-=READ THE GUIDES=-
Welcome to the Gunpla/Plamo General!
For those new, please read our guides. We have many resources available to help you in many different aspects of the hobby. They're here for you!
For the unclear, "plamo" is short for "plastic model". "Gunpla" is thus short for "Gundam plastic model". Many different kinds of models are built here, ranging from mecha to planes, cars, musume, you name it! If you're new, you're gonna screw up. Don't worry! If you're seasoned, don't make the newbies worry!

And don't forget to report shitposting and spam. The mods don't browse /m/ too often, so it's up to YOU to help keep our general clean and civil!

>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Be more specific, and try to provide clear images if you can.

>Why are my pictures sideways?
4chan strips EXIF data when images are uploaded, including the orientation tag if it's from your phone. To fix it save out your images separately, or use an app that will rotate and save the images for you.
One easy to use app that works well on Android:

There is no modification to the runners to undergate them so you will encounter a lot of ugly nub mark spots, hope you can find a metallic paint that perfectly matches the plating

HG for sure, if you are under zero rush then you could wait to get him the entry grade Wing Gundam that is coming out, otherwise the HGs of any of the main Gundams are all good. Wing Zero still holds up great. Out of the ones I've built so far that you can easily get i think I enjoyed Deathscythe the most. They are releasing the upgraded versions of all the main Gundams as standard releases sooner or later so you can also snag those at some point. The Leo is super easy to build and is a great kit, same with the Maganac, if your bro is into grunts

Asking again but does anyone know the cutoff date of when they started making kits with articulated knee joints? It bothers me when the knee is connected to the calf and you bend the leg and it looks weird with a mono armor on the leg and exposed leg joint.

The wing HGs are 10 years old at this stage and don't look amazing out of the box. Since I doubt your friend wants to start touching up kits his first time around, I'd recommend the RG Wing Gundam (RG 35). Not to be confused with the RG Wing Gundam Zero, although that kit is ok too.

Just take your time. If I'm working with a kit that is awkward, I'll take parts like the legs or arms off and pose them separately then re-attach them. It's also much easier to pose kits if you have an action base for them.

It's simple as that. Anyone can make the new thread so long as they follow the norm of the general. We just let the tripfag do it because he's good at photoshop and has those fancy thread logos.

One thing I would slowly realize looking at the BB Senshi Musha Retsuden kits is that their slightly changed lore of the Seven Mushas make them parallel each of the samurai in Samurai 7 since the original Seven Mushas from the original trilogy take after the original Seven Samurai.
>The current wielder of the Crimson Armor, Retsumaru, will always be Katsushiro, the armor itself coming from his father, Rekka Musha Gundam. As a young and inexperienced samurai slowly growing throughout his travels, he would become a great samurai at the end of it all, symbolized by utilizing all seven Bukabuka Armors and the Crystal Phoenix to be the next Rekka Gundam Daishogun.
>Shippu Kengo Zeta, himself based on the expert horseman Musha Zeta, is Gorobei, the reliable second-in-command.
>Gounetsu Karakuri-shi Double Zeta, based on the mechanic Musha ZZ, is Heihachi, who is an expert in even fixing and breaking airships. The engineering talent is not in the original Heihachi.
>Ryujin Doushi Nu, who lost Musha Nu's katana, is Shichiroji, an expert at the spear. Like with Nu, this Shichiroji lost his spear.
>Onmitsu Ninja Nohmaru, himself a complete reimagining of the Taiga Amachi Special version of Musha Nohmaru by remaining a ninja while being among the seven, is actually the analog to Kanbei, leader of the Seven. Maybe it comes to being the brother of Rekka Musha AND wearing the Crimson Armor in Comic World? Either way, Nohmaru mentors Retsumaru in the final leg of the story just like how Kanbei mentors Katsushiro throughout every version of the Seven Samurai story.
>At first glance, Tensho Karyudo Mk-II is meant to match nitoryu expert Kyuzo in the surface, though it would be even clearer with how messed up things go over time because Mk-II is an identity taken up by three siblings, with one of them being the main villain like how Kyuzo wanted to duel Kanbei as payment.

>>23459808
>The last of the Seven is Tekki Musha Psycho, an entirely mechanical Musha just like Samurai 7's Kikuchiyo, who is a cyborg in that version of the story. And they weren't entirely mechanical in the original stories, as Musha Psycho was a bandit leader in SD Sengokuden and Kikuchiyo is just an imposing guy portrayed by Toshio Mifune, but serves as the comic relief of the original Seven Samurai.

