Danger Boy Productions I have both. The frame on the GM Sniper II is a lot more solid, the feet on the Jesta are very loose. Hands on the Jesta have a 70% chance of breaking at the wrist.
Beautful work PapaG, you really made something out of that broken conversion kit and this will set you up quite well for the Anchoret kit. Also its crazy that you still only at 26k subs even as a gunpla channel, especially amongst English gunpla channels. Yeah yeah ik dudes like Mecha make lots of memes and shit in their videos so its more "entertaining" but if your actually into painting and really putting work into a kit PapaG literally has the best channel for it. Other builders/painters may be more skilled and experienced but PapaG has the best format and most candid opinions imo. edit: typos
That red is very very nice and goes well with the gray and gold. I'm always impressed how crisp you get the details but I'm not surprised given the care you take with the preparation (which can't have been easy with this kit in particular). When I watch a video where someone is blatantly painting over a mold line my right eye starts twitching.
My dude, let's be real. We are ALL here to listen to Your Journey in Gunpla. The highs, the lows, the good bad and ugly. Your Journey is what we feel to be worth a fist full of kits.
This is beautiful man! You never let me down when it comes to content. My friends and I started a Podcast that premiered on Friday and we were looking to have you as a special guest. I'm a fanboy of your gundam work. I hope you say yes! One of my co hosts is @studio G here on RUclips with 19.5k subs. Hope you say yes.
I know of studio G, His paint work is great and his editing skill I could learn from, if my workspace wasn't so damn small I'd do something similar as it seems to be very popular people watching the build process. Makr me down for a maybe, time is something I have little of these days.
@@ItsAGunpla thanks! I will, just let me tell you that the show is every Friday at - 5 GMT. We have some guests lined up, but even if it takes 2 months I'd be happy to have you on. You're like my favorite, the guys know I super fanboy over your skills on Gundam. I'll send you an email.
I actually do like watching u spray your paints on parts, helps me learn more to do better on airbrushing since my arios hg was iffy to the point I clogged my cheap brush
I just finished Sazabi Ver Kai this weekend and I gotta say for my third Master Grade ever made it looks amazing. But this? This is a whole nother level of kit building. Amazing work!
Gundam. You got things wrong... We certainly wouldn't mind you teaching us how to do shit with our lil robots... But that's secondary. What we REALLY want is watching YOU build your kits. That's it. I just enjoy watching you paint and fiddle with the parts.
"you're not hear to watch me spray primer on resin" yanno gundam, i really don't think you understand our tism sometimes. i'm always so impressed by the finish on your kits, and holy shit has your preshading gotten soooooo much better! have you considered getting into weathering? i just picked up some oils right before corona-chan kicked off her world tour, and i got 7 or 8 kits in my backlog. i'm ready to watch the world burn from the comfort of my workbench!
For washing resin parts, using a ultrasonic sonic cleaner really helps. I haven't used a resin kit, but I print out a lot of minis in resin on my MSLA printer. Using a ultrasonic cleaner really helps remove excess resin and other gunk from small details.
Nice to see this channel slowly coming up. Hopefully it will be big enough that people enjoy it more than your regular content. Though that'll take time.
Come on RUclips! I am subscribed, I clicked the bell, why did not not show up in my notifications until 5 days AFTER it was uploaded? Also great video, I like that you are transparent about the issues with the kit and the process as a whole. It looks great for you not going full power on it. Keep up the great videos.
You can also use a like matte finish on you Resin stuff to seal it. Some Resins have an Aqua-phobic nature, so water based paints tend to chip or slide off in some cases. Sealing it tends to rectify these issues.
If you know what to look for you can see how bad this kit is. Im surprised you even completed it. Yo make it right you would have to sanded and fixed every single piece. Like you said, its good practice. Looking forward to seeing how the real one comes out. I have it as well but im working on lesser kits as well before I tackle this beast. You still did a pretty good job for what it is.
filming building a kit is a minimum of a two camera shoot in an area that is already small, with lighting, sliders and so on. I also have 3 other channels to work on plus streaming when I have free time as well as IRL. Most gunpla RUclipsrs have one channel and still don't go half as hard as I do.
