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've never bought any aftermarket parts before, but do you think it's worth getting some to replace the 1/100 Graze's rather disappointing looking hands?

How do you guys deal with this kind of sanding stretch mark?
Been using wet/dry sanding, always ended up with this kind of stretch mark.

>using 3M sand sponge, finishing with tamiya finishing abrasive.

>>5314415
i mean scratch mark, fucking autocorrect

>>5314415
Give it a scratch with your fingernails, sometimes that helps.

>>5314428

already done that, didn't work.

is something wrong with my sanding technique?

But those are aftermarket parts

>>5314443
Did you use a top coat? It looks grainy.

>>5314438
No, its called being a snapfag.
There isn't much you can do, just avoid putting stress on the nub where you snip them off the runner.

I used to sand down the nub, slice thinly and carefully using a very sharp hobby knife, and sanding it with 1500 after. Came out alright.

>>5314472
Maybe it's the brand. But if it's something like MSC or TS-80 it should be the weather.

>>5314470
can you post example of your sanding result in macro?

>>5314475
i'm using mr hobby flat
but in hand it looks fine, no idea what's wrong

>>5314480
I've had issues like that before as well. I pick up a model kit and move it around and try it catch it in various kinds of light and I can't see anything, but when I take a picture it's got really obvious visible frosting on it.

>>5314483

i need a nearly perfect sanding, pic related

>>5314566
There's bound to be discoloration of some sort somewhere, any further and I'll have oversanded the piece.
Just live with it and hit it with matt topcoat, you're not going to get 100% perfect nub removal every time.

I'm about to order a couple of kits from BanzaiHobby through SAL.
Anyone dealt with them before?

>>5314573
got it anon, thanks!
guess you're one of those Indonesian, right?

>>5314580
Not really, no.
Also the sharp hobby knife is crucial. Emphasis on sharp.
At least that's how I did it, I kept sanding other bits by accident before I said fuck it and bought a knife.(I still oversand all the time, fuck me)

Some questions guys:

1. How do you use aftermarket (aluminum) thrusters? Do they just snap in like a normal thruster? What sort of connections do they use?

2. Do you think there are any plans to bring out a chromed version of Hyaku Shiki 2.0? I can't really get down with that flat metallic look.

>>5314585
1. Glue

2. Probably not.

Just finished my MG God, fully airbrushed, lined with some washing to give it a gritty rough look to reflect the nature of the suit/anime
The rings are a bit rough, planning to redo them and there's some rubbing on the joints that I messed up, I've heard some olive oil and gently rubbing will help get rid of them, anybody confirm? But overall pretty hype about how it
turned out.
First time hand painting so if the hands seem rough pls no bully

>>5315023
Also please excuse cell phone pics, didn't have time to set up a booth and my good camera.

>>5315023
It looks pretty good as a whole, but the hand painting sort of puzzles me. I mean, it's a personal choice, and it's your choice to make, but it just seems like a waste of the clear plastic. If anything, I would have airbrushed on some solid red around the edges and left the "core" of the hands clear orange, I think that would have been a cool effect. I'm just not a big fan of that painted gradient look for things that could have been clear instead.

>>5315023
hands look fine dude. I think a little more lining could make it really pop more specifically the head and the foot guard but it looks really solid!

493KB, 675x1200px

>>5315038
I think it might have just been the light I had on it, here's a pic with less light and the lining is more obvious.
I left out some of the lining purposely though

>>5315036
It's just my taste. I don't like clear plastic pieces, they look cheap imo. Just different design taste

>>5315023
You forgot to paint the vulcans.

>>5315054
I'm not great at hand painting so I didn't want to risk messing something up.

>>5315061
masking is your friend

>>5315046
still a little too light IMO, but if you're happy with it that's cool too.

>>5315065
Ofcourse it is, masking is my bff. Vulcans are just very small, even for masking. Still easy to mess them up. Also a detail I'm not hurting too much about missing. It's an easy thing to go back to and add

>>5315023
I feel like there could be more black on the legs, like lining wise, and a thicker black line on the shoulder pieces.