I got it like a week ago. I didn't paint it because the out of box looks are fantastic, so I didn't post it either. A little bit of cement and sanding on the rocket launcher is all the actual work it needed. Everything new to the F80 is flawless in construction.
It's insane how good the pigment density in modern plastics are. It just needs a satin clearcoat on it and it's done. I'm just giving the decals a few days to dry out so that some mr. super smooth doesn't fuck them up.
I also am going to do some spot details with metallics. Mostly just gun barrels and the tiny molded in verniers.
The whole F90 line is just fantastic. Shame about the price on a lot of them though. I tried the bootleg out but it's just horrible.

Why satin? Isn’t that semigloss? I thought that’s what gives it the same finish as just bare plastic.
Anonymous No.23461569 >>23461587
>>23461553
Satin is a bit more matte than semigloss. The mr. super smooth makes it look like you did paint without the need to milhouse the whole thing. It's weird that the mr. super smooth matte is so much less flat than the mr. super clear matte. Feels nicer in the hand too. It's good stuff.
Clearcoat also diffuses the light differently than bare plastic and makes the color more clean. It also hides flowmarks and shit and It'll lock in the panel lining and the decals.
The panel lining is done with thinned down acrylic primer and a fountain pen so it's not that tough on its own. The perk of it is that it's safer on bare plastic than tamiyas pissin hot enamel panel liner.

That makes sense thanks for explaining. Are you using spray cans for the top coat? Does Mr hobby even make a satin top coat?
Anonymous No.23461615
>>23461585
Yeah. It comes with some smaller 80 decals as well, despite there being no current use for them. I think they're to apply to mission packs.
The little triangles on the front skirt and knees are also decals.

>>23461587
I use spray cans. Mr.hobby seems to just call satin matte and you have to know which products are matte and which are satin.
I do own an airbrush and a ton of paints, spray cans are just way easier for clearcoating. They make it easy to get a nice even wet coat and are always mixed perfectly. Clearcoats seem to be a lot pickier about thinner ratios and dry times than paint so I just spend a bit more for ease of use.
This also isn't topcoated yet, just so you know.

Absolutely not trolling, I'm just very ignorant and don't do gunpla basically at all.

Thanks for the info, honestly 250 is a lot cheaper then I was expecting. Do these come with color at all, or is it entirely grey even for the final release? Obviously I know that painting is a big part of doing gunpla, but they typically have colored plastic to begin with if you don't wanna go that route, right?

the modeler is fucking retarded, the shoulder is that loose because he didn't fully push it in along withe the arm, just look at the gaps

the shoulder connector is the same as the Dark Matter and the Exia, it needs the arm has a coonector that fits the shoulder connector piece.

TL;DR: it is working as inteded, the modeler is shit or misrepresenting the kit because he is retarded

it is expensive for a FM, even in Japan. its 5000 yen while a MG RX-78-2 2.0 is 4200 yen, MG Vidar is 6000 yen, a MG Turn A is 3800 yen.

thats why the RE 1/100 failed, it was supposed to be MG designs that are too unpopular or too expensive if they make it, retooled to be cheaper. but instead, it still have kits that are more expensive than most MGs
>>23459216
technically all the MG Unicorns even the MGEX have something wrong in them in terms of articulation.

the MG Unicorn ver Ka can barely move his legs, the MG Unicorn OVA, OVA+Cage has an articulation of a 90s 1/100 HG

the RG Unicorn is currently the best representation of the Unicorn Gundam right now

>>23459216
The PG Unicorn has that stupid Destroy mode Unchained which ruins the whole look even in just Unicorn mode or normal Destroy mode

the MGEX Unicorn, while fixing the proportions and articulation, the articulation is actually limited by the LED wiring and you have to keep opening the side flaps just to bend the knee, which the RG and PG doesn't do.

in short, the RG is the best representation/articulation of Unicorn Gundam
>>23464264
Done.
Building SD in-between MGs is nice.
V.Buster is pretty nice, and the combined dual guns pose is really cool. But the articulation is really bad even for SD since everything is so big. It has better balance than Blu Duel, though. The Body and Waist also can't connect since there's no part that actually connects them, I had to double tape them. Double tape, my best friend.
I'm gonna build Gusion (Frog) next

the MGEX Unicorn brought back the original leg armour shape, but added a gimmick where the flaps spread apart so the knee can bend further. MGEX is a huge improvement over the MG, but it sucks that it's stuck in MGEX hell. a LED-less stripped-down kit could have easily passed as a "2.0" of the original MG.
When are they going to announce the MG MP Nu Gundam that we know they've been working on for years
>gundam base limited
I just realized we don't actually have MG Stargazer.
>want SD Heine's Orange Zaku
>have to buy the zaku set
>no one's selling the individual kit
nyoooooo I don't care about the other 3
>>23464350
You don't the knee to bend more than 90. Very few designs do desu. Certainly not the Unicorn. Most UC designs even. Few like the Gundam Pixie, sure, but not really like a GM Command or S Gundam.

