*READ THE GUIDE*

For those new to gunpla/plamo or even just new to this thread; please read the 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!
If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, don't make the new people worry!

And remember to report any shitposting and spam to keep the thread clean and civil.

>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post images whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting images.

>Why are my pictures sideways?
4chan strips EXIF data from images when they're uploaded to the site from your phone, including the orientation display tag. To fix this, save your images separately, or use an app that will rotate and save the images for you.

At the rate things are going with recent MGs, I'm questioning if Bandai is going to try to do some shit like MGRG or something.

>>21576796
yes and no
that applies to UC MG kits a lot more while the latest seed kits are a lot more detail rich following in RG's logic of "this is a 16+ metre tall thing so it should have more detail and little mechanisms as it moves"
then suits from 00 and ibo were designed with dense detail that could be simplified/reducted easily in mind for selling toys, hero shots and animating
>>

before MG and HGUC were a thing, yes. Otherwise that statement is patently false.

Zakus are the mig25 to the RX's F15. Big and intimidating scaring the Feds into a mountain sized leap ahead in technology
then they got bigger with crazy experimental ones hitting the 20m mark with Zeta/Waverider
they then go into the bullshitium spruce goose area with ZZ, NU and Xi/Peen-pole

We're not yet at the micro-isation timeline in real life like Gundam turned into. Zaku 1/2 and Gundam I parallel to the MK V tank. I would say that the Unicorn and maybe the Hathaway's flash era mobile suits are equivalent to today's Abrams, Leopard 2, T-14/F-35 Su 57 etc. I think we will soon see miniaturization of real life combat vehicles like we do in Gundam.

>>
>>21577005

My point being that from the examples in Gundam we have seen, funnels are a bit too nimble to be taken down like that drone was downed. Or the countless other ones have been.

Why are you like this?
>>
>>21577032
If that's your angle, you might as well argue that they aren't the same because UAVs don't have to be operated by psychics.
>>
>>21576982
the 78's titties takes pure inspiration from the post mig25 jet intakes and it's strength compared to the Zak is very analogous to the leap in tech the claps made with their jets
Zaks are definitely inspired by ww2/soviet vehicles visual design-wise
The purposes and size of something like the ZZ is in the goofy area. Mecha isn't realistic, but Zeta has a practical function that doesn't suspend your disbelief too far of being able to fight in space, the point of no return when entering an atmosphere and in air combat when in atmosphere
ZZ is meant to do all this AND be submersible while also lacking the fat chunky binder and shield that Zeta uses for re-entry (and carry other suits for both logistical and planet-fall purposes). When Neo-Zeek finally get around to stealing the Zeta they lean heavily on it's air/space superiority leaving out the big niche regular old Z has cornered the market on

Nu is more excusable being a more space oriented suit and the Hathaway suits fly on magic
>>
>>21577046
the angle being that funnels aren't dog shit bitches taken out by being casually bumped like uavs.
>>
>>21577052
concession accepted
>>
>>21577051
>Hathaway suits fly on magic
Not really. You could theoretically power an aircraft just with hydrogen particles (which are basically everywhere and unlimited) the only problem is they don't really explain how they do it or how they deal with the heat which really doesn't matter anyway since it doesn't affect the plot and only the biggest fucking dorks would care about that shit.
>>
>>21577031
which they didn't give her a horse face compared to the art
chest could be a bit less flat and the legs could've had a bit more depth in it's details like the art
also I still don't get why Katoki is going with these chunky vortex generators still. They might have to be that thick to survive the electroplating process or some bullshit, which we could just go back to the way they were molded on the chest piece like the Nu if we HAVE to have them
otherwise very excited

I don't disagree there. Early on they tried to definitely paint Zeon as Germany during WW2. However, I'm going based upon the real life size increase of combat vehicles in conjunction with Gundam. Pic related. Look at the size of that P51(?) compared to more modern jets.

ZZ can't re-enter the atmosphere on its own, it has no waverider functionality anon. Try watching ZZ sometime.

Hathaway suits fly on the same magic warships did in the first place. Well, that and, like many things in Gundam, a technology proposes IRL: electromagnetic fields to create a fake aerodynamic profile.

oops pardon
must be remembering gfortress moments wrong because they do it like 2 or 3 times in the series
>>
>>21576921
The serious canon answer? Bigger and more powerful reactors which allowed for bigger and more powerful weapons along with more powerful thrusters to carry the thicker armor. In the case of the Xi and penolope specifically they have minovsky craft engines on them like pegasus class ships have which allow them to easily fly in the atmosphere. They're huge as a result of the minovsky craft being big and needing a big reactor to power it all. Then shortly afterwards they found some way to shrink the size of reactors while retaining output and the era of smaller and lighter ms began.
>>
>>21577102
It's purely for space and atmospheric cruising. It has to use a ballute to descend. Fun moment where Ple in the Qubeley has to shoot off its shoulder binders because they're fucking up reentry while riding Judau down.