Love your channel. So tired of the hip-hop, electronic, "yo-yo!" Gunpla channels out there with their annoying fancy cinematography. They put more work into their videos than their builds. Your channel is refreshing, honest, and gets to exactly what I am interested in. I just picked up the official Anchoret kit for Sazabi (I'm a local Newtype customer :) ). Can't wait to find the time for it. Your videos are always helpful.
I got the UC kit for the Sinanju Stein not knowing UC is a recast. Honestly, its perfect, which is surprising. No warped parts or drilling/re-shaping required. Still, now that I know, I won't take the risk in the future. The stein is my first GUNDAM resin kit, but not my first resin kit. I've got a lot of experience with Warhammer 40k (ForgeWorld) Resin kits... and those have been god awful. Your Sazabi looks awesome by the way!
I know you can't possibly give an exact number but how many parts/pieces of the original kit would you say are replaced by this kit. I ask because I just finished removing all my parts from the sprues and have been working on the inner frame for the most part, however, now I have got to the point where I have no choice but to start working on the outer armor (red pieces) and I don't want to put 100+ hours into it only to not need 75% of those pieces... I have the expansion set enroute and I will be starting on that then until the main YJL kit comes in but I need some guidance/advice in the interim???
looks great. personally i don't like the taller look of the resin kit, but big fan of everything else. i wish i could build one of the Hi-Nu kits out there. :(
Awesome work! I’ve seen in earlier vids that you flat coat the entire kit. Do you flat the metallic painted parts as well. I am struggling whether or not to do this. I’m not into super shiny inner frames, but at the same time don’t want to ruin it, is my approach just wrong.
I have my eye on the plastic sinaju kit but production has been delayed due to the virus, I hope they are as impressive as they look. I would make modding gunpla more accessible for people. BUT on the other hand there are details that resin & 3d printing can get that 3rd party plastic kits cannot recreate.
This is a recast of the infinite dimensions V1 of the sazabi kit, It has a mountain of casting issues and it is obvious the mold has not been kept up to standard over the years. When I compare this to the AnchoreT kit, it's a night and day difference is quality. Maybe I didn't elaborate on this in the video, as when I finished painting it, I moved directly into filming, after filming I edited it as fast as possible did everything in one take. Looking back it may not have been a wise decision, but I am operating on a time crunch that is odds are dangerous for my mental health.
Keep on doing what makes you happy mate. I have no interest in gunpla but you clearly have a passion. Also its disturbing when I try to auto correct 'gunpla' it recommends plague.
@@ItsAGunpla i would have went to that live show =\ hey man at least you have our respect? (massive respect) [even tho that doesn't get girls or pay rent, i think honor is still important and lacking in the world]
resin kits are cool and all for people who dont have much time but personally i prefer making my own customs through scratch building mainly because i then have a one of a kind that i did myself
Tl;dr: You don't need soap and water after a degreaser. Dawn dish soap is a degreaser. Degreasers are degreaser. Just one is good. And don't soak. And maybe hit it with some alcohol jic before paints. Tip: vinegar is the cheapest best go to degreaser oz for oz for plastics. Tl;jr: Anyways. Mix lil soap with warm water and equal parts vinegar for some cheap degreaser. Don't go soaking stuff like in general, and not in purple power. It's not that cheap. And it's made to fck with polymers. And good degreasers doesn't need that much time or work. Usually no time at all. If need be level up to stronger degreasers. It goes soap, vinegar, 409/pp, spirits, thinners & solvents IMHO. IF ya want you can swipe the pieces with a microfiber till dry dry then quick wipes with alcohol isopropyl 70 is winners for preparing anything for primer. Those special metal primer paints are just acids like vinegar btw. Plus hydrocarbon cancer xylene blah blah. Xylene btw will make a decal/transfer of laser printed/xeroxed paper to most anything. If the resin felt weak it might not be fully cured. It might need to gas out so soaking is fucking up. Because you're likely to primer with a water based paint you want a zero oil surface. (This is just universal rules and chemistry iirc. I never done these resin kits and your gunpla game is fckn insane.

Soooyeeah you like u get to do this and ,I hear, just fck with twitch thots for a living?What's the best life like?