>>5315071
Yeah, I'm on the fence about it. I like the lighter lining but I know traditionally it has thicker lines.
Again it's something that's easy to add later if I change my mind

Got my graze and stuff in. Also there was this green slip with a qr code and a url link. Is that for the web campaign?

This is the Gogg builder from a few threads back. This seem fine with all of you? Planning to place a fin-like piece on the head, like how sharks have. It could be a commander antenna and also work for intimidation/looks. I tried for fitting sea colors. And harpoons will go on the backpack, with an emblem on the chest. Nothing too convoluted.

And here it is with the backpack which I quickly snapped together.

I'll be painting it soon™

So my hyakuren came with an extra c26 piece. Is this a gift from plamor or is every hyakuren come with that extra piece? Checked all the runners and manual and theres no mention of an extra piece

>>5315334
You mean, inside the box, separate from the runners there was an additional C26?

>>5315306
crossbones x1 full cloth?

>>5315347
Oh, Crossbone X1 is the other one I was trying to remember! I think the only Full Cloth HG is the GBFT version and my autism would never allow that.

>>5315345
Mhm, it was separate from the runners in the bag

>>5315306
Theres also fa-78, and i guess riddens zaku 2 can count towards that

>>5315306
I mean there's a lot of those, and a lot like G04 and G05 don't have HGs

But off the top of my head and shelf, Crossbone Gundam for Crossbone, Fullarmor Gundam Thunderbolt for Thunderbolt, GM Striker for Feddie Hooligans (you'd have to paint it though), Ground Gundam for Lost War Chronicles, Gundam Delta Kai for that Across the Sky nobody will ever read, ummm, I guess you could pretend Johnny Ridden's Zaku's colors at least represent MSV-R, oh I think Command Gundam, Zero Gundam, Musha Godmaru, Musha Victory Gundam and Knight Unicorn Gundam are all manga leads too

There are a ton more but I can't think of them or don't have any options for kits from them

>>5315356
And obviously for the SDs I mean for you to get the Legend BB kits, they're HG quality

>>5315354
>>5315356
The Full Armor Thunderbolt is a lead anime suit now, silly billies.

>>5315122
The other thread is being spam shitposted so I'll bring it here.

You need a few panels of another color or lighter blue-grey to break up all that darker blue-grey.
The thighs could be a different color, possibly the same grey as the arms
Some red detailing would work pretty well, possibly with shark "cone art" on the head or chest by the mega particle guns.

I think the details is going to be the thing to work on to make that kind of color scheme work well. Squad iconography etc, etc.

Oh right that's a thing they're doing

I forgot

>>5315334
>>5315354
My guess is it came off of another runner while in production and ended up in your package, which means some poor chap out there is missing that piece.

I have a HG Fenice which had a piece popped off, luckily it was after the runner was packaged and in bags so I have the piece, but if it happened then it could definitely happen at the factory

>>5315364
Makes sense. Kinda funny i had a similar experience, when i was a kid i was really into bionicles and my grandma got me one, but the thing came with 3 legs and no mask

How long do "main gundams" stay in stock at stores?
This month's order is going to be too big for me to include the 1/100 Barbatos kit I wanted to.

>>5315306

Hi-Nu for Beltorchika's Children

Can't believe I didn't think of that one sooner

>>5315375
Isn't that because it's UC and UC is always in demand?
Sorry, I have no idea of any of this.

>>5315370
My best guess I can give you is probably but do order it ASAP. It may get a reprint sooner rather than later I suspect if it runs out that quickly. Anyway you'd be able to get it one way or the other but at a premium if not.

Didn't notice the repost until now. Thank you for the advice. So, which panels would you say would benefit from a different color? I tried showing where I would place a shark emblem if I were just doing a small waterslide.

