-=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:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobilephotoresizer

PROBLEM:
Right now a theme can win with less than 50% of the thread having ANY interest in participating in the theme.
How to solve shitty themes winning:
Allow negative votes.
Allowing for voting against themes would lower the scores of both your favorite niche theme and the cancer retarded themes, while increasing the scores of themes that everyone would be okay with, but are no ones favorite.
The theme that is the "favorite" for the greatest number of individuals != the theme that the most people would want to build.
>>
>>
>>23819127
>less than 50% of the thread having ANY interest in participating in the theme
Coincidentally less than 50% of the thread build anything at all. The system ain't gonna work better no matter how much shit you add because there's no way to filter actual builder votes
>>
>>23819132
>>23819128
>>23819127
The real solution is since GBD already collects emails, is to have the people who actually submitted in the previous build have their votes could 2x/3x towards a theme, as they are more likely to actually participate.
>>
>>
>>23819137
Making new emails and participating in the groupbuilds under each one so eventually I can rig a poll singlehandedly and every groupbuild is just me competing with myself and like two other guys. And I'm just toiling away on kits all day full time.

I am automatically not voting for entries that don't include a crotch pic
>>23819148
I feel like the base kit being built already is fine. It's when someone has a project they've been building and painting for months prior to the groupbuild starting that goes against the spirit of the competition.
>>
>>23819127
Ehh, I could try Ranked Voting the next time around, though I'd do 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th favorite theme instead of having an option that counts as negative points.
>>23819137
While the polls do require you to be logged in, I don't actually collect emails from anyone with them. It's mostly there to deter ballot stuffing
>>23819181
Resin kits should be fine, and it's a character from a Gundam anime so I see no problem with it. I'm probably gonna use a Resin kit I bought ages back from e2046 ages ago.

Nope. You will have to get either of the two official 30MS waterslide sheets, get a different line like MD or go third party. Also, most of the 30MS kits don't come with blank faceplates

That's because they already started high and have stayed there. $29 for a HG 01 Gundam is pretty expensive, given that it's basically just a recolored White Gundam but with a different head. These are essentially tariff prices, and we should celebrate only when they start coming down.
>>
>>23819068
I got it for like 1200-1500 yen from Japan an dI still don't know what to make of it. Looks like a Sports Gundam if they made a show like that after Build Fighters. I'm going to pretend the shoulder bits are detachable funnels and that the thrusters can be shoulder cannons, but I've fuck-all in terms of explaining its appearance

Mascot Anon here, The slot for request are still open
Participant may request one of the either:
A. a mascot with suggested theme, usually a creatures
or
B. Bust portrait of their Ace Custom's pilot(Reference appreciated)
Currently expecting to be able to provide:
One slots full color final product remain(no background, one slot preserved for Burst Hail, will be given to next in line if request isn't made)
The remaining two slot will be given a sketch of their request
Please post picture of entries not used by groupbuild dude(WIP and older photo is okay) to verify your participation.
This post will be repost until the slot are either full, or one more thread after the final theme is confirmed.
>>23816246
Posting some work in progress for Nyuren's pilot.
This is the current base design for her portrait so far, although the final design might differs.
I plan to make her hair white, and here is her current pilot suit design. I may opt for the version where the jacket and inner pilot suit are opened in the middle.
If there are any change you would like to request please tell me.
>>23816089
As for the Akaitsuki's mascot, I would like to apologize for the delay, I am currently coming up with her design, hopefully I can show it to you soon, as of now I have settled on making her a miko warrior that wield a samurai sword.

I mean it might, I'm just saying pre molded parts have advantages and that the RG frame issue is specific to the implementation. If they went and made them with say ABS and POM they would wear out less (maybe, I'm not a material scientist)

its for snapshitters, this ""tech""" isn't even new its been used for tools and other junk (like your toothbrushes) for decades prior. Only reason you dont see anyone else doing this is because its significantly more expensive to tool.
Hence why bandai only uses it to a few pieces at most these days or heavily reuses the mold like the old RG b frame or any premolded hands MGs and PGs have..

It was half-off because it was used (probably a microscopic dent somewhere) and unwanted. It does a good enough job at being a Gqux but ehhh... I can't not see an Evangelion

I might pick up Fred only if I'm really hurting for an Eva and if I can't get over the Rebuild colours of the RG
At least my Red Gundam has a pal though, probably the last Gqux kits I'd get unless the Hamburabi is amazing (and it'll definitely be less of a brick than the HGUC) or if they make a Braw Bro/Kikeroga

they list upcoming reprints on their website, but it's no different from what you will see for preorder on sites like hlj. they don't have a regular reprint cycle and have been known to go over 10 years without reprinting a kit

They might be. Though, the price tag on the H&S might be worth it. The one I'm looking at from H&S is the Evolution CR Plus (2024) because of the 2 metal cups and the 3 needles. The other accessories I can get them from other places (quick disconnect, moisture traps, and hose)
Speaking of moisture traps, is it worth to get an extra one if your compressor already has one?

this is pretty odd.
lot of colour separation for parts like the hip plates and shoulders, but then they make no effort on larger parts like the arms? maybe indication of p-ban or separate kit to follow.