I like how his voice is soothing in this channel and how anger drips in other videos. You could literally doze off while watching ItsAgunpla videos.
well thats clearly the effect of doing something that relaxes you / something that drives you insane ( but its entertaining)
You definitely could. take it from me. I slept with his an hour video running lol
Then get violently awakened in the middle of the night when a ItsAGundam video gets recommended
This just shows you how talented he is not even going 100% hard on this still looks amazing
He's only using 1% power
For a junky resin kit and a lot of elbow grease, it still turned out nice. Papa Gundam's tenacity wins again!
The way u strategically fixed up a fucked up kit w a dental drill while building is an art on its own...👍 Looks great.
I just got done building the master grade gm sniper 2 and its the best mg I built so far.
the f90 gundam is rock solid too, its a really good mg imo
yeah the frame is really good
Have you built the jesta? I want to know if they’re similar or not
Danger Boy Productions I have both. The frame on the GM Sniper II is a lot more solid, the feet on the Jesta are very loose. Hands on the Jesta have a 70% chance of breaking at the wrist.

"Happy little accidents: Gundam Resin Builds w/Ross Gunpla" LOL!
Thanks gundam. You made lemonade from a lemon kit. I’m not a posing freak keeping it as a display statue it looks nice to me.
To be fair the resin kit looks really nice. The fact it looks as nice as it does is a testament to your skill.
I've never been this hyped for a RUclips video dropping!

Despite everything you went through turned out looking good dude. I always go ba k to purple power soak, and post wash in dawn.
I actually do like watching u spray your paints on parts, helps me learn more to do better on airbrushing since my arios hg was iffy to the point I clogged my cheap brush
I just finished Sazabi Ver Kai this weekend and I gotta say for my third Master Grade ever made it looks amazing. But this? This is a whole nother level of kit building. Amazing work!
Truly It's been the best eye candy. I've relay enjoyed watching, thank you for sharing all the hard work. Wow! that came out looking relay good.
Yay it’s done! I’ve been hyped to see how this turned out
ive watched your other channel for years and never knew you made this one im so happy… i have a lot to watch
Soooo another facet of Gunpla I lack the patience for. I salute you, sir. Amazing how BIG this looks, hard to believe this is an 7-8" figure
Congrats on finishing it. This was your longest project that I know of and you started it as a throw away practice piece.
Wow. Just. Wow. This looks gorgeous.
Gundam. You got things wrong... We certainly wouldn't mind you teaching us how to do shit with our lil robots... But that's secondary. What we REALLY want is watching YOU build your kits. That's it. I just enjoy watching you paint and fiddle with the parts.
I've always wondered about the shaking. Fluffy needs a Valium for filming.
"you're not hear to watch me spray primer on resin" yanno gundam, i really don't think you understand our tism sometimes.
i'm always so impressed by the finish on your kits, and holy shit has your preshading gotten soooooo much better! have you considered getting into weathering? i just picked up some oils right before corona-chan kicked off her world tour, and i got 7 or 8 kits in my backlog. i'm ready to watch the world burn from the comfort of my workbench!
Man for this conversion kit giving so much hell and for you not putting your all into this it still looks amazing!
honestly one of the best Gunpla Channels out there. Keep doing what your doing good Sir.
For washing resin parts, using a ultrasonic sonic cleaner really helps. I haven't used a resin kit, but I print out a lot of minis in resin on my MSLA printer. Using a ultrasonic cleaner really helps remove excess resin and other gunk from small details.
Nice to see this channel slowly coming up. Hopefully it will be big enough that people enjoy it more than your regular content. Though that'll take time.
If this was you not going all out I'm looking forward to when you do, because this looks great even with the problem you had with the resin.
Come on RUclips! I am subscribed, I clicked the bell, why did not not show up in my notifications until 5 days AFTER it was uploaded?
Also great video, I like that you are transparent about the issues with the kit and the process as a whole. It looks great for you not going full power on it.
Keep up the great videos.
I just bought this recast kit and dealing with exactly what you are talking about. This is taking so much amount of patience.
If you're trying to get resin oils off the kit you can also use Simple green or Dawn dish soap
Papa Gundam with another masterpiece.
