It is funny to me to hear the different things we find scary or daunting to try. I jumped into air brushing almost as soon as I got into the hobby. I knew it was hard, but I always thought of it as "just paint" nothing permanent. In my case, modifying kits with Pla plate and making custom things like that has always been too scary to try because "what if I wreck my model"? Thank you for providing some perspective, and for mushing me towards feeling ok with trying potentially destructive things in the name of having fun and learning in the hobby!
and the links? :(
6:50 *hust* nicht ganz richtig bzw vollständig *hust* Sorry, noch ne kleine Korrektur meinerseits. Das „kann“ man so machen, ist dann aber Scheiße. Ne Batterie (auch bei Akku) hat ‚nie‘ genau die angegebene Spannung. Bessere Batterien haben 1,6 V - 1,7 V bei voller Ladung und ab da gehts dann runter bis 0,5 V - 1 V (musste die Zahlen selbst googeln, hab die auch nicht im Kopf). Schlechter fangen bei 1,5 V an. Heißt, selbst wenn deine ‚3 V‘ LED selbige Spannung aushalten würde. Wärst bei 2 x 1,6 V (im Mittel) drüber für ne Weile drüber. Plakativ könnte man jetzt sagen du schließt 0,2V kurz. Problematisch ist aber nicht die Nennspannung der LED, sondern der Strom und damit einhergehende Erwärmung. Ein Vorwiderstand regelt das für dich, die LED hält damit länger und du hast mehr Spaß an deinem Gebasteltem. Nachteil, es fällt daran ne Spannung ab und insofern hört das Modell wegen zu wenig Spannung in den Batterien schneller auf mit Leuchten. Was du tun könntest wäre ein Potentiometer einbauen und mit abnehmender Leistung der Batterie den Widerstand langsam runterregeln. Dann ist deine Schaltung anfangs gegen Stromspitzen geschützt und du kannst die Batterie länger betreiben. Ohne die Datenblätter gelesen zu haben, bei angenommenen 3,2V Batterie; 3V LED; 20mA LED-Strom sind wir bei 10 Ω Bei reichelt gibts ab 0,30€ n passendes Poti. Ab 0,35€ kannst beim PT 6-L 250 Einstellpotentiometer, liegend, 250 Ohm für 0,21€ ne passende Steckachse dazu holen. Ist wirklich nicht böse gemeint, aber 30 - 56 Cent für mehr Haltbarkeit investieren is net grad die Welt find ich. Kann und darf aber jeder machen wie er mag.
Sweet desk setup 🤌🏻🤌🏻 just keep em coming bro ❤ the RG NU is the perfect kit to start this new chapter 😸🫰🏻
4:40 Wenn du das tatsächlich öfters machst eignet sich ein Abisolierwerkzeug bspw von Knippex besser. Litze kann sonst beim Abisolieren brechen bzw angeschnitten werden und wenn du Bewegung drauf gibst langsam brechen. -> tut dann oft nicht mehr; umgangssprachlich Wackler Draht ist nur bei wenig Bewegung zu Empfehlen. Da hier viel biegen zum selben Problem führen kann. Verzeiht abisolieren mit Messer aber „eher“ da der Draht logischerweise Dicker ist. Das ist nicht als Kritik gemeint im Sinne von „das macht man nicht“, sondern eher ein gut gemeinter Rat. Fehlversuche ist bei Wacklern ultra ätzend (rede leidgeplagt von Erfahrung) und kann zumindest an der Stelle vermindert werden.
whats the name /brand of the portable compressor/airbrush? and would you recommend it for small/minor paint jobs?
Not just a great tutorial but the encouragement is what hits me most. Those are exactly the words i need to hear.
I'm here because I want to gift myself with gundam, the gundam i'm going to buy is the 1st gundam of my entire life.
Epic!!!!
Wondering what toolbox you have there?
As far as the red plastic absorbing through the grey primer. This happened to me also. I found that putting two to three coats of primer resolves this problem.
hello there I love your work and I'd really love to know what type of materials do I use and do I apply the hot glue on the styrofoam?
I thought the one you said you didn’t think you did a good job on looked great 😂
Got one similar to this from Amazon. Did not work at all regardless of how much I thinned the paint-until I swapped the airbrush with Iwata Neo. Magical setup. Sprays beautifully at 50/50 ratio. Cleans up like a champ. Bye bye compressors.