God that ending was fucking retarded. Gonna make a diorama of Julietta's Reginlaze and Iok's Graze getting wrecked to bits by the Barbatos and Gusion Rebake.

>>21577286
they do get restocked, it's just that there are possibly thousands of people abusing their backorder system by leaving a ton of orders to reserve a kit years in advance. Now that bandai refuses to bring back the monthly restock list, it's impossible to tell what gets restocked so nobody fucking knows until maybe new reprints show up in your local stores

The hint is in the name. They're cheap, accessible ways for people to dip their toes in with zero commitment. You can even build them without tools entirely and still get okay results.
The RX-78 and Nu kits both look pretty good too, not out of place on the shelf with HGs. The EG Strike comes off a little too simple and plain to me, though.

consumers not getting plastic spoons ain't going to change shit, the issue is unregulated 3rd world factories pumping out those spoons which probably wont be too effected by this ban

>>21577679
how exactly would they not be affected by a huge part of their market disappearing?

spoons don't go off or anything
no reason for them to stop producing a storing spoons

You're not thinning it enough or cleaning it between adding more then. I can prime using mr finishing surfacer 1500 for hours without anything clogging up. Just backflush and shoot some lacquer thinner between refills and thin your primer.

Maybe 30MS isn't doing as well as hoped? Bandai turned them into VTubers, for the 30MM/30MS YT channel, and have an Uma Musume collab, too.

Lest we forget, Bandai has their own idol group, too. LINKL PLANET already has a "2nd Generation", 7 singles, a TV show, and a bunch of live performances incoming.

>What's the deal with this Japan obsession about idols?
It's like a system for maintaining the hierarchy at this point. The rich and powerful men get to pick and choose, while the lower class men get hooked and spend money on these unattainable women.
The idea of becoming an idol is glamorized, so young girls will want to become idols, thereby perpetuating both cycles.

==14TH GUNDAM FIGHT GROUPBUILD==

>Build a Gundam themed around a country of your choice!
>This time around it's Gundams only - no non-Gundam MS allowed. Keep in mind though that the definition of what a "Gundam" is in the Future Century is very loose (ie: Nether Gundam, Mammoth Gundam, Mandala Gundam, etc) so you're free to go off the beaten path when it comes to Gundam design
>You can use other G Gundam kits as a basis, but try to make something completely new instead of just submitting an existing suit as-is.
>Your choice of country is up to you - you can choose your home country or any other country on the globe to represent in the Gundam Fight
>The key element to each Gundam Fighter is a special move/finisher (ie: Shining Finger, Rose Hurricane, Gaia Crusher, etc). Try to come up with a move that makes your suit stand out!

Submit your entries to gunplaplamo@gmail.com , include at least 5 finished pics and any WIP pics you took while working on your entry, as well as a brief description of your build.

START - 3/19/23

Oh yeah one more thing, since Imgur is being shit at the moment I've gone and made a Flickr page to host all the Groupbuild entries from the past 6-7 years. The only problem is that I have a maximum limit of 1000 photos, but considering 20 Groupbuilds in only has me using about a quarter of that I think we'll be good for another decade or so. Let me know if you guys have any issues checking it out.

This is going to turn me into a full on autist.
It'd be simple to just make an American Gundam, seeing how I'm an American myself and that's what I know, but that'd be boring. At the same time, a surface level interest in my nation of choice wouldn't result in a good final product, so I'm going to need to do a lot of research about the history and culture of whatever nation I choose to use for my build.

Hey, I was wondering something if anyone can help. For Armored Core plamo, has anyone tried putting NEXT weapons on Gen 3 AC kits?

I've got a Supplice and it includes weapons from the other Aaliyah variants (which is a pretty nice bonus) and I recently ordered a couple Armored Cores to try and kitbash my AC3 Main.
Since NEXT hands look different in photos, I was wondering if I could put the Supplice rifle in the hands of pic related.
Just for curiosity at the moment since I'll have another spare rifle for it if it doesn't work.
>>
>>21578561
Yup. They're compatible. All weapons across al llines are, including ACVD's I believe. Definitely for the Gen 3 and Gen 4 lines, back weapons included, barring any geometry issues that would prevent them from doing otherwise.
>>
>>21578561
Just realized I forgot to mention that this rifle would be going onto the "Spare Parts AC" leftover from me building my AC3 main, if that was confusing.

dark gold is never a good replacement for yellow. metallic yellow can work, but that gold you used looks atrocious, particularly with all the other colors remaining the same. the original yellow is much more complimentary.

