-=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:

Thinking of getting either HG YF-19 or 21. Has anyone built them, what do you think of them? I'm also wondering if its possible to paint it without sanding or masking every joint or connecting part and not get all your paint destroyed after the first transformation.

Does pre-thinning paint actually affect them if they aren't used up within a few months? I've heard some modelers say the paint will get ruined if it sits too long so only pre-thin things you'll use a lot, such as white/black/primer/top coat/etc.

>Get into gunpla because it's cool to build mechs even though I've never actually seen any of the Gundam anime
>The noticable majority of MG and especially RG kits are variations of the same general designI'm sure the differences are important to some people, but as an incredibly casual fan, are chinese kits my only hope for some variety? I have no need to own multiple of pic related.

are bootleg RGs a scam? I just can't imagine third parties recreating this kind of engineering precision and fixing that sounds way worse than on a HG or even MG
A
Anon07/20/26, 22:28No.23948733
how do you loosen up joints on a kit that hasn't been moved in a couple months or years? the creaking is rather terrifying. I've heard it's from dust accumulating inside them and a little wash can fix it, would pressurized air work too?

working on the GX HG. Any idea on what those purple parts on the legs, arms and shoulder are? I often see them glow in official art like the MG box art and the old hg.

Why does Bandai's site not work anymore? 99 times out of 100, you're going to get an error 500 no matter where you try to navigate and it's been like this for months.
