventually get the kit done even if it takes me several months from construction to topcoat. It might be that I'm forced to wait in between painting sessions due to humidity so I'm basically looking forward to progressing while waiting. I guess my advice would be to just space out your schedule and work on just one kit at a time so you don't lose interest in other projects.

In his defense that's what I thought it was when I first saw it, and when it didn't fire anything I realized that it was just a sensor

I just realized we don't have vulcans either, although something like that will probably fuck up mobile workers

I wanna do an iron patriot with the jesta cannon is that a waste of pbandai

>>5312417
That is exactly what should be done.

Remember to add more guns.

Local gunpla shops might have it in stock, also don't hold your breath finding it at any other Mandy store except the one it was listed at in the website. I'm certain that they list all their inventory online from all their stores.

Guise, do you have experience using Tamiya enamel paints to do panel line washes? Can I thin it with lighter fluid too (for panel lining)? Model Master's are rare where I live.

Did the secret santa form reset or something? I can't go back to the page I originally filled out and it keeps wanting me to make a new one.

You can just email me if you need to make changes.

does it works with 3M sand sponge?

Go ahead and start something else.

Working on multiple kits in parallel is how you don't get burned out.

Anyone gotten their 1/100 Barbatos yet? Opinions if so? I kind like the idea of a larger Barbatos to play around with, but I'm sticking to a fixed budget for plamo right now and am wondering if that money would be better spent on other kits.

Also, I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the difference in proportions...the shorter torso and longer legs compared to the HG.

>>5312647
>fixed budget

get the HG unless Barbatos is your favorite MS
1/100 doesn't come with the Mace which is understandable but disappointing

>>5312653
Nah, I mean I already have the HG. I just kinda got tempted by the idea of a MG-size Barbatos to play around with, since I enjoyed the smaller one so much. And yeah, I was bummed by the lack of mace, but I've made my peace with it I think.

>>5312675
Isn't it like only 2500 yen? That's still pretty cheap either way you cut it.

>>5312675
just get it. you sound like you'll regret simply not having it in your life

>>5312675
>didn't get it for $12 from the TOM promotion

>>5312707
What promotion now? I would sprung for it for $12.

>>5312708
Don't bother, someone was shilling their referral code for a shitty overpriced site that, even with the added $15 credit you get, still somehow manages to get beat out by other stores when shipping comes into account. There's supposed to be some trick to getting cheaper shipping but whoever found it refused to share with everyone else.

/toy/, is it possible to do panel washes on an unpainted kit? Or do I need a layer of "clear" basecoat?
And If I could panel washes without base paint, should I do acrylic washes or enamel washes?
I'm not being a cheapskate, but I'm fairly new to gunpla and I want to invest slowly while not biting more than I can chew.

>>5309420
Only thing that looks odd to me is how tall the V-fins are.

>>5312711
use a clear coat before panel washing. thinner/lighter fluid could fatally damage the bare plastic
use enamel wash but acrylic wash has been done before
don't use the same paint type for the clear coat and panel washing
kindly read the guide

>>5312491
IS THIS FOR REAL HOLY FUCK

>>5312720
Thanks anon. I read the guide; I think I understand the gist about panel washes but I believe the viability of unpainted washes wasn't mentioned. So I thought about asking you guys. Cheers :)

>>5312720
>>5312727
p/s Is there any different between using flat or gloss basecoat prior to washes?

>>5312728
Flat makes it harder for the wash to run through the panel, gloss makes it easier

So, it's come to my attention that MG Tallgeese 1's visor isn't that nice blue like in the promo shots, but just clear instead. Can anyone suggest a good clear paint to get that shade of blue? Would Tamiya's clear blue (spraycan) be a good choice, or is it too dark?

I trust you haha, you seem to know what you're doing around here. You mean this one I assume? The "neon" one?

Also, will I have to worry about this rubbing off? Is it sealable, and if so, what would you guys recommend? I've actually never topcoated any clear parts before so I'm not sure the best one to use (I don't have an airbrush btw, I'm a rattlecan guy).

RE:1/100 Never ;_;

What's the suit YOU'RE holding a candle for, /toy/?

>>5312839

Sharpies are full of transparent ink; it'll work like a charm. If you can't get away with just coating the INSIDE of the visor, and you've gotta cover the whole thing, just hit it with a coat of clear overtop to prevent the ink from rubbing off.

>>5312859
Ugly

>>5312868
Cool, thanks, now I just need a suggestion of a quality gloss topcoat. I've really only ever done matte coats.
