Yeah its a great kit to Customize , would like to do another kit with a lot more modification at some stage just finding the time is the difficult part :)
You should buy the EZ Cutting mat for masking. It has laser etched grooves making it super easy to slice and dice your masking tape. I've been using it for a month now and it has sped up my masking 20 fold. Now I can't live without them. They are sold at newtype.
thanks yeah seen some of these cutting mats with laser etched grooved . Unfortunately I'm in Australia so don't use Newtype , but have seen Dspaie and some other Japanese sellers are selling similar products now which may look at investing in one
Great work dude! Love the base. That ASMR is hella intense at the start though hahaha, also bring the backing track down a little. Great video though, the colour combo still astounds me! Awesome.
Thanks mate , yeah kind of rushed the edit with this video due to no time with work and been up in Karratha lol . Yeah didn't get around to editing the levels or taking more videos of the finished product . Still happy with the base build for a simple 1.5 day build .
Cheers Leo , :) was just a simple 1.5 days build for a comp to enter the Messer into . Will need to do a more complex build and cut like the one you were working on some time
Hi these ones were sent to me from Dspiae , pending what country you are in there are several shops that sell them . if in USA I believe USA Gundam Store , newtype , if in Australia/New Zealand thehobbydrop sells them otherwise they are also available from Dspiae store on Alix express . They come in two different packages on with grits with one from 180 to 800 then other one from 1000 to 2500
Thanks Jason , All the colors used were custom mixed sorry didn't write down the recipe but the base color I started form was Gaia Notes AT-09 Blue Fog its from the Votom series I then add a little violet to it to tint it to purple side a bit . For the darker blues was a midnight blue from SMS I think with some grey and purple added to it cant remember which brands i used sorry
Thanks Mate , took a lot longer to finish then originally planned for a simple clean build lol . Still working on improving video quality and editing , hopefully do some voice overs in future videos . Got the base video coming out soon as well , lot different base then originally planned as had to knock something up in like 1.5 days for a comp
Yes aware there are smaller scales but they are basically just one piece of plastic with no pieces you put together so the definition of calling them gunpla or this (as it is Gundam artifact) are all in the grey areas . The title was primarily for the RU-vid algorithm
Oh wow. I just got my 1st 2 Gundam models last Friday. I broke a couple pieces on 1 of them because I didn't have snipers & I didn't even think about cutting higher on the sprues when I got wire cutters out. That would have been sooo much easier. Wish I had seen your video 1st & I'm only a minute & 22 seconds in. I've also gotta ask, I see you cutting everything out & them assembling. I'd get lost not getting them out by following directions. Do you do it by the design of the part or just know what's what by experience?
Congrats on your first couple of Gundam models , what u get ? sorry to broke some parts already . Yes pays to cut the parts off the runners first higher up away from the part then go back and cut them closer to the part later on this will make it easier not to cut into parts or break expensive plastic nippers . Ha ha yeah as I customize a lot of my gunpla I cut everything out first then assemble it all to fix up any seam lines etc . With experience it becomes easer to know where parts go but if you have a hard time doing this you can divide the kit into parts like left arm , right arm , left leg , right leg , torso etc and put them in separate containers to paint that way will make it easier to assemble later one
@@Gunplaworkz Thanks for the suggestions, especially the separate containers. I will keep that in mind. Being new, I never saw anything beyond the models. I don't know it there's an anime or manga about them. I just got the ones that looked good to me in Hobby Lobby. LOL I got #024 MS-06S ZAKU II (Red Comet Ver.) & #130 RGM-96X JESTA. I broke Jesta, a side piece on the front inside left leg cover & the right piece that covers the tops of both legs. I started to make it "battle damaged," but not being familiar with the models, it looked ok. I figure it's no issue to learn on my 1st time that it's okay to break stuff. It can be fixed. LOL Might as well get that out of the way. Seeing how you cut the pieces out would have helped with both pieces I broke. I know & have experience there now.
