Also, gorgeous work Papa Gundam!!! I love the work crew and the small work truck on the lower left side..thanks for focusing on the small details, love seeing the work crew in focus against the nu gundam slightly out of focus in the background
A tip from a guy who used to paint action figures, soft plastics will be eaten up when you apply enamels and lacquers. That said still a good looking kit, might end up trying my hand at Gundam models eventually. Personally I thought the lighting was good. And that hangar you've painted is definitely paying for itself if you ask me, really makes your kits pop out on camera.
Finally the Nu video is here! Fantastic work and I love the new logo and intro. I actually pardon the issues of this kit because the design is so lopsided and asymmetrical, something Sazabi doesn’t have. I like it just as much as Sazabi, they are both 1/100 PGs, and just like PGs, pose em once and just look at it pretty. Again, those shading on the pipes at the back of the knees are 💯👌. The different shades of steel you used really pops up because of the great parts separation.
Oh daaaaaaamn! That looks absolutely glorious! Sucks about the issues you had though xD I think the lighting looks good, gives a nice moody feel to the hanger scene.
I havent slept so you know me those are words that resonate with my very soul keep up the great content gundam you bring the community joy in these dark times
I've gone in and out with designs and what I like so much. But I always come back to the nu. Theres just something about it that makes it the perfect space age giant robot design
Amazing job Gundam. The video is a little dark but the angles and the slow pans are perfect. Keep it up, really enjoy seeing you grow as a gunpla artist
we are always our own worst critics, that being said i think you did an excellent job . I just got this kit and i have built and painted alot of military and sci fi stuff but this is my first gundam.
My MG Nu Gundam Ver.ka has been pretty good, haven't paint it as I am testing on cheaper kits first but I also haven't even built the funnels or stand yet XD... The RG Nu is looking pretty neat but the Ver.ka will always be my go to, gotta get the Sazabi ver.ka next...
for lights you can paint it in. decide where you want the light source then glaze the surrounding areas with the colour you want, only works for one pose though
Great lighting. Maybe a TAD dark but i think it fits your backdrop and it doesnt make things hard to see. I think its just right. And if my 3rd build looked like that id be pretty fuckin happy. Good work
Lighting's solid. Good contrast show's off the really crazy awesome work. Got me pricing compressors and brushes now... Damn you... and thanks! It's to get that creative bug again after the animation industry crushed my spirit. Second verse, same as the first. Loving the channel bruv.
This is my first purchase/build. Funny enough, i discovered this channel looking for gunpla to play on the TV as i built. Currently in the process of building it. Being my first, it will be a snap build. I'll let you know how the joints/overall build hold up.
Functionality issues aside that really is a beautiful piece. Especially with that hangar you put together. It may have been a pain in the ass but it adds so much to the video. I’ve always been more partial towards the minimalist mobile suits rather than the ones that have all this crazy shit on them. One of my favorite series is 8th MS Team.
Try using a top down white light with a side light to get better realism because at some angle you lose details, you can see the lighting styles in a lot of professional gunpla photos if you need more of a reference because with the current lighting it gives off a dark unnatural light feel but every thing else is awesome.
Your painting and scenery is excellent. Would be cool if we had a close camera panning down/up slowly at the beginning while it just stands docked in the hangar. Just like how you do throughout the video.
I just got my hguc Rx-78 2 Gundam revive and unlike the average gunpla builder, I also .... PANEL LINED IT. I hope they do a Hguc revive version of the Nu Gundam.
The RG is coming in August! Cant wait for it to come XD And ver. Ka’s are notorious for joints anyways so i believe every single one will have weak joints
I just got my RG Nu Gundam and to me is literally the MG Nu Gundam ver ka but better in almost every way. The kit is stable, parts don't pop out, and that the fin funnels aren't frail and aren't flimsy.
