Keep up the good work Gundam. I've been wanting to paint my kits forever and the cost and lack of knowledge if what is keeping me back. I plan to take a deep dive into this side of gunpla after I finish my Bachelors.
Speaking of Vallejo, they got a line called Mecha now, guess they figured they'd branch out into plastic robots while they were at it. Got one of their weathering paints, it's a nice nasty rust that starts as liquid then dries into a gritty dark layer of corrosion.....don't how well that stuff will do with an airbrush though.
@@AzraelExcelcis yeah even in the anime I always felt it was more for aesthetic if the pilot than anything. Considering most series relies on the cameras and sensors to identify and locate the suits rather than just purely vision. There could be some merit to camo if the suit was outfitted with something that disguises/hides it on enemy sensors so visibility would be the only way to track it
Off topic question but, I'm someone who doesnt have time to paint his kits fully (minus details and wich) would you reccomend an airbrush still for top coating kits
Those colors look rad! Real happy that your favorite hobby/therapy is getting recognition. Can' wait to see what projects will be painted with these colors.
It took 3 years for me to pick up some. I'm doing a 28mm bird person. It reminds me of the Zelda bird guy. I'm using "ice to never" for a cyan to violet transition
My father is an auto-body technician by trade, and he says that with metallics, pearls, flakes, etc., it's best to lay down many thin coats as opposed to a few thick coats. This allows for more even flake dispersion.
Sweet job, I love it. Your Gunpla videos are the perfect think to listen to while I work on my own kit. Its so layed back and mellow. Hope my Unicorn turns out all right.
hes said multiple times he doesnt think he can do it. personally id prefer he did a supercut kinda thing like jenic or LIKEGUNPLA does so that I have more of an idea on his process. Gundam has a certain way of explaining things to the layman that just makes sense to me.
i've got a few paints in sets that are beautiful, but i don't have anything to use them on. is $6 for 17ml really that expensive though? that's usually around what vallejo goes for on amazon.
Actually lacquer paint do cover alot of the painting spectrum just not under the same brand, gaianotes and mr color do have color that shift like mr crystal color
I use acrylic paints all the time and I always mix water into the paint to a milk like mix and it always looks great even with just a toothpick paint job
@@danzo5521 The website I used years ago no longer works so these days I have scrounge ebay and amazon. If the product is anywhere other than japan or Taiwan don't risk it.
That Afterburner bronze though. Imagine blending that and maybe the Purl Grey to get a heat bloom effect on something. This makes me happy in my painterly parts. [moves cushion onto lap]
Im really digging the look of these colors.. How do you feel they would do on wood? Without the black base and maybe thinned a bit, do you think some transparency is possible?
Dont feel bad I troll for paints and mini information on instagram myself. I like the turbodork paints about as much as I like the Greenstuffworld paints. Gloss black works the best. The green stuff seems to need a bit less thinning and is cheaper I guess.
Good video but I don't like the paint. I ran into several bottles that were dead. Thry came out super chunky even though it sat on a vortex mixer for a long time.
If you're looking for colourshift paints in lacquer that you might not have heard of, theres a company called SMS or Scale modellers supply. Personally, i think the colourshift stuff looks tacky, unless perhaps you restrict it to painting effect peices like beam sabres or perhaps the glowy frame type stuff.
I really just want to buy a FUCK TON of paint. past two projects I thought to myself "oh it would be nice if i could do this or this" but I try to only have the paint I expect im going to need for said project, so whenever i have an idea i just cant do it.
Papa Gundam Id love to see more tutorials from you, you explain things in a way my dumbass can understand. Also, I really wish my second airbrushed kit came out half as good as your rx78. its gonna take me a ton of practice to get decent at painting
I want to say I hate you!!!! (Just kidding) you got me back into gundam(I hate the word gunpla). Want to say I like your vids and you got me subscribed! Thank you for the hard work.
use a syphon airbrush. i was watching punished props acadamy, and he found this for his air brush....www.ebay.com/itm/10x-Dual-Action-Single-Action-Airbrush-Bottles-for-Airbrush-Kit-Glass-Plastic/182633808297?var=485193271932 those bottles are the same thread size as folk art bottles. or apple barrel from walmart or any of the cheap vendors so you could take off the bottle and use the cap on a folk art bottle in case that cheapo brand just so happen to have that color you cant find with the expensive brands... also with the syphon bottles you can store your paint in them when not using them. also if im not mistaken you can use one bottle to flush your brush easier. at least thats what im told. just a thought on airbrushes :D your the master, gundam. your the master :D
HexaGraham oh, that does sound like it would look nice on tau stuff. The color has a great attitude to it. I think a Kapool or an Anksha would look great in it.
You didn't ask to be a tiny robot painting comedian with dark biting undertones but we live in a SOCIETY.
Keep up the good work Gundam. I've been wanting to paint my kits forever and the cost and lack of knowledge if what is keeping me back. I plan to take a deep dive into this side of gunpla after I finish my Bachelors.
I’d just like to say that these GunPla videos are wholesome and refreshing
You didn't expect this. You didn't ask for this. But there is.
ItsAGunpla You didn't have to ask. The people can recognize skill when they see it
I have the whole line, super cool paints for acrylics. New colors came out and now I have to get those 🤨😅

He's got Vallejo mecha in the background on the right when he shows his paint line up.
Stupid question: what's the point of camouflage on something that would not blend into a forest anyways because it's so friggin large?
It's more of a model kit painter thing than in the actual anime.
There's even custom gunpla competitions.