All designs need at least a butterfly joint on the shoulders and a waist swivel though. Ab crunch as well if it's not heavy. Your creativity can take care of the rest.

You have a higher likelihood of Chang turning the Metal Robot Damashii into a kit like they did with the Hi-Nu and Destiny.
>>23464386
and Justice. and Astray Gold/Red/Blue Frame. and Astraea. and F91. and HIRM kits.
>>23464390
Those were all Metal Builds. Hi Nu and Density were Metal RDs. Big difference.

Hopefully Zhang will do us a solid after releasing the Zeus Silhouette RD kit.
>>23464371
Strike Noir is the only MG we got from the Stargazer movie.

>the shoulder is that loose because he didn't fully push it in along withe the arm, just look at the gaps
>it is working as inteded, the modeler is shit or misrepresenting the kit because he is retarded
The peg is just that loose. Apparently Exia Dark Matter has a really long shoulder peg with a shallow greeble for its pauldrons to rest on and there is nothing else to keep them stay in place.

What's the best way of getting rid of stress marks? I built my first kit with only a cheap double bladed nipper that I used to cut off the connection points flush to the part, so pretty much every single part got permanent stress marks.
>>23464550
rub the area with your finger nail, if that doesn't work, a little bit of heat should do the trick, but it's a really risky move
>>23464550
Paint
>>23464550
Literally the only way to hide it is with paint. Some snaptards here will say topcoat is good enough but it really isnt. Topcoated plastic looks like a shitty mcdonalds toy
>>23464550
heard it's possible to do that by digging a little and filling it with sprue good
has anyone here done this? no idea if it actually works
>>23464550
is there a bump? get a nail file, the smoother you have and clean it. you will need a very smooth file for the finish
if you dont have the files, use a scalpel that is very sharp. clean the nub not by vutting it but brushing it with no force

theres a hole? do this >>23464579
and you are kinda fucked. you would need some difficult to use stuff to fix like soft plastic cement, some of the sprue parts and to use at least 2 abrasive files to clean it, one coarse and one very fine. otherwise might as well consider putty and painting.
It’s kind of incredible how well the chinks were replicate the lineart. I’m glad they are giving us faithful artist respecting kits of some of the less mainstream good designs that bandai would never
>>23464588
I did my best to sand the parts down so they're mostly even, no bumps of holes.
I guess my only option is painting the whole kit, that'll have to wait a long time though because I'll need an airbrush and a fuckton of different paints
>>23464589
Which kit is that? It looks really good compared to other chinkslop (looking at you retarded chinese dragon kits)
>>23464589
How is this supposed to be respectful to the artist?
>>23464599
1/100 golden warrior (chink full armor hyaku shiki kai)
>>23464605
Are chink kits safe to buy from Aliexpress or are even these ones bootlegs?
>>23464589
non-canon stuff are always overdesigned
>>23464595
theres something you can try, but i havent verified myself if it works. you can try on the sprues if you can replicate the stress mark

if you have those soft cement for plastic based on acetone, spread a very small amount on the plastic. if its sufficientply spread and the acetone does smooth out the plastic, you might ""revitalize"" the plastic.
its how it would be done with plastic parts that are scratched too deeply
>>23464608
golden warrior isn't a bootleg
>>23464608
Yeah everyone buys chink kits from there, just make sure to check the seller because AliExpress isn’t the one who sells them it’s like Amazon with individual shops. If they have like 98% positive feedback then you should be good to go. I’ve bought a few chink kits from there. Gundamit is also a good option for chink kits.

This is a completely original kit of a gundam design, so it’s not a bootleg. Bootlegs are when they straight copy the runners of a bandai model kit.
>>23464608
check the seller
if the seller is good you are good
t. chink goods enjoyer
>>23464612
What I mean is Jpanese merch you can buy on Aliexpress if often bootleg. Does this also apply to chinese merch or not?
>>23464615
>>23464616
Nevermind you guys answered while I was typing :)

>>23464611
I'll give that a try, but scratches and stress marks are very different.
>>23464595
>>23464550
From the sounds of it, it seems you're dealing with stress marks penetrating the actual plastic of the pieces. I have to deal with a similar thing, and from the sound of it, your current snippers are too dull. I was able to minimize the chances/effects of the stress marks by either snipping quickly with a strong, quick squeeze or snipping the piece out and sanding the remaining nub down with a glass file instead of cutting. While using dull snippers, I also found that I was less likely to get stress marks by trying to snip flush against the piece while it was still in the sprue.