i see how the psycho frame on the forearms arent shown. same here lmao. a pain on my side to open the forearms to reveal the pyscho frame. not sure if you felt the same way though.
Also I thought the brightness was just right because the background was dark. It made the shadows in the garage seem more realistic to me anyway. I’m watching on iPhone XS Max on 20% brightness
the actual lighting and saturation on the model was immaculate but the background was /maybe/ a bit dark? it is a background though so going much brighter with it might be super detrimental, iunno
Yea. I've heard of the issues with the MG RX-93 ν Gundam (Ver Ka) which is why I think fans will likely be super excited with the RG RX-93 ν Gundam which is coming soon. It's looking more promising. Perhaps later you can get the RG RX-93 ν Gundam and compare it to its MG Ver. Ka counterpart?
@xxnike629xx I bet you're itching to fire shots again against the Nu ver Ka due to its issues, but still afraid to go all out because it's still praised as a very good kit despite its flaws. 😸
I'm thinking about buying this kit. Whats the difference between the older kit and the newer kit of this same RX-93 Ver.Ka? One kit is £60 the new version priced £100. Whats the difference? I should also be honest in that I've only completed one Gundam kit thus far. I really like this Gundam design which kit should I buy for the novice enthusiast?
We all have our own tastes. I'm not crazy about the Sazabi's look, for example, so I would never get it, even though its well crafted. The Nu makes drool, though, in part due to the asymmetry.
Nice paint job. Did you snap build then disassemble before you paint? Or did you paint after cutting from the runners? I want to paint mine but im afraid i may break it during disassembly
I’m having such a hard time with the stickers. Pls oh Gundam! Help me with that! Also everything you have said about the standing and posing the gundam is such a hard task. Also the sabers I had to super glue it.
ItsAGunpla I’m using the decals that came with it. I bought an Xacto set to cut out the pieces but all I get it basically what is in between the material. Would getting another decal set from another vendor help me? I’ve fucked up like 3 pieces from something small already. And yeah. It’s water decals. Could you do a video on how to apply the decals for a noob like me????
The focus is out of wack in some shots try making the panning shots have a more solid focus on parts. Try lighting pointed forward at your subject and one light from above.
ItsAGunpla for a one man show you do just as much as a 4 or 5 man crew. The hanger bay really immerses the panning shots and it creates a great atmosphere for your commentary
Amazing work bro 👍🏼...you are exactly right though, looks amazing but posing is a bit ....shitty lol I think i will start work on mine tmrw. You’re an inspiration bro 😂 Btw, intro is sick 👍🏼 Your on your way to the top of the Gunpla Game. Watch out Gunpla meli! Lmao oh and the hanger? Fucking sick bro!
To many gimmicks = structural issues, while i like some gimmicks, some of the opening armor and such to "show off" details is kinda pointless and annoying when parts SNAP and you dont have the money, equipment, or skill to repair, or even make, your own parts
Damn you complain a lot. That is how Ver Ka's are like. And I don't have issues on painting and opening and closing for the psycho frame. Its one of the easiest on resin conversions as well. Since everything is not double layered for the armor.
That new Insignia is beautiful bro.
I don’t build Gunpla but your videos are reeling me in.
Suit looks awesome and the background looks sick man, makes it much more immersive
Also, gorgeous work Papa Gundam!!! I love the work crew and the small work truck on the lower left side..thanks for focusing on the small details, love seeing the work crew in focus against the nu gundam slightly out of focus in the background
I have to paint the rest of the crew and maybe add a supply truck some more background items like barrels
Most of the problems you had with this are pretty common, unfortunately. Paintjob still looks sick, though!
Hanger bay looks amazing, puts it over the top
very much agree with your views at 8:50! awesome review as always.
For your 3rd kit 10/10! Amazing detail, the hanger looks sick too
But they blew up Texas Colony in 0079