You made a kit you wouldn't recommend to your worst enemy look better than the vanilla model. Hats off to you guy
You can also use a like matte finish on you Resin stuff to seal it. Some Resins have an Aqua-phobic nature, so water based paints tend to chip or slide off in some cases. Sealing it tends to rectify these issues.

You still did a pretty good job for what it is.
I’ve Been Waiting For This Review
You are so hard on yourself but this sazabi looks amazing. Keep up the great work, love what you do man
papaG you should have done a build series for this!
filming building a kit is a minimum of a two camera shoot in an area that is already small, with lighting, sliders and so on. I also have 3 other channels to work on plus streaming when I have free time as well as IRL. Most gunpla RUclipsrs have one channel and still don't go half as hard as I do.
gundam´s main lesson : dont be cheap !
Nice spray booth. Can’t tell if it’s a self built or flat pack kit. Seems you have a decent work area. Thanks for the vid.
minutes before buying this UC recast kit I found this video. THANKS!
Looks great
Good job sticking at it
Look forward to what you paint next

She’s gorgeous bro
Wicked awesome video! Love the narration and the blunt honesty about the aftermarket parts and who not to buy from!!
Nice build dude! Keep it up!
Not anyone can take a bad model kit and turn it into something incredible!
if the light gives you problems. try to put a cloth, or thin paper infront of it to control de brightness
I got the UC kit for the Sinanju Stein not knowing UC is a recast. Honestly, its perfect, which is surprising. No warped parts or drilling/re-shaping required.

In all honesty, this looks amazing.
Ah! The Sazabi excellent choice! It’s a beast of a mobile suit!
I watch these videos for awesome viewing angles
Nu and sazabi are still the BEST
Back in my 40k days all i used to clean resin was dawn dish soap. Always worked for resin and washing your kids mouth out
5th favorite gundam tbh
High quality video as usual, i love it
The detail difference is insane. To bad it wasn't a better kit. Looks fantastic though.
I know you can't possibly give an exact number but how many parts/pieces of the original kit would you say are replaced by this kit. I ask because I just finished removing all my parts from the sprues and have been working on the inner frame for the most part, however, now I have got to the point where I have no choice but to start working on the outer armor (red pieces) and I don't want to put 100+ hours into it only to not need 75% of those pieces... I have the expansion set enroute and I will be starting on that then until the main YJL kit comes in but I need some guidance/advice in the interim???
16:58 you need to move the light away, it's got quadratic fall off and that is how you dim a non dim-able light
*STINKY DOG !!!*
Don't you dare touch Gundam's Gunpla.
Go play with socks.
Beyond madness, I applaud you for being patient with such BS💔
looks great. personally i don't like the taller look of the resin kit, but big fan of everything else. i wish i could build one of the Hi-Nu kits out there. :(

looks pretty good regardless of kit quality, great job. off-topic, are you Ray Liotta?
Man I like both kits! Great work.
With companies coming out now with plastic conversions the time of ressin is limited at best.
I have my eye on the plastic sinaju kit but production has been delayed due to the virus, I hope they are as impressive as they look. I would make modding gunpla more accessible for people.
BUT on the other hand there are details that resin & 3d printing can get that 3rd party plastic kits cannot recreate.
been waiting for this! Great job bro.
I feel like clips from the anime in the introduction should be mandatory
Still looks pretty good.
Alright yellow belt, teach me gunpla. Honestly I like the work you do.
Looks beautiful! another amazing peace
My understanding of resin kits is that majority of them are like that where you have to work on the parts a bit to get them to fit right.
This is a recast of the infinite dimensions V1 of the sazabi kit, It has a mountain of casting issues and it is obvious the mold has not been kept up to standard over the years. When I compare this to the AnchoreT kit, it's a night and day difference is quality. Maybe I didn't elaborate on this in the video, as when I finished painting it, I moved directly into filming, after filming I edited it as fast as possible did everything in one take. Looking back it may not have been a wise decision, but I am operating on a time crunch that is odds are dangerous for my mental health.
Anyway you did a great painting job nice!!!!!
That sazabi looks Beast🤑
Amazing Sazabi. Let see if papa gundam is going to GBWC 2020 (if not canceled)
For cleaning resin parts I can use just soap and warm water ? And is mr Surfacer 1500 good to use on resin ?