If it's war paint it would be hard to show on the lineart, but I understand that those tend to be spread out over a plane nose, so I would do the same across the chest with a shark mouth or whatever. This isn't the final thing, I don't know the color break up you were talking about, feel free to edit it and repost or just tell me since I have the Photoshop file still saved.

Quick question about candy-coating, what happens if you use a different color for the base enamel coat? Let's say I use a gunmetal gloss instead of the standard black, would it affect the metallic shade after the alclad coat at all?

>>5315721

He said UNDER the right arm, not OVER it. It doesn't come with those two kits. It's only found on the P-Bandai Pale rider Heavy Equipment version. It looks similar to the cannon in that pic, but its a bit more detailed, has a hardpoint on the side, and is built to disassemble and store the barrel on the side to make it more compact in storage.

>>5315729
>>5315721

>>5314387
Oooh, they're going balls deep with 1/100 for this line, huh? Must have a lot of faith in it, or something.

I wonder what other suits we'll get. the abstract designs of the series so far make me wonder what other potentially badass stuff we'll see. I already love the look of the Graze and Barbatos. Not sure if I'll spring for the 1/100 but I might need a closer look to sell me.

>>5315729
Yes, if you are using alclad chrome paints then the base coat will affect the finish

>>5315792
So I'm assuming that lighter colors would just brighten the metallic effect?

>>5315790
Blue Graze, Kimaris, and Gusion are already confirmed and have prototypes.

the bratty saviour is finally here!

>>5315795
no, not necessarily, it's about the reflectivity of the coat. If I recall correctly, gloss black reflects more of the colour spectrum, which makes the top coat more vivid.

>>5315945
>gloss black reflects more of the colour spectrum
>black
>reflects more
>more
i don't think you know how that optics thing works

black ABSORBS more which results in reflection work being done mostly by the metal particles and not the paint below, which in turn fools human eye into believing it is looking at real metal

Seven Sword? I'm picking up the HG on Saturday from my local store, just made sure they have the stock. Hopefully doesnt take too much fiddling for it to work with the RG

Why are there so many leftover pieces after building Prototype Gouf? Feels like I did something wrong. I know it's common to have leftover pieces after a build, but isn't this usually due to sprue reuse or retooling? And unless I'm mistaken, isn't ProtoGouf a new mold?

>>5316138
It uses some joints and such from the Origin Zakus.

Getting another PG soon, which one would I have a funner time building, the 00 Raiser or the Unicorn? I feel like if I got the Unicorn I'd get the LED kit as well, but I hear that the PG 00 has a massive number of pieces.

It'll cost less than your gunpla. That can be assured. If you've ordered things from japan before, it'll be a similar pricing structure.
The main problem of shipping gunpla is box size. A box that's big enough to fit lots of gunpla and other stuff is hard to get. If you can sort it out all by yourself and find a box, then the process is smoother and you don't have to pay the overpriced post office box fees.

Have fun on your research trip, though. I'll be spending a week living it up in all the places I didn't get to visit on my research trip last year.

This is why I'll happily always remain a mediocre builder. I know exactly how much frustration is involved in getting a build to that stage of perfection, and it's just not fun to me anymore at that point. If I can get a kit de-nubbed, smoothed, painted, panel lined, decaled, and topcoated, I consider that a victory already. Any little fuckups along the way, TOO BAD, I'm moving on. Life is too short for me to obsess like that.

>>5316304
DEFINITELY buy some Assault Kingdoms. Then open them up, play with them, realize you need them all, and go back the next day to buy more, more. more. Imagine...a few hundred yen for a 3" tall Gundam with a stand, accessories, spare hands, and nearly the poseability of a Robot Damashii. Hell, sometimes they even exceed the poseability of RDs thanks to intelligent joint design and soft plastic for things like skirts. It's one of the best candy toy lines in years.