As for existing stress marks, if they aren't too bad, you might be able to fix some of the smaller ones by sanding or filing away the top layer of the plastic, but the issue with stress marks is that they typically penetrate a good few millimeters. Painting will be your best bet.
>>23464589
These honestly look like 2 completely different designs. I love the FA Hyaku Shiki but this is not it. I will not be buying this.
>>23464608
aliexpress buyer protection seems to be pretty solid too from my experience.
of the 4 kits I've got from there so far, one of them never shipped and I got automatically refunded for it but everything else arrived no issue
>>23464617
Check out Osiris Aerial Dominator, Solomon Physalis, Fire Lord, Lizard, Tristan, Gawain, Alkaid Pink, Zyklon, Blade King, Eternal Star Glory, Star Destroyer, Raijin, Nebula and Asgard as well
>>23464617
>Does this also apply to chinese merch or not?
they usually announce when its a bootleg. they kinda learned at some point.
for instance theres a few xiaomi smartphone sellers that specialize in cheap phones that look like expensive phones. they usually say out loud something like "this is a phone that looks like that phone" and its as cheap as it gets
>>23464635
>Zyklon
????????
>>23464635
As someone who hates most Gundam designs, I think I'll be getting into chinkpla once I clear my Muv-Luv backlog. I especially like the designs of the Tristan, Ao Bing, and Fire Lord (the last 2 are a bit overdesigned but not egregiously so like some other chinkpla)
>>23464222

Sorry to hurt your feelings but a lot of gundam designs are dogshit. They're big metal boxes all with the exact same helmet and very similar parts to eachother. And 90% of them all have the exact same color scheme it's insane.
The weapons are especially bad. It's always basic laser guns and lightsabers (laser weapons are so lame).
>>23464677
Fuck off retard
>>23464676
>irony
it's pottery
>>23464677
i agree with the weapons. some of the better weapon designs are on the later stages like unicorn and celestial beans but the weapons on hi nu for instance looks awful

Invalid criticism. Paint exists and you're SUPPOSED to paint your models. If you leave them unpainted they are unfinished.
>>23464703
It means you should learn how to use Google instead of asking us dumbass questions
>>23464704
>you're SUPPOSED to change the dogshit design yourself
There's no reason to buy Bandai's Exia Dark Matter when you can just buy this for the same price.
>>23464677
This is the thing the chinks have been shamelessly ripping off of for decades by the way. It's a shame that they cannot create art, as they are not ensouled people.
>>23464708
The color isnt part of the design, retard. Sorry you're too fucking stupid to learn how to paint I guess maybe you should just stick to action figures.
MG Stargazer's box art is fucking insane
>>23464706
That don't look like no Aura Battler to me.
>>23464717
I mean it kinda does
>>23464717
That's because it's from a porn game that some cumbrained gooners jack off to. Dont bother looking it up, the game is almost as bad as the mecha designs.
There's a schizo war on here
>>23464723
OH. It's from Muv-Luv. Yeah, I tried watching that shit, but couldn't ever get farther than 4 episodes. It was just some boring, generic slop with a bitchy Japanese ice queen who kept throating 'muh superior Japanese design' while deriding some Amerimutt half-jap protagonist, so I never got to see many of the actual mech designs.
>>23464735
>watching
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>23464737
The anime sucks but it's still better than the porn game
>>23464737
If your mech designs don't have a show or a video game, I'm not interested in them.
>>23464741

Call it whatever you want, Ken-Sama. "Visual Novel" or whatever it's still a porn game. Changing the name doesn't change what it is.

Not show accurate enough.

Needs the colored face, lacks the fully maroon shoulders, and has needless knee greeble. The chink one is an overall higher quality kit, but it's a poor Exia Dark stand-in.

Are the system weapons by bandai still in print? Thinking of getting the long barrel beam rifle for my RG GP01FB but unsure if that thing is still in circulation.

Any suggestions for painting tinted clear parts without using just making it opaque? I'm thinking of putting silver underneath the clear white, but I'm not so sure about the red and yellow.
>>23466682
They look nice with a gloss coat over them.
Fuck it I'm done for tonight.
>>23466682
I will never understand transparent kits. Its not like the underlying mechanism actually has shit that simulates machinery. Its just a ticket to seeing the mostly featureless plastic under your tupperwear mobile suit.
Give it to me straight how many of you guys paint your models? Is it the only way to make them look good?
>>23468246
with enough skill and tools you can make your snapshit plastic good with just a simple matte clear spray and a bit of weathering items like washes and pigments

Nice
X bros ..
>>23468246
Yes, but I'm autistic and I want things to be a specific color.
Also because I erase seam lines, sharpen edges and putty up panel lines that I don't like so the kit ends up discolored and in need of painting.
>>23468630
Are there notable differences from the regular FAZZ aside from some possible parts revision?
>>23469118
other than basically incluing parts to make the ZZ backpack, its the same kit in other colors and different decals
I want to get some bootleg Jegans going so my Sazabi has grunts to fight. Is there a difference between the blue torso version and the standard Jegan? They're going to get painted either way so it doesn't matter what color they are.