I use a custom mix of grey and black from forever ago for white, I think it was either before they had alternate greys or before they were commonly sold at least. Not sure how dark grey compares but I'm guessing it's gonna be the closest. Light grey is definitely too light for use with white unless you want an extremely subtle effect.

Can you thin mr color paints with tamiya thinner?

>>21578969

That's precisely it, thanks anon. I didn't realize there was different thinners for lacquers and acrylics so I just bought any bottle of Tamiya thinner.. in hindsight, it should've been obvious but I guess it's all art of the learning process.
>>21578974
Thanks, I was just about to ask if there are any thinners I should look for specifically since I got the wrong thinner like a retard.

Also, are bottles of paint that are 3 to 4 years old worth trying to use still or should I just throw them away before it fucks up my airbrush? Half of my mr color paints were hand me downs from a buddy who got out of the hobby, but he mentioned how old they are and was unsure if they're still usable.
>>
>>21578983
you can replenish old lacquer paints even if they're dried up. you should be able to just use thinner but mr hobby do sell a specific "paint replenisher" product exactly for this purpose. not entirely sure what the difference is
>>
>>21578983
You should be fine. Pick up some Mr. Leveling Thinner and just use more than you would normally have to.
>>
>>21578987
Usually hobby brands like to sell the same product under multiple different names but charge more to rip off the people who don't know any better

>>21579012
Thanks anons, I appreciate the guidance out of snapshitting.

One last question, can I salvage my bottle of paint mr color lacquer paints after pouring acrylic thinner into it? I thought I was making the genius move by attempting to thin the whole bottle at once so I can use it again without much work the next time I need that color, but then I fucked myself over by mixing it with the wrong thinner. I poured out most of the thinner (I think) since it wasn't mixing anyway, but I'm afraid of trying to thin it with the correct thinner and then fucking up my airbrush because the paint was too far gone.

>>21579435
It's annoying there was never an X-1 or X-2 package with the long rifle. Still waiting on the F90 L pack to get my hands on one. And yeah, X-2K not giving me a second shotlancer is such bullshit for all the spare parts these fuckers come with anyways. I have five million useless beam effect parts but god forbid I get the missing 4 or 5 parts to make a shotlancer....

I'm honestly surprised it only got that one HG. Granted, it's a good kit for its age--but still.

>>21579449
Having recently built the Hygogg and Z'Gok E I honestly think they're both extremely obnoxious kits in dire need of an update. Their limbs suck fucking dick. The Hygogg's legs are terrible particularly. Lot of other elements are okay but damn it deserves so much better.

Serious question. To the people who keep asking for a revive HGUC Dom, what aspects that you want Bandai to update?

>B-but ball and socket joints
Easy modification to change it to a peg joints

>B-but mug ugly hands
Big deal, just buy alternative hand for 5 bucks

I rather have an updated Dom Tropen or Rick Dom II. Bandai just need to make the mono eye movable and change the ugly hands
>>
>>21579965
are people asking for a Dom revive? As far as the og Zeon grunts go I'd prefer the gelgoog to get one first but even that isn't even in the top 10 of HGUC kits in need of a revive. Dom is fine as it is, though I wouldn't say no to a HG Origin Dom as an alternative to it.

>To the people who keep asking for a revive HGUC Dom
The "Gunpla G35 Revive Project" was a limited branding used for 5.5 kits during the Gundam 35th anniversary event. The branding was subsequently dropped for all following kits and removed from subsequent reprints of the original "Revive" kits. "Revive" isn't a denotation that was used subsequently by Bandai, and is merely terminology that was incorrectly applied by reddit to kits never released as such.

My first thought was buying this cheap ass $100 spray booth from amazon but the description says it only has an airflow of 540m3/hour.
For $100 I can get an explosion proof with 2280m3/hour and just build my own spray booth

Can't disagree with this honestly. If they don't want to put even minimal effort into making a good model kit I will not spend money on them.

i am no less a true modeller than someone who shades if i just topcoat plastic. hell even just snapchads are modellers.
>>
>>21581146
Your builds look like shit

>>21581149
Topcoated plastic always lets a small bit of light poke through. It's hard to tell on some spots but easier along the edges. The Aerial posted earlier was obviously fully painted but he either used glossy paint or finished with clear gloss making it look similar on the surface to a long snapped kit but you can also make out some grain on the surface that only colored pigment paint leaves (and not clear)

I've seen those and they never fail to make me both laugh and cringe.