@@jewabeus Nice choices on kits for your first Gunpla . Yes there is an Anime and Manga the anime started back in 1979 . There is also a live action movie coming out with Netflix soon . Not to worry we all break parts when we first start :) . Good idea on the battle damage . Good luck on your future builds the hobby can become addictive
@@Gunplaworkz Thanks. I like them a lot. Thanks for the heads up on the Netflix movie coming. I will definitely watch it if at all possible. Thanks for the info on the anime & manga as well. I'll see what I can find of them too. Yeah, I was devastated for a few minutes & then, it was "okay." I figured I'd mess them up when I started trying to paint them too. LOL I told my wife I need more...soon. LOL
Sorry for the late reply had not logged in for while , yes you are supposed to put the shinny side up . Used the wet pallet on my latest build the little EX-S Gundam which just uploaded . Works very well a lot better then my home made one and costs about the same as my home made one . Paints last a lot longer and dont get water logged with it compared to my home made one the only draw back I have with it wish was a bit bigger for mixing paints
Yeah agree , is well worth the price . Works a lot better then my homemade one paints last longer with out getting water logged and works out about the same cost if you buy the parts to make a home made one . only negative I have on it is the size wish was a bit bigger
Sorry for the late reply , had not logged into RU-vid for a while . I love it well worth the price . Keeps my paints for longer with out getting water logged like my home made one . The only negative I have is wish it was a bit bigger for mixing paints . You can see it in use on my latest video
Don't buy DSPIAE products, unless it's from someone you trust who has them in stock. I went through Dspiae's official site and internet store which sells through AliExpress. I created an account, and paid the sum required. The money was been taken from my card (the payment went to AliExpress Luxembourg), but I didn't receive a confirmation of my order. My Aliexpress account doesn't show the order either. So I contacted Dspiae who said "oh were so sorry, contact Aliexpress customer service." This is where the fun starts. It's a merry go round of pages that keep asking for my order number...but that's the point...there isn't one even though they've taken the money. There's an "account retrieval" service where you put in the some of the digits of your credit card and the price you paid. I tried it, and it says that my credit card has never been used on their site. My bank statement says otherwise! In short, after hours of surfing from one page to another you give up, and that's obviously what they want you to do. I should have know better than to deal with a site that has so many negative reviews, but I was trusting that Dspiae is a reputable company. How wrong that assumption was...but I hope whoever reads this won't make the same mistake.
Hi sorry for the late reply had not logged into this YT account for a while . Sorry to hear about the drama you had . I personally never used AliExpress so cant say what they are like or give any advise with handling them . Hopefully you got the bank to refund the money if you bought on credit card . There are a lot more suppliers around the world stocking Dspiae products now like USA Gundam store , New type , The hobby Drop but not to sure about shops in Luxembourg sorry .
@@Gunplaworkz Hi Gunplaworkz, I finally got sent a pair of nippers and they came directly from DSPIAE. I wrote to them a second time, and though they didn't reply, the nippers arrived some weeks later. It would seem they recognised my complaint, and decided to personally send the goods. Consequently my faith in DSPIAE as has been restored, and the nippers are great (but I never doubted this given the many positive reviews). However I still strongly advise against using AliExpress, and to buy from a store as per the ones you've suggested.
@@SergioCeccherini Hi Sergio , Good to hear you got the issue sorted . From my dealings with Dspiae they seem to be a very good company and put a lot of effort into customer relations. Yeah they are great nippers and such good value compared to others like Godhand .
Hi Dave sorry for the late reply had not logged into this YT account for a while. Watch you channel with my normal account . Yeah I would personally say its worth it if you do lots of customization , scribe work or scratch building it can hold and angle parts in various positions and with the pegs can hold onto curved parts easy . For the price here in Australia is a lot cheaper then some of the Japanese model vices (like Mr Vice and other brands ) which don't seem as well made as this .
Yes agree my only complaint with this is the size but I guess handy for people travelling . Have mentioned to Dspaie they should make an XL size one . Been using it for about 3-4 weeks now painting infinity miniature and have to say that the porous of the paper and material is spot on the paints don't get as water logged as my homemade one over time . Will hopefully do a full review video on it in a few more weeks time to give me more time testing it out
@@Gunplaworkz Yes I think and XL one would seel the deal for me! I like the idea of the seperate water resevoir on the side, so it's easy to top up if the sponge is drying out and I don't think any other company has jumped on that yet though I could be wrong! So if you have any influence get them to double the size and I'm onboard :D
Sorry for the late reply had not logged into YT for a while yes works well on nubs however I personally prefer to use the sanding sponges on the last bit of nubs .
Thanks mate sorry for the late reply had not logged into RU-vid with this account for a while work been crazy . Hope yours arrived safe and getting the use from it
