I like how you casually drop so much knowledge in your voice overs. That's some really good results in this short amount of time. Shows that you know your craft. Good luck with the move bro!
Your style is really elegant and creates beautiful outcomes while also being very straightforward. It reminds me of Bunker Pla’s stylish technique videos. This kit came out great, very clean
I really dig your style of painting. It never would have occurred to me to shade the kits that way. It had become pretty much second nature to me to either black base and highlight or to preshade with a darker color and then base coat. Nicely done! Great job on the video as well. Your breakdown and workflow is helpful in showing what you’re doing and how you achieved the results.
Preshading is good too if you want that high contrast, I’m just going for a more subtle look. Preshading tends to kill the vibrancy of colors since you are introducing black into colors, but it’s great if you weather. Different techniques for different goals!
Surprise video, nice! I'm glad you got a fun, easy build after the Rising Freedom. The advice about sandpaper/sponge rigidity and re-scribing were actually things that I learned experimentally recently, so it was nice to see my thoughts confirmed here. The kit looks great, as always, definitely more vibrant and visually interesting than the stock colors (and I'm always a sucker for barrel/thruster burn). If there's one thing I could note it's that the BGM is a bit loud, most notably in the painting section IMO. But as always, thanks for the video! and good luck with the rest of the move.
Oh, let's go! I thought you have your hands full with the potential Immortal Justice and Force Impulse/Gouf. So I didn't expect any WfM builds from you for some time. But at this point I really want to see what you can do with the Calibarn or Gundvolva. (I will be glad with any WfM build tho) P. S. is that some shade of metallic red or is it a copper color for the shell unit? It looked so good without the clear part! I always forget they are a little bit smoky, not perfectly clear.
@@comradegunpla yeah, I was referring to the moment around 13:29, when it wasn't covered with clear part yet. Maybe it's just lighting, but it looks hella good. You didn't mention it in the video, but I guess all the permet system elements glow under the UV light? Same as all your previous WfM builds?
@@back_dash this one actually doesn't 😥I wanted the permet marks to look metallic since they are so large, which requires me to use clear red instead of a fluorescent red. I'm getting some fluorescent clear paints shipping in from China, so hopefully I can fix this to have it glow like all my other ones in the future.
@@comradegunpla oh no. hope it can be fixed. Any plans for the brown chicken by any chance? Since you already have Ur, and 3 main boys completed. I can kinda see some sense in completing 2 girls too. Can't believe I'm saying it, but even Thorn's design grew on me over time. Then again, I will be happy with any build from you, king. Do what you like and thanks for the nice vid!
Yes, and I just use a $100 spray booth I got from Amazon. I did build a booth for about $50 once for a video, it was a functional booth but it could have been better, so I want to build another one after I finish moving for a better tutorial.
This kit look like an Armored Core model, have you ever built one ? They got restocked recently, and while they aren't that well design, at the very least they're absolutely beautiful and they have some very odd design that is very lacking when it comes to Gundam, X-Sombrero and TYPE-LAHIRE comes to mind especially, but even the Armored Core V stuff is so unique. Beautiful kit as always, and it's very impressive what you can do with so little time, I can't believe you're not more popular, because the work is top notch
I've seen them, but tbh I just kind of dislike Kotobukiya kits and want to avoid them as much as possible, unless it's an IP I really like. Bandai announced Armored Core kits a while ago, so once those come in stock I might pick a few up.
For this one, I didn't add any panel lines, only went over the existing corners, for that you'd want something thin, either a round needle type or around 1mm. If you want to actually scribe new lines, for HGs I would suggest 1.5mm for normal lines, 3mm for thick line variations. For MGs I would have 2mm and 4mm. Maybe just start with something from 1~1.5mm and see how much you like it.

That was awesome. Love the paint job!

Excellent work comrade

another banger informative video from commie gunpla
That gatling gun looks sick!! 😱

noted, will decrease the volume more next time
@@comradegunplaYeah, I think your audio ducking just needs to be a bit stronger
I don’t know if I can focus that well to finish a kit that quick. Lol. Excellent results man. Love the burnt titanium. Shading was excellent as well.👌
I wish they did more stocky designs, good video
🤩
One hour to snap build?! I need to get on your level. Just started building this year.
No primer?! 😮 lol turned out gorgeous, the heat tempering effect on the gun is perfect.
There is primer lmao, I just don't film that step. Check out the part at 11:35, I'm painting on grey primer.
Ooooooo 😂

oh, the clear part is on it. It's just metallic red underneath and the smoky clear part turns it a little darker, I guess

THIS IS FUCKIN LIT!! LOVED THE BURNT TITANIUM. Also wondering if you considered going permet overload? (purple)
Kind of forgot that was even a thing, lmao. Maybe!
Do you use laquer paints? If yes, how do you ventilate your spray booth?

What size chisel do you use for scribing? I went to buy one but there’s a bunch of different sizes so I didn’t know which one to get
