[@chasinthroughthedecade]

As for me, there are two other things I do: 1. take inspirations from the shows I watch (usually tokusatsu and other anime series); and/or 2. act out the desired pose myself; best if you have a mirror in front of you (well, it obviously only applies to ground poses)

[@muhammadhazwan7356]

or take a picture of yourself making the pose. mush easier to refer back instead of posing in front of a mirror multiple times... just my 2 cents

[@GuntPulp]

I've always found every kit has a way of letting you know what looks good from kit to kit. Some look good with the standard poses you see where as others don't lend themselves to the same pose. After posing gunpla enough you start to "feel" out what's natural looking.. I rarely use reference photos anymore. Great vid

[@QuadMachine09]

2:31 JOOOOOOOOOOOJOOO! What I noticed that made me realize that's what it was was the middle one doing Josuke's pose then I went back and looked to see all 3 doing poses. Great job.

[@mantic5423]

I also notice if you try to do the pose your self, you can figure out whats missing from it to make it looks more natural

[@MechaGaikotsu]

*cuts to my wife waking in on me doing Gundam poses in my underwear

[@AhoyImHarker]

Personally, I find that having an artist's wooden model around really helps for generating ideas. Also sometimes making the general pose yourself (dumb as it sounds) helps get a feel for where each limb is in relation to the others.

[@ahmedjagirdar2773]

I always do the poses myself most of the times and then pose my figures lol

You're like one of those who'll literally call a pile of dogshit "beautiful" just for the sake of virtue signalling or the oje who'll call a blank piece of paper an "expensive" art because of " deep interpretation." He's talking about how to properly pose a Gundam so it looks realistic and not awkward. If you would like to, make your Gunplas lie down because why not. Art is not just about "breaking boundaries, " part of it is aesthetics and aesthetics are purely objective.

[@kevin850406]

Another thing when taking photos for your gunpla that matters, is to find an angle, or to arrange the pose to the point that the silhouette of limbs don't overlap with the body's, which decreases the dynamic feeling of your photos heavily in most case.

I had too much fun watching Mecha posing all these mecha. Posing seems like such a basic thing but I learned a lot of good tips from here!

[@BNuts]

My go-to pose for the Fenice type of gundam is to have it aim the rifle straight out from the side underneath the beam cloak. I also like to position the leading wing spread and out to the side, with the other wing more folded at the side.

[@DJ_Kuroto]

My go-to pose is a mix between the gunpla standing special and like.. a buildup to some martial arts move or a Rider Kick. Helps that I've got some Kamen Rider kits to work with.

And yes, I realized all my Gunpla in aerial poses have one bent knee.. it just feels more natural that way, even though the Wing is the one I usually place in more specific poses.. because.. Too much sauce in this Gunpla.

[@xaviarderoche6355]

Finally got around to building a custom I had in mind. Thanks for the posing help

[@premiumsockets]

tip for the dynames: when you're doing a sniper position like that, disconnect the rifle from the peg in the arm to get the elbow out to an actual shooting position. it looks more realistic and gets the scope closer to the head. general tip: i've found that when a pose looks kinda weird and unnatural, looking at pictures of people doing similar things or even acting it out yourself gives you a really good feel for what should be where.

[@gryoz1323]

Thanks for the help, I'm panel lining my RG Build Strike and wanted to see some dynamic poses for later, not realising you would use the same kit I have.

[@binkus.bonkus.2737]

Apart from bracing, most of time if you 'split' the gunplay down the middle, one leg goes forward on one side and the arm goes back and the opposite on the others side.

[@AyBee9725]

Funnily enough... this video and the 5 tips in particular applies well to drawing Gundam MS as well. I tried sketching my own original MS inspired by the HiRM Astray Red Frame, but the pose I put it in looks too stiff, even with the S-shape of the body.

[@seanchoy236]

I wonder what the Dantalion is looking at to make him lean in like that.

[@cissuperdroid]

A very nice video! I much prefer this to Badgunpla's because his video is too specific with its example. Many kits do not have the articulation range of the Astray, and even then many do not have swords to pose with in the first place. That dynamic katana pose was an extreme that doesn't help much with rifle posing or general action/movement poses. This video, while longer, is more comprehensive and has a wider variety of poses included. I guess I should count myself lucky for having posing come naturally to me, but that's mostly because I have had a long history with action figure collecting before I got into Gunpla. I know many newcomers to Gunpla probably don't have the same experience, so getting natural and/or dynamic poses takes more thought beyond copying a still from the anime.

[@neko_knockout]

It's easy to pose them...but preventing pieces from falling off is the difficult part for me.

[@AlexanderVanDamme]

Same here. I got an (older?) Version of wing zero EW and he cant grip the gun. It always slips trough the Fingers 🙄

[@treemannick2969]

A simple way that I like to pose my kits is to stand up and make the pose I had imagined, then replicate it in gunpla form

[@cidrueda4165]