How did you seal your water slide decals?
Super awesome and the hanger pulls the look of these suits out so well like your watching a good live action movie of the show
It's a very beautiful build gundam. Great job

For your third painted kit, it looks awesome! I have a nu ver ka too and it's really amateurish since it was my first hand painted kit.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this kit was prone to breaking easily
This is my first purchase/build. Funny enough, i discovered this channel looking for gunpla to play on the TV as i built. Currently in the process of building it. Being my first, it will be a snap build. I'll let you know how the joints/overall build hold up.

I forgot about that, I use a camera slider so it's possible just a lot of work to set up those types of shots.🤔 I'll try it next time!
Bro this sh*t looks awesome! Great video and commentary all around.
I just got my hguc Rx-78 2 Gundam revive and unlike the average gunpla builder, I also .... PANEL LINED IT. I hope they do a Hguc revive version of the Nu Gundam.
Damn Gundam that's your third kit?! When it comes in I'll be starting my third kit but it sure as hell isn't going to look as good as that.
Its the 3rd kit he painted but not the his very 3rd kit.
Fabulous build, Gundam.
Im planning to drill in tiny magnets on the fin funnels. See how it works out for me. Thats my biggest gripe, they wont stay on.
The RG is coming in August! Cant wait for it to come XD
And ver. Ka’s are notorious for joints anyways so i believe every single one will have weak joints
Hi great setup you got there especially the backdrop of a hangar. What kind of kits/brands did you use? Or do a video tutorial about it?
Great looking video, awesome paint job!
Wish Bandai focused on structural stability on the ver.ka kits. Katoki deserves better.. thede are finicky range from ok to average.
Brighter lighting please and more action poses :). Liked and I love these videos.
I just got my RG Nu Gundam and to me is literally the MG Nu Gundam ver ka but better in almost every way. The kit is stable, parts don't pop out, and that the fin funnels aren't frail and aren't flimsy.
I know you're not into RG kit but I would love to see your work with the new Sazabi
do you pre-shade? the hue looks absolutely gorgeous.
i see how the psycho frame on the forearms arent shown. same here lmao. a pain on my side to open the forearms to reveal the pyscho frame. not sure if you felt the same way though.
You can do with a nice spot light. Overall, nice set up
Also I thought the brightness was just right because the background was dark. It made the shadows in the garage seem more realistic to me anyway. I’m watching on iPhone XS Max on 20% brightness
I'm now watching it on my s8 and the video looks so much better. Guess I need a new monitor.
that is the sexiest Nu Gundam i think ive seen to date
Damn that intro was sexy
That model is just as sexy too damn amazing work man
this gundam is so good for pose, but throw all of that weapons, the melee pose are the best for this, ankle joint are great
the actual lighting and saturation on the model was immaculate but the background was /maybe/ a bit dark? it is a background though so going much brighter with it might be super detrimental, iunno
thanks for the honest no bullshit review
The background is very nice, where can I but it from on-line shop? Pls advise , many thanks
Awesome review bro 👍
Will this work with any of the action bases?
BADASS! Godlike Detailing bro!
I look up to you now. (:
from what I have seen you are a good painter only a matter of time before you surpass me.
The arm bit of the shield has the same issue on the RG. I think it's a design issue. Massive shield on a part of the arm with moving parts.
Yea. I've heard of the issues with the MG RX-93 ν Gundam
(Ver Ka) which is why I think fans will likely be super excited with the RG RX-93 ν Gundam

Really nice video and build.
Personally I don't really like the design of the nu gundam, but I don't know why? May be it's due to the asymmetry

Where can I watch the fight?
THERE'S A GUNDAM DOWN HERE!

I took off the funnels on mine. those things gave me ptsd. haven't built my Hi nu gundams funnels yet because of them lol
Great job!
hey Gundam what compressor do you use? I recently got an Iwata Neo as a gift but I don't have a compressor.
Love your vids!! Keep it up m8
CHAR!!!!
im starting to build mine... this kit feels more brittle compared to normal MGs i built, idk why
Very infatuated by your work. Especially this nu gundam. Where do you get your metal boosters? I would really like to give this kit a try.
Love your videos man You sugarcoat nothing lol
U should try da RG nu gundam it’s da premium god like kit better than da MG nu Ver.Ka
The focus is out of wack in some shots try making the panning shots have a more solid focus on parts. Try lighting pointed forward at your subject and one light from above.
The curse of lumix camera the focus is a real pain in the ass

Same man.... same
What do you think of building 1/144 kit?
MAYBE I'll do the 1/144 sazabi and Nu Gundam. The only 144 I'll grab for sure at some point is the Dendrobium.
Dude, how about the Hi Nu Gundam? Thats my favorite one...
I plan on doing a heavy weapons version and a resin conversion version. So two planned.
I got this for my birthday. lol
かっこいいぜ
wooot
Amazing work bro 👍🏼...you are exactly right though, looks amazing but posing is a bit ....shitty lol I think i will start work on mine tmrw. You’re an inspiration bro 😂
Btw, intro is sick 👍🏼 Your on your way to the top of the Gunpla Game. Watch out Gunpla meli! Lmao oh and the hanger? Fucking sick bro!
Nice
Are you a 1/100 only buyer?
360p. awww ya baby!
360p? did he get lazy or forgot?

You should try www.gundamled.com/ for basic replacement LEDs. Way better than the Bandai ones and activated by magnets.
Damn 👁🗨👄👁🗨
This is just clickbait for the RG Nu which isn't released yet.
need more close ups . really close .
Katoki models are flimsy af.
First!
Damn you complain a lot. That is how Ver Ka's are like. And I don't have issues on painting and opening and closing for the psycho frame. Its one of the easiest on resin conversions as well. Since everything is not double layered for the armor.
