I enjoyed the video. Thank you for always creating wonderful works.
Thank you very much!
Great review! Btw, what are the sizes of chisels should you get for HG and MG kits?
Thanks! The top 5 I mentioned is perfect for both MG & HG kits :)
i might have to sub now just to suupport my people 😆
Amazing review. I was going to send you a PM about scribers and I saw this video. Answered all my questions. Being rust proof and low maintenance is absolutely crucial. Thank you for sharing this. Once again you saved us.
You’re very welcome! 😁
These will be perfect for my armor scratchbuilding 😀
Yes!
Uhmmmm??? Ummmmmm…
Yeah?
nico is back 😮🎉 🚀
Yay! 😁
@@NicoSuratos awesome, hopefully in the future you can show us how to use sab zero chisel as well
Sure! I'm planning to drop a series of tutorials all about scribing soon-ish :)
❤
Ive been buying these chisels and have the .15mm to 1.5mm. One of the best chisels available. Also those zero chisels Ive been on the fence for these and thank you for the review
Good choice! They are really amazing. 😊
Hi, can you make a video on what equipments are needed in air brushing? I've been watching your videos about customizing. Sige na po. 🥹😁
You're the main reason I got the 0.125, 0.15 and 0.2, arrived 3 days ago. Got a few others before that (Kaizo, Mr Hobby, Hobbytown) and the difference is night and day!
I’m glad to hear you like them!
salamat po dito, dami ko natutunan quality content <3
Thank you for watching po!
Scribing is probably the modelling skill I want to improve on the most. After about 2 years, I'm still not very good at it. I have been using cheap, generic scribers and they are prone to slipping and producing uneven lines. Maybe I will buy just one of these to see if there is a difference. If I had to choose just one for carving basic panel lines, would the .2mm be the best choice?
If you mostly build 1/100 scale kits then yes 0.2 is what you want. For 1/144, it would be 0.15
@@NicoSuratos The .125mm is taking the (small) world of big scribers by storm. It's really weird.
Big night and day, SAB may have taken inspiration from BMC, even the name stands pretty similar. (BMC - Sujibori do, SAB - Samawangu). I stand by it as well for using them for 3 years (BMC chisels were known to be scalped on the resell market for $100 each size practically making you spend $1200 for the whole set, While SAB when it started, nobody has tried to resell it, somewhat always in stock even when it goes out of stock in newtype. This goes to show you how much production is made comparing SAB and BMC and the total for SAB is close to $289 and a massive difference to BMC. You still need practice, even with the best tools, you still need foundation. Fun fact, someone who also has a popular channel compared SAB and BMC (and it's somewhere here in youtube).
Sorry about the rooster sounds! 😆
PLS SHOW US THE ROOSTER FR FR
You cant win them all, but please keep on rolling!!
Definitely will! 🤙
i wish we were neighbors.
Hahaha why
Love your father's content. Me and my wife are getting into Gunpla and I want to paint them like my gaming miniatures!
Can you use water based varnished (like Vallejo's) to protect the paint from the panel lines? Im also wondering if water slide decals can be applied directly over water based acrylics
What panel liner are you going to use? Tamiya? Or you’re doing something similar to the video?
Star gate is wrong and sucks.
Ok? Have no idea about star gate so…🤣
@NicoSuratos watch the movie and tv show. Just trying to help
Hi, i just want to ask. I am using acrylic as base paint then using gloss waterbased topcoat and let it cured for 1-2 days. After that i applied tamiya panel line then clean it with a thinner after an hour. However, it always removed the base color underneath. Do you have any idea or how can i panel line my kit with acrylic base paint. I am not using lacquer since i am just hand brushing and i dont like the smell.
It sounds like you need wait longer for the topcoat to fully cure before applying the panel liner. Acrylic takes 2 weeks to a month to fully cure. Plus, if you’re using Tamiya Panel Liner and cleaning it with Lacquer thinner, then of course, the acrylic base coat will react harshly. You can’t use lacquer on top of acrylics. Lacquers are ‘too hot’ compared to acrylics. You can switch to lighter fluid since it’s less harsh and don’t soak the cotton buds with it while cleaning. Or use water-based oil paints for panel lining.
@NicoSuratos thank you so much for responding. Great help 🙏
Btw I have heard you need to use Top Coat BEFORE panel lining, then apply another Top Coat. Is that true?
Okay so first, Topcoat is Varnish. It’s called Topcoat because you apply it on TOP of everything else as the final step, otherwise, it’s just called Varnish, if you’re doing more steps after it. You gloss VARNISH before panel lining to create a smooth surface for the liner to run through, makes it easier to clean up after as well. After that, when you’re done with your build and you want to display it already, that’s when you TOPCOAT with whatever finish you want - Gloss, Satin, or Matte.
Nice tutorial!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Are model kits more cheaper in japan?
Sure, no export markup plus it’s tax-free for tourists.