>maybe indication of p-ban or separate kit to follow.
I think it's the opposite desu
the arms and chest are pretty spot on for the Okawara MP Nu and Bandai still felt like cheapening out on them
you'd figure if they plan on reusing it they would pay more attention to parts that can be reused

Plastic is not resin. Without part separation, the plastic sculpt looks like caca. Plamo keeps looking better because of part separation, the colored plastic is just an additional benefit on top of it.

>>23820527
Being artistic IS HARD for most.
To think even slightly beyond what a producer straight up provides you is not something the average person does or puts into motion. Creativity dies in most people at puberty.
I paint 40k minis but I have no real desire to do kits, I usually like the default schemes.
>>
Do you think the Magiphoenix that comes with SMP Saintkaiser is backwards compatible with SMP Wolkaiser? The horses share the same mold anyway and the only difference is the horn and tail/combined robo head sculpt. I really don't want to buy Magiking just for Magiphoenix.

So I want some white panel liner, anyone got any brands besides this one? It's going to take 2 weeks for amazon to deliver it, and I don't want to wait.

I have mixed and used water based, oil and enamel liners.
enamels always work best.
oils are good, but take forever to dry and smear (this is both a pro and con)
water based paints tend to bleed to other areas when they dry. they are also the least resilient, and don't play well with other paint base layers when doing solvent cleanup. that's the big benefit of oils/enamels. their thinners do not disturb acrylic or lacquer paints.

it's going to be the new kit with the hyaku shiki's cannon over the shoulder. im going to give it the manhunter colors from that one jegan in hathaway 1 because i think there is no such thing as too much firepower when there's spacenoids that need to be ejected into space

>they charged me $20 shipping for my $240 order
>think it's just because it contains a multiple large kits including the MG Full Armor ZZ
>turns out that's just how they're handling the pre-order vs in-stock split policy
>if your order is entirely pre-orders or entirely in-stock, they just refund you back half the shipping charge
You know what, I can live with this. Though really, I think the major gripe people had was with pre-orders getting delayed and thus not shipping within the originally advertised period (e.g. a Q2 2026 pre-order getting pushed back to Q4 2026). That one they could probably solve just by sending out automated e-mails any time a pre-order date is pushed back for an ordered product, instead of putting them all on a single page where you have to scroll to the bottom of the front page to find the link.

Vastly prefer Moderoids, even with all their faults.
I bought the Gorg doublepack, the two Time Bokan mechs, Fighbird, Dagwon and Zearth from SMP and only the last one felt like as if I got my money's worth.
Fucking hell, Gorg couldn't even hold its gun properly and I had to fuck around with multiple magnets to make it somewhat work.

you don't have to be artistic, just autistic. I have seen amazing stuff painted by a guy that can't even draw with a crayon and doesn't own a single paint brush. it just takes hours and hours of tedious work with masking tape and cut out stencils.

Moderoid/GSC also doesn't keep over half of its line-up behind exclusivity bars outside of some special cases like recolors and extreme niche stuff like Wyverion or that K&M chariot and keeps reprinting their kits regularly.

Saw these little niggas and was reminded of the scam that are the recent Votoms HGs.
How much of a rat can you be to sell the cockpit gimmick as pbandai?
Also these could make for a fun army builder/squad groupbuild.

That kind of thick mushy looks is when you try to mold a bunch of details without part separation.

Who are you trying to bullshit, here? Military models have very excessive part separation. Even a dogshit sloppy paintjob can make them shine due to how defined the details are. The more challenging part of a military kit is the human figure because they look quite shit due to plastic molding limitation. Part separation gives dept to the sculpt, those old Bandai kits look shit because they had like 2 runners with 10 parts in total. Assuming you are a Pro Modeler™, one would think you were supposed to know about this.

I'm disappointed the GQ Bits don't have mono eyes. Feels like everyone always forgets that detail

has the spn-120 been matched or surpassed yet? i've tried a bunch of other single blade supposed god hand killers and they've all been kinda disappointing (doesnt cut flush enough, rough cut, still pinches a bit which leaves a mark after sanding).
>>
>>23821710
with single blade cutters it's basically not possible to beat godhands without also being in a similar price bracket as godhands
you're arguing with materials science at that point
but i like my $15 ruitool 1.0s