I'll probably remain a mediocre builder, although I still have to find a way to become an expert a denubbing, as sometimes I just dot the nub in the same colour as the rest of the plastic, it actually works pretty well as camoflagued, you couldn't see the nubs unless you inspected it really closely. Although I have a habit of gouging some nubs sometimes, I really need to be more careful.

One day though I would like to create just one original kitbash to call my own.


And hell, I pretty much got into Gunpla because Robot Damashii are 2expensive, assault kingdoms look like the kind of toy you carry around and fiddle with when bored.

Unless you count the color GX line which has a red gold which looks really similar to the gold but is much thicker in the bottle.

Impressive Jegan army! I considered doing the same because I was finding them at shops all over town and they're pretty cheap, but I stopped myself at three.

But yeah, AK is a super nice little line. I'd totally recommend pocketing them if not for the fact that one of mine snapped an ankle once, so they're not super strong. But for maybe keeping in a (hard) pencil case and fiddling with idly? Sure, they're great.

Just look for some kind of 2 part epoxy putty. I don't know what brands you'll have locally but you'll probably find something.

>>5316340
Go to the shop inside the Gundam Front museum (or the cafe but I had better luck in the museum shop) and see if they have a lottery card set near the counter. If not, then ask. Worst case, you win a few clear folders and hand towels. Best case, you win an awesome statue (at least that's what it was last December)
Most convenience stores also have a lottery, usually anime ones. So you can win gifts there as well. For a country with no gambling, there's a lot of gambling ;P

They also got some acrylic paints for art and stuff, can those be used to hand paint details on a model?
Also, would these work as top coat?

>>5316665

probably caused by the paint between the seams making the seam line wider than it should be

How often should compressors and/or air tanks be replaced? I have one of those master compressor w/ tank and regulator sets and I'm worried that the inside of the air tank may be gathering moisture. If it rusts enough it could burst or at least cause some damage.

>>5316887
I have worked around air compressors for many years and have never even heard of one exploding due to rust out. I have seen poorly maintained tanks develop pinholes and leak but thats all. One thing you might want to try is tapping the tank with a hammer and see if you can "hear" any drastic change in the sound,indicating a thinner area of the tank.Theres no way of stopping the moisture in a tank but draining keeps the moisture out of your tools. You may also want to put a low amout of pressure in the tank and spray the tank with a mixture of dish soap and water and look for bubbles.Hope this helped a bit. Good luck

MG Nemo--good choice, or so outdated I'm best off avoiding? I like the look of it.

Two questions: Is there an option parts set with articulated hands for HGs?
And if there is, would said option parts kit work with the old G Gundam model kits?
Oh, and I guess a third question, I see a lot of well made devil Gundam kits have the extra pair of arms protruding from the back. I've looked at a few of these great builds and the arms look the same on all of them, which makes sense considering that they'd have to look the same to match the Gundam from the show, but when the arms look the same on multiple builds it makes me wonder, was there ever an upgrade pack for the devil Gundam like there was for the shuffle alliance? I doubt it but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

>>5316276

If you mean these images then that's not a model kit. That's the MSIA figure which comes with them.

As for articulated hands, no, bandai does not make a option pack for them. You will need to get third party ones and all the third party hands I know of are hilariously oversized for G gundam kits. Your best bet for better hands would probably be the HGBC Jigen build knuckle set which while not articulated comes with three different posed hands for each hand in three different sizes, including small ones for smaller MS.

>>5316928
- Yes, you can buy aftermarket articulated hands for HGs. They are not licensed products, and they can be somewhat fragile. They will most likely require some modification to work on the old G kits.

- There is no upgrade kit as far as I know. Are you sure you weren't looking at the MSIA Devil Gundam action figure? That came with the extra arms.

Alrighty, that's pretty helpful. I'm pretty sure one of the things I saw wasn't the msia, but looking at it it's entirely possible that someone just took the arms from it and applied it to an actual build. A shame about the hands, though, but since the kit I'm using would be the old devil Gundam kit they could work, considering it's size.

You used the foil stickers it came with, for the lenses and eyes?