Very good tips and observations, one that I think you overlooked a little bit, perhaps tied to having confidence, is that in some scenes, I can see you going over your scribed lines quite fast and that requires A LOT of experience and skill. I think this is where a lot of us fail and become frustrated, because we think that just having an expensive scriber will give us those skills. I have learned that in order for me to get the best lines, I have to start out VERY slow, and not put too much pressure at all when beginning my lines/shapes. You should only apply heavier pressure when you see your scribed lines clearly defined, and your speed should be very slow even then. I’ve been scribing for about 5 years or so and my speed is maybe less than half of what you demonstrated on your video.
Hey @luifranco1457, thanks for the feedback! Scribing speed is definitely a personal preference. Some people prefer a slower, more methodical approach, while others like to work quickly and efficiently. I think the best way to find what works for you is to experiment with different speeds and see what gives you the best results. If you have a light hand, like I do, you might be able to get away with a faster pace. However, if you tend to apply heavier pressure, slowing down a bit can help you maintain control and avoid mistakes. Ultimately, the goal is to produce clean, consistent lines. Whether you scribe slowly or quickly, as long as you're happy with the results, that's what matters most.
@ Wise words! Keep up the great work! 👍
Nice work! That's an awesome custom painted kit, a winner for me❤
Thanks, I appreciate it! 😊
Will you make a tutorial video for this unleashed?
I didn't really film the whole process of this since I was rushing to make it in time before the deadline.
Tinuli ang male peg 🥺😆
HAHAHAHAHA oo nga, parang ganun 🤣
Awesome built!
Could you use a small amount of black wash paint or speed paint instead of panel liner if you do not have it? If not what is the difference?
You can try this method if you don't have panel liner. ruclips.net/video/KJgDkqfGOio/видео.htmlsi=oDwInHhcaVMzNcY7 Black wash can work, it can just be too transparent to work properly. You might have to do multiple layers just to make it solid enough. Speed paint might work too, I just think it stains the parts too much as it's kinda harsh so might be hard to clean it up. Could also scratch the paint underneath while attempting to clean it.
this is just like uv resin. you can find it at hobby lobby in the jewelry section
The clear uv resin ones? Sure you can use that, I just find it too hard to sand without resorting to a mini grinder
I just started getting into Gunpla and your videos and tutorials are top notch! #InstantFan. Hope you can suggest what size of scribber we can start with
Thank you for watching my videos! This was my reply to a somewhat similar comment: I use 0.15, 0.2 and 0.5 the most. * 0.15mm: Perfect for fine details and intricate lines, it's the same size as the existing panel lines on 1/144 kits as well. * 0.2mm: A versatile size suitable for general scribing and panel lining on 1/100 scale kits. Same size as the existing lines on those kits too. * 0.5mm: Best for creating wider lines and deeper grooves, ideal for highlighting larger panel lines and add variety to your panel line design.
@@NicoSuratos This is so helpfull! Thank you! now i just have to look for these.
Nooooo
I’m okay! Just released the explanation video about this 😅
You will find the passion back eventually. Find another hobby to spend some time with or just enjoy life. It's ok 🍀
Thank you!
Veramente estremamente bello! Ottimo lavoro!😊

Hi ! Learning a lot from your videos. Between Creos Aqueous color & Acrysion, which one is similar to vallejo acrylic paint?
Both are similar. Aqueous and Acrysion are both water-based acrylic paints just like Vallejo.
@ thanks nico!
Welcome!
Came across your tutorials! Question, what is your top 3 scribing chisel sizes for 1/100 and why? Hoping you notice this comment and give your insight. Thanks!
I use 0.15, 0.2 and 0.5 the most. * 0.15mm: Perfect for fine details and intricate lines, it's the same size as the existing panel lines on 1/144 kits as well. * 0.2mm: A versatile size suitable for general scribing and panel lining on 1/100 scale kits.

How much did he pay for this for you to paint??
You can send me a dm/email for commission inquiries :)
Great video! Btw, might i ask if Bosny primer paint is Suitable for warhammer minis?
Sure you can! My dad uses them all the time :) Just be mindful of how many coats and how heavy you apply it since miniatures are a lot smaller so the details can get flooded easily.
@NicoSuratos thank you sm! Def got a sub
I do love how you used compasses to maintain symmetry! That's a really simple and effective solution!
Makes it a whole lot easier honestly!
Would this work better with citadel or tamiya paints? I have both but I'm unsure which would do a better job for gundam. For some reason my tamiya paints barely stick and I don't know what to do, and I'm afraid citadel will look like a rough surface.
Tamiya is alcohol-based so it's really tricky to handpaint with it. Alcohol-based paints reactivates so you can't do a second coat, you're just scratching the first coat underneath. It's mainly for airbrushing. Therefore, Citadel paints are better in this case. Those are actually formulated for handpainting since they're meant for miniature figures.
Ah, I understand. I come from Warhammer but I accidentally invested in some tamiya acrylic paints before doing research. Thanks for the tip!
Got it! You can use Citadel paints or whatever you're already using on your warhammer minis to handpaint Gunpla :)
