I love the amount of care Bandai puts into their Real Grade kits. Some are a little meh, but the Sazabi, the Nu Gundam, even the Unicorn Gundam(with its super tight inner frame parts) all look amazing. I really look forward to collecting this kit and the Nu Gundam one day
The earlier ones with the advanced ms joint inner frame are a hit or miss from what I've seen people say, but everything since the unicorn has used it less and less and it seems they're all really good. Sazabi, nu and hi nu especially.
Great job indeed! What are the right steps? 1) first flat coat , 2) painting, decals and panel line, 3) final coat? How can you avoid to remove seam lines? Thanks
Excellent work!!!!So you’re just spraying a clear Matte top coat over the plastic? It looks really good, I don’t even wanna buy an airbrush anymore to repaint kits with the result your getting with just a top coat. 👍🏼
were the red parts painted as well, it looks so clean and cool. I am also planning on getting the RG Sazabi soon as well, but I have my eyes on the MG RX 78-2 Origin and the RG Nu Gundam first. Amazing work, this actually makes me interested in attempting to paint my models as well. looking forward to more of your content
That Sazabi is so beautiful! I think I might try to do something similar with mine when it arrives. Also did you Top Coat the red parts one by one or by section (arms, legs, head)?
How did you make the stickers so good and flush without any of the stickers be too revealing? (Side note I mean the semi transparent part looking nonexistent)
There are 2-3 things that I do when applying clear sticker 1.Make sure it lay on flat surface. It should not lay on any step, seam line or panel line. Cut and separate sticker if needed. 2.After stick it on the part, use q-tip to press it. Make sure it sticks well and no bubble inside. 3.Apply matt topcoat. Sticker and plastic have different shininess. Apply matt topcoat make them become same matt level. these just help to improve but the best solution is using waterslide decal.
How do you panel line over metallic paints? Water only based washes? Also, do you flat top coat your metallics as well? They look so nice since they don't look super shinny...
@@StringKiller after painting metallic(some of them are acrylic and enamel), i apply topcoat with lacquer paint first then do panel line. Then flat topcoat again. Yes i apply flat topcoat on every metallic paints except gold.
@Armstudiogunplaspeedbuild thanks for these tips! I'll experiment around - I'm able to topcoat outside with spray cans but I don't have an airbrush so I'll experiment on clear finished that can be applied with a brush for small golden details. Thanks again!
@@Armstudiogunplaspeedbuild I plan to use Mr Hobby Premium flat cans, but I was wondering what to do with metals. I don't know if masking a whole piece just to change the topcoat of a small detail is really worth it XD. I'm trying to just use acrylics so it is a bit challenging since many folks use enamel paints at some point.
Hello again and again great results with the build! i've read the comments on this video, and just wanna ask about some clarification. Sorry to bother you about that 😅 1.) All are tamiya paints right? about the primer since you said you didn't use primer for red and gold, i just wanna ask how many layers you did for red and gold? 2.) About inner frame how many layers you did as well? 3.) do i also have to sand the surface that will be painted or i just can straight up paint it? i really appreciate the answers bro, thank you as always!
Yes all paint are Tamiya. Most paints just for small details. I didnt repaint red and inner frame but i do flat topcoat on them. I didnt do sanding just straight 2-3 layers
@@Andy-my3pc It doesn’t mess with acrylic and lacquer paint. Sure it will mess enamel paint. Dont use it on enamel paint unless you apply acrylic or lacquer topcoat on it.
@@Armstudiogunplaspeedbuild one more question if you don't mind. Do you wash your parts before you paint? I see a lot of online posts suggesting we should wash them to help the paint stick but the topcoat should protect it right?
hello again. what is your panel liner accent? is it okay to use tamiya panel line accent directly to inner frames? i would like to follow your steps here and also ordered the spray can gold you use
hi again i think i got the answer regarding panel accent. i read other comments. another question. i always pause your vid here, do you also top coat your inner frames? how about the mettalic paints like silver brown and gold, do you cover it by masking before applying flat top coat?
which is better rg sazabi or rg nu gundam i really love the sazabi design but will the shoulder break if i play around with it too much? and pls tell me which is most suitable posing .especially ground poses
Both of them are good kits. Sazabi is pretty solid. I think the shoulder won't break if you dont plat that hard. For Nu, overall is also solid but the way that fin funnels connected together is too weak to me even some people say it is improved version from MG. if I have to choose one, I would go Sazabi. I dont know much about posing. I normally do standard pose because I don't wanna scratch my paint job. But I can say both can stand on ground without action base.
This is a really good build so is it just clear Matt top coat or do you have to paint (spray paint) the red pieces one by one Also for the clear parts what paint did you use Sorry for asking so much but do you buy water slide decals For the paints could you tell me all the ones you used
It is just clear Matt top coat but any parts with gold or clear, I did topcoat first then assembled them later. All paints are Tamiya both acrylic and enamel for hand painting and lacquer spray can paint. Here is the list of paints Arcylic: X-25 clear green, XF-6 copper Enamel: XF-16 flat aluminum, XF-10 flat brown Lacquer(spray can): TS-21 gold, TS-33 dull red(small part on shoulders), TS-80 flat clear I didnt buy water slide decals. I just used clear stickers those came with the kit.
The Kshatriya in this video is a 3rd party action figure. I didnt build it. It is already completed from the box. I just did little paint and applied topcoat.
It took 2 weeks to finish. But I only build it when i have free time. I used art knife to clean up nub. It wont be perfect but flat topcoat will help to conceal stress mark. If you want to completely get rid of stress mark. probably need to repaint all the parts.
Also, did you initially applied top coat first before applying panel lines and decals before sealing them in with matte top coat? How many layers of top coat?
@@hansderamos I normally apply flat topcoat by segment. But some areas are difficult to reach. Also, i dont apply flat topcoat on clear and gold parts. So, if that segment has these kind of thing, I will do by piece then assemble later. I normally dont apply topcoat before panel line. If you worry about crack, there is easier way to prevent. As long as you dont put panel line accent on seam line or part that having stress, It wont break. If you are not sure, just panel line before assemble. Only 2 cases that i do extra topcoat layer before panel line will be first, too flat painted part that panel line accent cant run and sink into the paint. So, it needs gloss or semi gloss topcoat before panel line. Second, enamel painted part. Because panel line accent is also enamel base. Therefore, need one layer to protect the paint before panel line. I hope this will be helpful for you. Have fun man
@@anastaway the problem isn't only over sprayed. it is also humidity. If it doesn't have any decals on the part, I suggest clean the paint out and repaint it. If there are decals on the part, you probably don't wanna destroy them. So you can try these ways. If it is only foggy, you can try gloss topcoat then flat topcoat again. If it is frosty (surface already not smooth?) you probably need to sand it.
