-=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.

Moved recently and want to get back into building, but I've got no idea how to handle my painting setup now. I'm a lacquerfag so I definitely don't want to do it indoors. In an apartment complex now and have a nice little patio area with an outlet so I could probably get a table and work there, but that's still outdoors and it's frequently rainy (not to mention humid) here.Would I be able to get a collapsible fan hood or something similar? So I can have ventilation and not get griefed by the wind blowing pollen and shit on my wet paint? Never had an outdoors setup so I'm not sure what needs to be taken into account.

1st time trying out Gaia Notes Star Bright Silver for candy base. very similar to MrHobby's Super Chrome Silver 2, but a little bit less shiny and more flakes. both have high consumption rate when sprayed, but SBS has more volumes overall. 15ml paint + 45ml thinner since the paint is very thick. I personally like Chrome more, but SBS is more cost-efficient.

What are some of the bootleg/ 3rd party groups that did MGEX versions of the Unicorn, Phenex, Banshee, Norn, and Perfectibility? If I’m going to get any of the unicorns I’ll go with those since the MGEX inner frame is supposedly the best version, and Bandai keeps good things locked away and forgotten.