This guy should have more credit on UA-cam
Mine was god awful. Even received a post card from Amazon asking to give a 5 star review and not mention the received offer for 20$ credit. Didn’t do that. It was terrible.
A bit late but uhmm did you top coat yours?
Love the desk man! I almost bought that same gunpla the other day! I ended up getting a MG rx-78-2 v3 excited to see your next video I'm new at this myself but I'm getting very into it. This will be my 4th
That 1 to 1.5 ratio SAVED MY LIFE!! Thank you
Man I love the customization especially the fluorescent lights. I just wish it was capture cleaner the off light video shows a lot of noise. overall great diorama.!!
I’m starting my first few dramosa and trying to find pink xpf foam what paint and what brush should I use for that material
Did you prime it?
hey, just to point out, the street lamps were white, and I was yelling at the computer "the street lamps are white!". But, great job, it looks great.
Loved the whole video. 🙏🏽♥️
Bud, your videos are giving me soooooo knowledge!! Very much appreciated!
Interesting. I usually leave a small portion of the strands you used for the tree's roots just pointing down to have a sort of anchor to ram into the base plate and then bend around to lock it in.
Technically , you kill it since gray means it's been turned off
I’m lucky I found your channel and I’m loving the content so far. What camera do you use to get such crisp close ups?
May I ask what's the brand of the portable airbrush? And is it durable? Thank you
hey man just wanted to say I love your content!
Nice setup, you just satisfied my OCD with that console drawer 😂
Haha yes, IKR! It looks so organzied, I love it 😁
Love how it came out! If you don't mind, may I ask what paints you used? I'm trying to get the candy-coat effect like you did, but I don't know which paints to use. I can never find a metallic that is as glossy and smooth as that :(
If you pause the video at the right moments, you can see which colors I used. I gotta say though, that the gloss effect that I got here is far from perfect and that I haven't found the perfect method yet. I basically just used Mr. Color metallic colors. Some day I will put more effort into finding a good method and then there will be a new video about it :)
@GiantRobolove thank you much! I've never heard of the Mr. Color line (then again I likely can't afford it >->). I don't omline shop so that's probably holding me back a bit. Ty much! :)❤
How did you paint the back part? Is it just all dark shading?
I basically used the same method that I used for the front and at times I just winged it. So it's not 100% accurate 😅
Nice work bro. Respect. ❤
Thanks my friend!
do you use gloss or semi gloss for the coat?
If I remember correctly, for this one I used flat Top Coat.
Im about to start a command wolf and this really helped gonna be my first battale damage build. Thank you.
Nice! I hope things are going well :)
He is a painter, builder, mechanic, engineer, electrician, terraformer, cutiepie....WHAT IS THIS MAN NOT CAPABLE TO DO???!!!
Haha, danke 😄
Quick question, what light was it that you used on the pegboard? Thanks!
That's a very very old LED tube. Yongnuo YN360.
ok i try this lil airbrush too the result looks amazing
Haha yeah, how is it working for you?
awesome :3
Thanks!
What the sigma?!
I love your transformation of this kit. Well done. Some time ago you mentioned possibly doing a video all about different paints and thinners and how to layer them. I'd really love a video like that from you, simply sharing your experience over the years of trial and error. I feel like in theory this is a simple topic but some how it gets so complicated, maybe it's because you could ruin a kit or perhaps it's simple a case of decision fatigue as you weight all the options and opinions. You have a good clear and engaging teaching style and I'd love to see you tackle this sometime.
Thanks for that request. I will keep that in mind and put that on my to do list :) I think this type of content is often being asked for, for the very reasons you mentioned. Keep an eye for that. Maybe not the next ones, but eventually I will make a video like that :)
WOW! best one yet, you must be so proud when you look at that model in your home!
I love this one too, simply because it stands out from the crowd :)
Trial and error that is all you can do. You think something might work and you find out it doesn't so you go back to the drawing board. I am glad you left this in to show that all of these people on here are not perfect when they build. They make mistakes.
Thanks for noticing. With editing there is so much that one can do to hide imperfections. But I'm of the opinion that showing the process in itself is the most valuable way to learn.