Also, can someone tell me how bad of an idea it is to NOT wait a day for plastic cement to dry before sanding? I really want to get started with painting already and I'm hoping that waiting a few hours will be enough. How much would I regret it?
>>
>>21581184
a mix of mr color gx white and a bit of gx blue to make a sky blue sort of colour for the basecoat, then the main white is just mr color gx white over the top. i prefer to do my shading by 'highlighting' the main colour over a darker colour rather than preshading with black lines
>>
>>21581185
>and have done so
That was my first post disparaging anything.
It looks good from what I can see but it's not clearly "flawless" since it's poorly lit.
I don't disparage anyone, just point out facts.

Meanwhile Diaspae and Trumpeter ARE made by same company but with different brands and cut just the same, while difference in price is noticeable. And in the end, you need to level with knife anyway.
>>
>>21581209
Just waltz into hobby shop and ask for some, there is no particular reason to stick to certain brand and they vary in availability across countries anyway. In my shops you mostly get either Tamiya or Plastruct. Tamiya 3mm and up are quite bad to work with, by the way. Lately got some high impact polystyrene with 3mm thickness at another hobby shop (no brand specified) and it was much better in handling.

0.5, 1 and 1.5mm are basics but it really depend on what you want to do with it. Also get some metal ruler and knife (ideally "scriber knife") for cutting (you cut it like you would cut glass - slide blade on surface up to half or 1/3 deep and break). Watch out for fingers.

lore answer is muh space for more minovsky particles and then when F91 comes around technology had advanced enough where they could make smaller units but same/more power.

Real answer is jap recession happened so less plastic and so smaller kits.
>>
>>21582036
It's better than a belt sander
>>
>>21582046
It's also just an interesting idea for tech to end up progressing like that along a long enough timescale. I really like the idea of everyone making a push for more compact and agile mobile suits as an 'out' to the size arms race.
>>
>>21582046
>Real answer is jap recession happened so less plastic and so smaller kits.
Not true, the bubble economy was still going when F91 came out.
>>
>>21582055
I can appreciate something like the Xi because it kinda looks like a Nighthawk or a stealth jet, but for me, the Penelope or the Nightingale is when it gets ridiculous.
>>
>>21582055
Things tend to increase in size over time regardless with a few moments where tech can shrink things down before you make things bigger again. Look at tanks or planes. They're all massive.

One day UC will be full of massive suits once more. It's only a matter of time before the post G Savior timeline brings us Gundam being larger than the Psycho Gundam being the norm.
>>
>>21582046
>Real answer is jap recession happened so less plastic and so smaller kits.
I think it was more a push to keep the lines in one scale. By CCA most of the kits were only 1/144 with only the Nu getting a 1/100
I think f90/f91 was made smaller to let the line be a unified 1/100 while still coming out a similar size to 1/144 sized cca suits with the f91 getting another 1/60 kit to match the size of the 1/100 Nu

The economy wasn't doing horrible until post 0083 with, with I think the f91 variation toy line being a way of squeezing some cash out of already made molds
The quality of the art with f91 and 0083 show how good the money was right before a crash and rice/housing shortages. Victory hides it's woes with some damn incredible animation though
>>
>>21582055
I think if beam shields were invented earlier the size down might not have happened as quickly, as people realized that for all the armor you stack on a mobile suit beams will still tear them to shreds, so making something fast, agile, and small produces better results than bulky sitting targets, like capital ships tend to be. I-field generators were used to aid armored units, but really only mobile armors could field them effectively. Bu if beam shields were introduced earlier they could be used to supplant armor and increase survivability against beam weapons, so there wouldn't be a need for increased agility just yet.
>>
>>21581187
A day is maximum overkill. give it a hr or 2, if that. No regerts

>>21582076
They just need to invent IBO style beam coating. Shit deflected a mobile armor laser no problem. This would eliminate beamspam shit and bring back more conventional weapons as well as more armored suits.
>>
>has Gunpla kits out the eyeballs

>>21582121
There is anti-beam coating already, the gold armor of the Hyaku-Shiki and Delta Gundam are coated in it. It just doesn't work as well as in IBO. More than anything else, beam rifles changed the way of war in the Universal Century.
>>
>>21582126
>Hyaku-Shiki and Delta Gundam are coated in it.
*shoots a beam at the joints*
>>
>>21582135
Which is exactly why anti-beam coating really didn't catch on, while increased maneuverability eventually did.

I'm discounting all the tech created to support Newtypes because that got mothballed after Narrative, when the Federation realized that creating weapons that can turn any Newtype/Cyber-Newtype pilot into a force of mass destruction is a terrible idea, and did their best to cover up the existence of Newtypes altogether.
