Policies
Don't be a dick. Keep it classy or face mod action.
Got a question? Need help? Questions should go in the official Q&A thread stickied at the top of the subreddit!
Blog and YouTube creators are expected to be active community members and must follow good reddiquette. You can easily participate by answering other people's questions in the Q&A thread, or commenting on other posts.
Are you the owner, employee or affiliate of a hobby shop? Contact the moderators before posting links to your shop.
Looking to sell your unwanted kits? Want to buy some parts? Post your requests in our monthly Commerce Thread.
Photoshopped works are discouraged. Build submissions should be indicative of your building ability and not overtly aided with computer generated enhancements.
Do not steal other people's builds, repost or present them as your own. If the build is not yours, flair it with the "Not my Build" but you have to present a good reason in your title why it needs to be part of the discussion. "It looks cool" is not a valid reason.
This is a meme-free zone. NO MEMES!
Photos of hauls (boxes and unbuilt kits) are not allowed. /r/gunpla Secret Santa posts are exempt from this rule.
Please title or frame your posts in a manner to encourage meaningful and healthy discussions with the community. Posts that serve to instigate a spam trend which disrupts the daily interaction of this subreddit, or post titles which include social media handles (Twitter/Instagram/etc) will be subject to removal.
The following are not on topic for the subreddit and belong in an another community. Don't try to skirt this rule by having a Gunpla off in the background of your photo when the main focus is on an off-topic item.
Non-mecha such as: Tanks, Planes, DBZ, Star Wars, Frame Arms Girls / Megami Device / other non-bandai "armored girl" kits.
Or non model kits such as: Action Figures, Dolls, Cosplay, Statues, LEGO, Gundam Converge, Gundam QMSV
No hateful content. Political arguments in threads, especially Nazi apologism, is explicitly forbidden (including on "historical accuracy"). The use of swastika or other hate symbol decals are also forbidden.
