Dude the new edits are awesome. Every video is an improvement over the previous. Keep up the great work. Thank you for getting me into this hobby. My wallet hates you though.
What's going on with YT lately? This just now popped in my feed for new videos. Anyways this brings back memories. This was the first gunpla kit that I ever built, I still have it and its box. I thought about rebuilding it and fixing my mistakes, but I also like having it as a memento of how far I've grown as a builder.
I totally understand the dilemma! I really wish I still had some of the first kits I painted for just that reason. To answer your first question, RUclips really doesn't favour creators at my "low level" so to speak, and would rather suggest content outside your algorithm than that of little creators like me haha
I was hoping someone would make a video on the old Gundam wing kits, I remember seeing them in Toys R Us in the states but I never got one since I bought into Zoids instead Little did I know parents were bewildered by the fact that you had to build them at the time.
Man I really want the Agg. But I fear the difficulty xD And great video! 🧡 My first experience with Gundam I had 2003 or 2004 with Gundam Wing on the german TV channel Tele 5. Came after Captain Future.
Modification can be difficult, but I find it best to just take things really slow. I really enjoy thinking up how to solve certain problems in creative ways. Also, Captain Future! I recognize the name but not the show. I don't know if it aired in Canada back in the day.
Altron was mine, bought at a Canadian Walmart. I remember knowing nothing about primer and trying to paint the model kit directly with testors enamel paint (also sold at Walmart) with little success lol.
Man this brings back memories. I have an old NG 1/144 Wing Gundam sitting in the back log for just this kind of build! Exact same story, my grandparents took me to Toys R Us in 2000 and I picked up the Wing Gundam and have never looked back. Also just spent hours fixing the HGAC Wing Zeros binders so there is not a hinge sticking out of them like this versions.
It is so cool that so many of us had this special experience! Thanks for sharing :) That hinge on the HGAC is such a lazy addition hey? I have one I'll have to mod too! I'd love to see your mod.
Really cool techniques being used, and I appreciate you talking through the decisions you make! Modding kits like this has always been so fascinating to me, one day I'll try my hand at it.
Thanks so much Weston!! The next video will be more legible and better organized, I find the mod section in this one a little helter-skelter due to my rambling haha. But modding is super fun, I highly recommend it!
I've been working through some Metal Armor dragonar Kits that originated from the 80's...These old kits make you appreciate modern kits sooooo much lol. Looking forward to the finished product mon ami!
Ah yes! I have the Schwalg, keep meaning to do something with it one day. The modern kits are very well engineered, but I really love the charm of the older ones :)
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I've got the torso, head & backpack filmed, so those will be next! Then legs and accessories! It's been a really fun project ... Even if it doesn't turn out the way I necessarily want it to 😅
Oh hell yeah, Zero was my first Gundam model too! Bought it at the Electronics Boutique at woodgrove mall in Nanaimo that same year, I hadn't really had a chance to watch the show but I saw an ad for the models and loved the idea!
New to the channel & subscribed! Stellar work thus far. My first kit from back then was the Wing Gundam Zero Custom. Can't wait to see the finished mod!
This is amazing!! I also grew up with this kit, rebought it about 10 years ago, built it half way intending to mod it and just a few days ago put it in a pile of things to take to a Goodwill.. I might have to pull it out of that bin and follow along with you on this kit! I was excited to go to your channel for part 2 but realized this was just uploaded 15 hours ago! Can't wait to see where you take this.
@@LiamsHobbyRoom this part was, I've only been straight building so far but I'm slowly amassing modelling tools and materials so watching your process is super helpful :) I've got an extremely knackered old 90s/early 00s NG 1/100 heavy arms custom missing all of its accessories and a few of the hatch doors that is crying out for some love after stepping back to the hobby after a 20 year break.
I remember that Gundam model commercial. If the “HG” 1/100 Altron is level 5, what level is a PG Zeta Gundam? (BTW I remember counting the parts on the PG/ZG and it came to nearly 800 individual pieces)
I still have this kit. I hate the peg in the wings. But that's understandable given that its a no grade 1/144. I'm planning to make a diorama out of my old 1/144 Gundam series
Ooo! That's an awesome idea! I came up with a couple mod solutions for the wings, and we chatted in the discord about some other methods. I'm not sure if I'll end up executing them, it depends on how I want to display the kit.
I can see a few similarities with this and the more modern Hg and a few things that I feel should have been on the newer kit, namely the ankle joint with its swivel joint
Actually, yes! My discord server is doing our first group build, and I'll show images of our member's kits when I upload my own group build video! If I collaborate it would be with other creators with their own socials, and would likely be interview style. There are lots of logistical concerns with having guest modelers on the channel, namely I film in my home which is a pretty sacred space!

Thanks so much my friend!! I'm doin my darndest. And don't worry... My wallet hates me too. It's just filed for emancipation.
I like a chill gunpla video (& channel) like this. Feels like we’re along for the ride and less just getting reviewed at.
Thank you so much!!! That's really the vibe I've been trying for, that's the kind of video I prefer too :)

I love these old kits! I've never built a Zoid though.
Amazing! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thanks so much!! 🙏

Oh man, THIS!! I did exactly the same thing, I wish I still had the kit I painted. It was a goopy, sticky mess hahaha

This is one hell of a series idea. Going to cool to see what comes next

Wow not expecting to encounter a person also from Nanaimo in the comments, small world
dude!! you gotta watch it! it gets crazy you know what skip gundam wing watch a whole gundam movie like Gundam Thundebolt!
I love that this story applies to so many of us!
Love Thunderbolt too!
Mines was wing but after they introduced Zero with catra being the first to pilot it ... I got it right away😊

Ahh thank you, and I'm glad you enjoy! I'll do a video on the Wing Zero Custom someday too!

Wow! I hope you mod it! It's a lot of fun to work on, I'm already working on part 2 of this video now so here's hoping I can upload that next week!!
Oooooh I am excited to see how this turns out :D
Here's hoping it is fun to watch!! 😁

I'm impressed your Wing Zero lasted this long! Alsoalso...goof off is straight up zippo lighter fluid...
Good to know!! This isn't the same kit, my original was lost eons ago. I found this one in Volks!
This was my first model kit EVER
Ahh love that!!

Man, the levels seemed so arbitrary... Was there actually a rubric they used to grade them?
I still have this kit. I hate the peg in the wings. But that's understandable given that its a no grade 1/144. I'm planning to make a diorama out of my old 1/144 Gundam series

Good call, I hadn't thought of that!
Have you ever thought of having other builders come on and show their work? I think that could be pretty cool

@@LiamsHobbyRoom I totally understand. What's the link to your discord server? I'd love to join in and show you some of my work.
The sandrock in that model series is a nightmare to put together
Haha yes, I remember it's face looking super strange to me, even as a 10 year old