So I remember from a few years back that the magazine Hobby Japan occasionally comes with bonuses like Gundam head bases or parts. Anyone know where they list if an issue has extras and what they'll be?

You know, gunpla is a good hobby. I can make things and talk about it with some fellow /toy/soldiers.

And then I can also laugh at people getting furious over other people messing up their children's toys because gunpla is always serious business.

Do any of you guys add weight to you kits to make them more stable when standing? I was thinking about getting some 1mm ball bearing to epoxy into the feet and lower legs of my kits.

>>5317229
That sounds like a good idea as long as you don't mess it up. Though having a stand for the figure is just as effective.

I guess some people don't like displaying their figures with a stand, but I like action poses so they are necessary for me. I don't mind them.

I thought about doing this, cause I dislike the super-light feel of plamo compared to action figures and I also thought it would make them more stable.

I display my boxes, they are stacked up on a shelf. I keep the manuals inside the boxes and the spare parts I have a drawer specifically for on my desk for easy access if I want to change poses, etc

>>5317785
I throw away boxes unless there are extra parts that I can use for customs later on, in which case I keep the box with the runners in them. I keep manuals in a binder, and I keep accessories in baggies that I put in a little box.

>>5317708

protip in future:

put pantyhose or another similar light material over the end of your vacuum tube, then vacuum all the areas you think you lost your part until you find it stuck to the material. Remember this for next time, it may save your life.

>>5317773

not him but occasionally something isnt held on alligator clips too well and pings off, it happens to everyone sooner or later.

>>5317634
That wasnt even funny at all.

>>5317785
I keep the box art in a box, manuals and spare parts/runners i keep in a box and in some drawers. I kinda plan on one day lining my wall with gunpla boxes

>>5317835
>lining wall with gunpla boxes
>not saving them for your own funeral pyre

>>5317855
Oh no trust me i wanna go out in like a cool way, burn me with all my stuff on a raft in the water

>>5317873
>polluting the environment even after your death
>doesn't matter since you're dead anyway

>>5317597
That thing doesn't even look like the promo pictures on the box, it's shit. It's rail system for the mono eye is a giant gaping black void when you build it, but it's narrow and sleek on their promo pictures

>>5317879
Pfft, this guy doesn't want a Viking funeral. What a loser.

>>5317198
Anyone?

is there anywhere besides mandarake that I can get cheap gunpla in Tokyo?

Trying to get the hi nu ver ka and it seems the best bet is just to go to Yodobashi.

>>5317972
Vikings didn't really do that

>>5317984

if your just visiting pointless getting stuff you can get online. explore. try yellow sub or the whole akihabara area in general for starters.

>>5317991

maybe not but we did that for a dead friend a while back (the ashes not the body) was a pretty good sendoff.

>>5317991
Who cares? You can't beat that kind of final send off, unless you had strippers dancing along the shoreline.

>>5317998
not pointless, shipping is fucking expensive to where i live and i want a hi nu ver ka

Last day for SS sign-ups.

>>5318130
Dang, I thought it was Red Warrior for a second.

Okay, so I'm painting something up in silver. And I wanna topcoat it after I panel line and decal it. But I want it to stay like...a somewhat "flat" metallic, not get all glossy like a candy coat, you know? Basically, is there anything I can use to seal a metallic paintjob that won't change the look of the surface much?

>>5314443
>i need more graze kais, 1/100, SD, gashapons
>anything!
I was kinda hoping the 1/100 graze came with kai parts, but no luck. Knowing bandai, I'm sure they will make it a separate kit.

Your building of Gunpla will not last forever.

You may grow old and not be dexterous enough to manage all the small pieces. You may die in a car accident a week later from today. You might lose an arm in an unfortunate accident. You may run out of money to purchase more or simply just lose interest in the hobby.

So my question is, what do you foresee to be the final kit you will ever build?