Keep on doing what makes you happy mate. I have no interest in gunpla but you clearly have a passion. Also its disturbing when I try to auto correct 'gunpla' it recommends plague.
what surface prime painting do you use ? mr hobby 1000 or gaia evo ?
Looks amazing DAMN
You're so cool that it doesn't matter if your cute dog causes a little shaking lol
That's a sexy AF kit, my dude.
I love this kit, but I don't deserve to build it. Awesome build.
Wow that is crazy amazing!
Wow so beautiful
THERE'S A GUNDAM DOWN HERE!
dude, is that your music at the end card?
wtf your band is so good
Yes It is my band, I'm only on youtube because we lost a recording deal & I need a place to vent my frustrations on the world lol.
@@ItsAGunpla i would have went to that live show =\ hey man at least you have our respect? (massive respect) [even tho that doesn't get girls or pay rent, i think honor is still important and lacking in the world]
Ok but it looks fucking beautiful
i wonder how many chain base set you need to build that diorama ?
Was the price you paid for the kit worth it for all the extra hastle?
What display base do you use to for that slow rotations?
This eye candy!
may we know the numbers of TAMIYA paint you used on this sazabi build?
pls make a video of how to wash the panel line on painted kit... I tried to clean but turn out its not very clean and sometime can damage the paint...
hope you can do electroplating someday, would love to see you do that man
Oh boy, and I thought the various GRADES were complicated enough, now your telling me there's upgrade kits?!
resin kits are cool and all for people who dont have much time but personally i prefer making my own customs through scratch building mainly because i then have a one of a kind that i did myself
Time is a luxuries that not all person have, resin kit is the fastest way to get a detailed kit without wasting too much time for the best results
What's the 3D printing communications like surrounding gunpla?
Will we see a painted version of the newly released MG FAZZ ver ka?
Tl;dr: You don't need soap and water after a degreaser. Dawn dish soap is a degreaser. Degreasers are degreaser. Just one is good. And don't soak. And maybe hit it with some alcohol jic before paints. Tip: vinegar is the cheapest best go to degreaser oz for oz for plastics.
Tl;jr: Anyways. Mix lil soap with warm water and equal parts vinegar for some cheap degreaser. Don't go soaking stuff like in general, and not in purple power. It's not that cheap. And it's made to fck with polymers.
And good degreasers doesn't need that much time or work. Usually no time at all. If need be level up to stronger degreasers. It goes soap, vinegar, 409/pp, spirits, thinners & solvents IMHO. IF ya want you can swipe the pieces with a microfiber till dry dry then quick wipes with alcohol isopropyl 70 is winners for preparing anything for primer. Those special metal primer paints are just acids like vinegar btw. Plus hydrocarbon cancer xylene blah blah. Xylene btw will make a decal/transfer of laser printed/xeroxed paper to most anything.
If the resin felt weak it might not be fully cured. It might need to gas out so soaking is fucking up.
Because you're likely to primer with a water based paint you want a zero oil surface. (This is just universal rules and chemistry iirc. I never done these resin kits and your gunpla game is fckn insane. I look like I'm scratch building doo doo bots and making my Barbies scissor compared to you.🙇 BUT. I did go to "art" school uni. & I've got the empty pockets to prove it.)
You can put oils over dry acrylics but never acrylic over oil. Enamels are best treated as oils. But a lot are acrylic nowadays.
Resin cast is a cured polymer plastic- like epoxy. It can be mixed and poured. Then undergoes a chemical reaction. Like cake.The reg gunpla is a heated into an injection mold but could be pressed then is cooled down and hardens into a new form. Like waffles? Once resin cures that's it usually. The styrene pla can be reshaped and recycled. Both obey the plastics rule of like sticks to like. But resin needs epoxy while pla can be dissolved in acetone. That's what the cement is. Acetone pla trash and idk lighter fluid probably. Idk if ANY of this helped or was even my place to put out there. Also instead of sanding thin resin down maybe build thin resin up with bondo spot glaze?
Soooyeeah you like u get to do this and ,I hear, just fck with twitch thots for a living?What's the best life like?
