Omg thinking about building my Hanger Bay 2 years ago still gives me a headache. These plastic hanger bay parts are terrible to work with. The walls don’t really fit nice and the smaller plastic parts break easily. But the thing that still gives me nightmares is the painting of the details on those walls (fences, cables etc). That sayd it still looks awesome to this day and it’s a real eye catcher.
@@juanworkshoplatino I started with duct tape on the back. on one side cover my LEDDS, but most important to give the walls something extra to hold on too. After a month after I added some extra leds I gave up and glued them together 😋
Hi! sorry for the late response. Sure thing, you need a waterslide decal paper, I bought mine in my local hobby store, but they sell those in amazon, just search. "waterslide decal paper". They come in two models: for inkjet printer and for laser printer. Mine were for inkjet printer. The idea is that you print your decals and then apply on top some varnish, you have to test if your varnish is compatible because some water base varnish damage the ink in the decal. As for the images in the decals, i bought some decals templates in artstation marketplace for just 2 dollars (go to artstation dot com and the to marketplace and then search for "decals"), then I just arrange them in photoshop so I could print all the decals in just 1 single page, and then i cut them by hand, add some water in the back of the paper so the decal detach more easily, and then apply a little bit of water on the model and of top of that the decal :) Hope that helps! cheers!
hi Marquis! I don't have a guide :( but I can give you some tips that might be helpful. The things that you need to keep in mind are: 1) Make a parallel wiring, (you can search for: parallel circuit wiring) that way you can plug a battery that doesn't requieres a lot of energy. A 3V battery will do the job. 2)Do not use a dimmer because most of these kind of led's don't work with variable electricity. 3)check that all your led's share the same voltage, sometimes they have a slightly different voltage and if you surpass that level some led's might explode. If the led's have different voltages then you will have to add a resistor to decrease the amount of electricity that the LED is gonna receive, so my advice is to try to buy leds that share the same volts. I will put in the description box the led's that i have bought. And that's it bro, I hope this answer was helpful and gives you an idea of where to start!
Thanks bro! Sorry for the late response. It is actually a led bulb that change color with a remote control, you can find it on Amazon for around 10 bucks. I used also a black light bulb and the Ulanzi VL49 that change colors, that one is 20 bucks in AliExpress. Hope that helps!
Thank you man! I did use just one set. You can find them in aliexpress in different sets, this one is the biggest one i could find at a good price. You can search in aliexpress this: "High Quality 30 x 45 x 33cm Soldier Hand-made Base Special Forces Background Board for Mecha Model - Type I" It cost around 55 bucks + shipping.
Thank you man! it took me around three weeks, but i was working for about 1 to 3 hours a day on it. And i was recording the process at the same time, so, it's hard to know exactly the amount of time :( Thanks for the sub! I saw your channel, you have really cool stuff there! The Mg unicorn is my favourite! I have sub to your channel too :D
@@juanworkshoplatino, thanks for your reply! Your works are really good. I appreciate you checking my channel and subscribing too! I do post often, but I want to keep the channel alive. Ciao!
I bought it on aliexpress, last time I checked it was no longer available as a single set, but you can buy it as separated kits, just search in aliexpress: "gundam base hangar" and you will find most of the parts, hope that helps!
haha, yeah! nothing like make your own decals 😎! I bought it in aliexpress, however it's are sold out :( I search today the store and it no longer exist... the only one I found is more expensive. I payed 65 uds for all the hangar at the time (2019). I will update the description of the video with the link i found. cheers 🍻!
Thanks for the motivation, I have one of these sitting around. Figured it would be great to practice with.
This is dope. The ideal stuff always comes from DIY
hell yeah! Nothing like customize your own stuff 🙌!
Epic!
Awesome video
Thank you! Glad you like it :D
EPIC!!!
Amazing craftmanship! Very inspiring!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is so sick... really incredible work!
thank you man 🙌!
GOOD JOB~!!
🙌!!!
Yoooo this is amazing!! 🤩
🙌!!!
Amazing, love it @@
:D !!!
Quelle travail !! Top
Merci beaucoup!

Hahaha, I feel you bro! Those walls just doesn't stand up by themselves, you move the table and bam: walls on the floor and plastic parts everywhere!

Amazing work. Turned out really amazing! I've always been thinking of painting one myself but it looks super complicated.
Thank you man!
It's not that complicated, but it's time consuming, still, i had a lot of fun painting it :D
I love it
🙌!!!
Its criminal how short this vid is. I could spend way longer just looking at this final form
Dude this is awesome great work!🔥
Thank you bro! Glad you liked it :D!
What is the value of the resistor you use? and how much power is used
hey, may i know how did you do the custom decal printing and such? any steps that you could share and what i would require?

That squid game moment 😂 hahahaha
This looks dope bro! Which light bar is that on your thumbnail? Does it change colour?
Thanks bro! Sorry for the late response.

awesome set man.. how many MG can it fit for this? just wondering?
thank you man! I think maximum 4 master grades :D
Wow! Impressive work! How long did it take to finish this awesome project? I subscribed.

how to buy this base bro?

did we just watch this guy make his own decals?!?!?!?
ohh and where did you get the hangar???
haha, yeah! nothing like make your own decals 😎!
