Thank you. I have built the Bandai version which is smaller and in my opinion not as good as the Moderoid one. I am also waiting for a Moderoid Dairugger XV. I can't believe they haven't done one yet. As a kid in Australia we got both Voltron series but I think I also preferred Vehicle Force Voltron.

Thanks 👍

Thank you 👍

Thanks 👍. My shopping exploits are pretty boring. Usually I head for a Yodobashi Camera as well (they still have the same theme song playing from when I lived in Japan years ago). I only buy small things like tools and decals so I can fit them in a suitcase 😀

Thank you

I am sure you will have fun building this one. It looks great once built.

Thank you. I felt like this build was nothing but masking 😊 As I am sure you experience with your builds, sometimes it feels like you spend hours masking and only minutes airbrushing.

@@duckplayingchicken Yes, and in my case, depending on the color of the area I am masking, I might miss gaps due to me being colorblind. Lately I've just been slathering masking solution over the masking just to be thorough. Nuke it from orbit; it's the only way to be sure!

I tend to use masking solution the same way.

@@duckplayingchicken Hey! It was inevitable! Hasegawa will release a 1:72 Glaug kit in March!

Awesome. I will have to keep an eye out for that.

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you 😊

I agree it would be good for me to show the painting process, however I have tried filming in my spray booth and it is not great. Sorry. I hope to build a new spray booth in the future so I can film the painting process properly. I painted every piece in this kit which was a bit silly of me considering many of them are never seen. The best advice I can provide is if you have little experience with an airbrush, practice on a cheap kit and use thin coats. You will always get a better result using multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat. The process I used for this kit (and most of my other builds) is: 1. All the SMS paints I use are pre-thinned lacquer based. I use them straight from the bottle (no further thinning required). I spray them using my Grex Tritium TG Airbrush at about 10psi. 2. For light colours I used SMS Surfacer White as the primer. For the darker parts I used SMS Surfacer Black. 3. I used SMS Clear Gloss prior to panel lining and decals. 4. Finally I used SMS Flat Clear to seal everything in.

I am new at this but I am going all in,either make it or brake it,and i am building this kit as my first,and i am going full led kit,water decals, panel lining and painting(basic not detailed)of course I'm going to practice everything first,I currently gather things to make a custom spray booth ,using a small toilet vent and other parts,thank you for your advices and great videos!

Thank you 😊 I am glad to hear you are going to build some of these kits. Best of luck with the lighting. I would love to hear how you go.

Thank you. I always appreciate great feedback. It makes it very worthwhile 😊

Thank you so much 😊

I used SMS paints which are lacquer based and I used a Grex Tritium airbrush

Sorry to hear the decals got messed up. Sorry I am not sure where you can get replacements.

Thank you 😊

Glad to see the video potentially helped you save some money 😁

Thank you 😁

I had the foot on the table then pushed the leg down on the joint. I had to use quite a bit of force. Just make sure you aren't getting any armour pieces in the way when connecting the foot.

You are very welcome 😁

I've only ever seen the Layzner in 1/100, 1/72 or 1/48. I don't know if it comes in 1/144.

That it is 😁

Thank you. Most appreciated.

Great idea

Thank you. I am glad you found the video helpful.

Good point 👍

Yes you could snap fit this kit together without glue.

Thank you. A kit of the Barbarossa would be awesome. LOTGH has so many cool ship designs.

Thank you. I am glad you found it helpful. Have fun building this great kit.

Thanks. Yes it is definitely worth it if you can get it at that price!

Nice, I’m going to grab it and probably be back to your page multiple times for reference. Yours came out great

Awesome. I hope you enjoy building it as much as I did 😁

Thank you! 😊

Thank you. I am glad you found it useful.

Thanks. I will have to hunt down the Hyperion kit. As much as I like the Brunhild, I actually prefer the design of the Hyperion.

@@duckplayingchicken I've only seen that Mr. Hobby will have a color specifically for the Hyperion, just as they had released one for this Brunhild kit. I've yet to look up to see if the Hyperion kit is out yet. I actually have a modest stack of resin LOTGH garage kits by Alba. I've yet to paint any, but they are pretty incredible. They come with decals and some come with photoetch parts.

I am aware of the LOTGH resin kits (probably because of your channel) but I have not had the pleasure of building any of rhem. They sound great and I am sure being resin would be highly detailed.

That it is :)

The original tubing has an outer diameter of about 2mm whereas what I ended up using was 1.5mm outer diameter.

Thank you. That is great advice about super glue. I will have to give it a go next time.

Thank you. I have painted many models that looked rubbish. Everyone has to start from somewhere.

Thank you :)

Thank you. Yes I am looking forward to doing the last 2 kits in the series.

I got them from Ali Express

I got them from Ali Express. All the rest of the colour markings were masked and painted.

Thanks for that tip. I will have to try it out.

Thank you so much. Comments like that make it worthwhile :)

I agree. I think the Wave version is a lot better representation of the ship from the original series.

I got these kits from Japan via eBay. A lot of the kits I build are rarely available in Australia unfortunately.

why did you attach things and afterwards masking everything instead of leaving things seperated, then paint them, and then attach them?

Yes I predominantly use an airbrush for models. I find that this gives me the most consistent colour coverage. There is nothing stopping you from using a brush to paint models like this but that is something I am not confident doing. Styrene cement is the type of glue I use. This welds the plastic together ensuring a solid joint. Yes I prime all my models with a surface primer. This allows the colour paint to stick better to the surface. It may help to check out my video on the tools I use ruclips.net/video/DBiwqC8DMQU/видео.html

You can paint everything separately and then glue it together rather than masking. The thing to watch out for is that the glue doesn't ruin your paint. Depending on the quality of the model you may find some of the joins may have gaps if they are not glued. Remember we all start somewhere. If you can get your hands on a small cheap model to practice on can also help.

Thank you. The tweezers I use are Tamiya. I find they are well made and work very well.

Thank you. Very much appreciated 😊

I have used ball bearings before and found they work well. One thing to remember is to use marine grade stainless steel ball bearings so they don't rust or react to the paint.

@@duckplayingchicken Yeah...good info....I've tried BBs that you get for BB guns work ok but a little bit on the light side....I also heard folk using nuts (as in nut and bolt) too

I think these are some of my favourite kits I have built. Partly due to nostalgia but mainly because they packed so much into a small kit. I am sure you will enjoy building yours when you get around to them.
