This is the best Barbatos I've seen. So many are super clean and pristine, but the weathering done to this one conveys so much intensity. Really well done.
I freaking LOVE Barbatos. He is my absolute favorite Gundam design, and the MG was actually my first model kit (although my profile is actually my second one because the first one was more of a failure than anything else) I truly love model kits, and I wish I could achieve something like this. In another sense, amazing job!
That looks freaking amazing man! Ooo you got me wanting to try something like this. I’ll probably mess up a few HG kits before it’s looks half as good as your MG custom.
So inspirational! I just got into this hobby and I am new to model kits in general. Just finished an HG kit, now moving onto another HG kit and then just bought this exact kit. Mine will come no where near what you have done but very excited to start.
I'm also new and bought this exact kit, there's a chance to get a resin conversion kit (basically another armor kit aside from the stock one) to paint, which ill try to buy to do my first custom. Might be worth looking into if you're looking to paint!
This was awesome! I have never done a custom build, the thought of doing one give me terrible anxiety. I don't know if I could ever pull off something like this
You painted some parts with Acryllic Paint, and after pannel lining you cleaned with Enamel Thinner. Shouldn't the thinner reactivate the acryllic paint? Great video btw.
very nice end product; i'm also getting back into model making and Gundam models currently have my interest; now, that i have the means - i went all in to also include airbrushing
i was looking for what im gonna do with my barbatos and came across this video, looks soo cool!! thats amazing! btw can i ask, when you applied that black paint and wipe it out, did you use any thinner or paint remover? or you just wipe it out with cloth? i need your advicee thannk youuu so much!
Fantastic video end result is amazing. I am getting back into model making after a 25 year break, currently not having setup for airbrush, your techniques are a perfect way of having good results with just a brush and a bit of imagination. Quick question, regarding the Tamiya panel line accent you use, back in the day these were not availavble and I used to water down Tamiya paints of the time, how do you find these compare to watered down paint, thanks.
4:39 4:35 how did you achieve the brushed/scratched metal look here? I'm in the process of doing my first custom gunpla and have been trying to find an learn new techniques
Love your work bro. Can u share with me what is the black thingy that u spread all over the part and then wipe it..i want to do like that..heheh can u share
Great work. But this is really strange:an italian youtuber,phyton coffee,used THE SAME (wonderful) MUSIC you used at the end of the video for a review of the mg barbatos about one year ago.
It was intended to be a video for beginners and those who wanted to start customizing model kits, so I tried to use easy techniques. I think water decals are too complicated for beginners to apply 🙂
@@CaimArt I see honestly they seem intimidating at first but I did them with the first ever kit I built the trick is rounded tweezers to hold the decal and a tooth pick to slide it onto whatever surface dip the decal in lukewarm water for 3 seconds wait a couple more then slide into place lightly dab and then slap some tamiya mark fit strong my first kit came out great and I used g-rework water decals which are beautiful but notorious for ripping the main problem is people soak them in the water too long but that's awesome your showing these skills you are really talented may I ask what that black goo that you put on and then wiped off was?
@@CaimArt may I ask what it does was it to make it look grungy? what's the technique I've never heard of oil paint or it being used on kits...sorry im trying to learn painting my kits and theres so much to it its intimidating
@@joshuawiseman5629 It is a technique that is rarely used because the drying time of oil paints is very long, do as in the video and the effect will come out on its own. 😉
I honestly would love to have ANYBODY teach me how to properly paint my gunpla at this point I tried ONCE on a 1/144 scale Barbatos I got but I only managed to make it look like an Italian version of the Gundam due to the Warhammer paints I still retained from working at a figurine shop. It was my 2nd time ever hand painting a figure from scratch so it only turned out Okay fair..nothing even remotely W0W level...I was happy but not ecstatic with the outcome to be honest..I still have a my 00 diver which isn't even assembled yet for the sole reason I wanted to paint it Black with neon violet or gold accents but simply lack the skill to do so..
Bè io sono italiano quindi il tuo gunpla versione italiana sarà sicuramente bellissimo 😁,I learned through RU-vid tutorials, all it takes is a little practice and you can get excellent results!
@@CaimArt I'll be honest it wasn't intentional that the Barb. turned out looking like a Gundam Italian Flag to be frank, It's just the only paints I had lefts were White, Green, and Red, I Used the silver and gold gundam markers to color the crest, and internal joints to make them PoP and make the Green and Red stand out more against the Black spacing and white armor. Thus the result. I also used the silver marker as trim on the mace, and gun with the gold on the scope. I used Red on the big crystals and green on the tiny ones to add better symmetry to the design than I ran out of red and had to finish up with varying shades of green and white mixed for shadowing which felt a bit off but still worked... I give it a 6.8/10 at most.. I've seen what an 20/10 looks like and I'm nowhere near that level.