>>5318420
1/100 Leo

>>5317785
Manuals and spare parts in the boxes, runners in the garbage. Boxes sit on shelves.

>>5318397
Sdex have great proportions and some improved articulation, but they sacrifice nearly everything else to achieve it. Gimmicks, part/color separation, the weapons are thin like old 80s fg weapons, less accessories, and big hollow gaps on the backs and undersides of parts.

For example the rifle on the wzc doesn't split into two.

Their saving grace is that they're dirt cheap. For $5 it doesn't look bad if you're willing to paint it a little.

>>5318420
Complex scratch build. I can die happy knowing I can build whatever I want regardless of there being a kit of it.

There is an MG FA ZZ Sentinel Colors at my local thrift shop for $20.

All the runner packages have been open and an arm has been built. I'm not sure if there are missing pieces, but the box seems pretty full.

Is it worth the get?

>>5318485
Believe in Plamor, he brought you there for a reason.

What lacquer thinner do you guys use to clean stuff? I can't find anything other than "Green" or "Low VOC" stuff at hardware stores.

>>5318420
My final build would prolly be a pg ex-s if it ever got one


>>5318485
Yes thats kinda of a good deal

>>5318485
If it's cheap, take the leap. You can always attempt to scrap build what's missing, or even borrow a piece from another kit if it works.

>>5318420
If I knew it would be the last one, PG Unicorn.

Fuck that. My skeleton is coming back for my tools and backlog.

>>5318679
Only once I've replaced my hand with a pair of nippers, maybe I should get a pair of godhands

Where do you guys keep all your spare/hands/weapons/excess parts? Do you just throw them back into the characters specific box and box hoard or you you have containers?

>>5318756
I've been building for years and unfortunately I do the former
Really need to get rid of some of these boxes

>>5318718
But anon, you are a skeleton. Just imagine being in the 4th dimension, you could be building a 1/1 scale leo

>>5318756
I try my best to be organized, but failed at that so i throw it all into a drawer

>>5318756
I don't have alot of kits so just have a small box I keep all the accessories in sandwich bags in

>>5318783
same here but my collection is slowly growing. i'll probably do the same things dalong did when I get time and a break from building

>>5318796
what did dalong do?

It's not super relevant here but apparently the image spam shitposter left his name on

manuals put in folder holders and boxes in his closet, but I'm going to just keep the box art and not the whole box though. I think he also just puts all his spare parts in a plastic bin in his closet too

No wonder he shitposts in threads about plastic robots.

>>5318879
His twitter has nothin on it, could be a scapegoat for that kid, he did try posing as a mod

>>5318420
before I picked up gunpla again in the past year, I thought the last kit I would ever build was the MG Zeta 2.0 back in 2005

>>5318905
what did you build recently?

>>5318909
last finished kit was RX-78 Revive, next up on the queue is HGUC Sinanju, then Jegan (ECOAS) and Char's Zaku II Origin Ver.

Secret Santa starts soon!
Will you send a funny card?

>>5318971
Ill send golden plum candy with what i send out. Prolly also attach a hawaiian christmas card

>>5318971
I'm including a pack of crispy m&ms to my package if I get an American. You poor people have gone so long without the best M&Ms

>>5318980
Arent they the pretzel ones or malt ones?

we have that here though

>>5318982
They're the malt like ones. Basically Maltesers but with an M&M coating. America discontinued them years ago.
Wait, I just checked the US m&m site. When did they start selling them again? Now I have to come up with a new chocolate gift.

just send boxes of grape flavored nerds, tbqh best candy senpai

>>5319004
It's so cliche, though.
>>5319007
>nerds
I honestly forgot they existed.

If the person wants a UC gunpla I'll send them a tube of vegemite and a postcard with a picture of an intact Sydney.

>>5319003
Either late last year or early this year

The first day I saw them back I felt like I was seeing a mythical creature

>>5319000
Just get the MGs, they tend to be reasonably priced too.

By that logic all of the super robots that made a cameo in g count as gundams