@@RayFChung i think the Jestas and lotos from unicorn are the some of the few well camouflaged suits with their emphasis on stealth 🤔
The only dude I'm happy to see an ad run on any of his vids

Gundam: I don't know why people listen to me, all I do is speak eNgrIsH.
I'm going to use these to paint my daemonettes! looks awesome
Woah 16k subs, man this channel grew pretty quick.
I love this guy's monologue. "why didn't you show the little bottle?" "I don't know!"
Ahhh soothing papa Gundam
Sweet job, I love it. Your Gunpla videos are the perfect think to listen to while I work on my own kit. Its so layed back and mellow. Hope my Unicorn turns out all right.
Blue raspberry is such a cool paint
Just got a bottle of turbo dork but spaced out and didn’t get a thinner ..can I use vallejo thinner ?
Yes yes god damn yes teach me why dose this make me happy
Do the jesta homie. Looks more modern if that makes any sense with giant robots.
Gundam, what supplies did you get when you started custom painting. I'd also like to see you live stream the process of your custom painting.
hes said multiple times he doesnt think he can do it. personally id prefer he did a supercut kinda thing like jenic or LIKEGUNPLA does so that I have more of an idea on his process. Gundam has a certain way of explaining things to the layman that just makes sense to me.
Wat is the best top coat to.use on acrylic paint and for paints like turbo dork
i've got a few paints in sets that are beautiful, but i don't have anything to use them on. is $6 for 17ml really that expensive though? that's usually around what vallejo goes for on amazon.
I would say no, considering GamesWorkshop is $5 for 12ml. while Army Builder is $3 for 18ml.
Vallejo paints are a good price for what they are. Think how much use you get out of that 18ml dropper bottle. I've had some of them last me a decade.
I have to agree that these colors do look good.
@xxnike629xx Those colors do look good for your *BOX FORT*
Actually lacquer paint do cover alot of the painting spectrum just not under the same brand, gaianotes and mr color do have color that shift like mr crystal color
I use acrylic paints all the time and I always mix water into the paint to a milk like mix and it always looks great even with just a toothpick paint job
I prefer mr hobby and gaia myself, but those look nice. Is the paint at least as durable as Vallejo or tamiya?
Do you know where to buy gaia in the US?
@@danzo5521 No, i always have to get it shipped from Taiwan or Japan. some mr hobby colors are the same.
@@s13gouf60 what site do you purchase them from?
@@danzo5521 The website I used years ago no longer works so these days I have scrounge ebay and amazon. If the product is anywhere other than japan or Taiwan don't risk it.
@@s13gouf60 gotcha, thanks for the info, it was really helpful!
Some people told me that 1:1 with flow improver will make it work better.
I love this series of videos .I don't even paint Gunpla although I do collect gundams and sometimes model kits.
I am trying so hard to get these to work. they just foam up and clog my airbrush.
That Afterburner bronze though. Imagine blending that and maybe the Purl Grey to get a heat bloom effect on something. This makes me happy in my painterly parts. [moves cushion onto lap]
So I might've missed this, but did you thin these paints out a bit or did you pour it straight from the bottle on to the air brush?
Sold. I've looking for the right dark blue for my night Lord's army. Blue raspberry is perfect
God DAMN, Papa Gundam. That GM is HELLA AWESOME.
thank you for doing this ... you sold me on the paint
Im really digging the look of these colors.. How do you feel they would do on wood? Without the black base and maybe thinned a bit, do you think some transparency is possible?
Would these paints be good for a swirl paint job on a guitar: dipping the body in water?
Gundam gunpla the gundam gods have spoken in English 🙌😆
Gundam can you do a whole series of how to paint lessons please
Always appreciate your painting process videos. Looking forward your next review.
Great video , can't wait for the camouflage video. Keep up the great work
You should try the Armored Komodo Chromaflair metallic pigments. You can get them from canadian gundam. Gunpla Network has a video on them.
Your the best papa gundam, keep up the great work!
Pearly gates came out of the bottle like lotion.
I’ve been using the blue raspberry on my mg exs build, love it!
Dont feel bad I troll for paints and mini information on instagram myself.
I like the turbodork paints about as much as I like the Greenstuffworld paints. Gloss black works the best. The green stuff seems to need a bit less thinning and is cheaper I guess.
THERE'S A GUNDAM DOWN HERE!
Thats cool CAMO , been looking for a TUTORIAL for this type of camo, to use on my mdels , looking forward to the TUTORIAL thanks PAPAgun! :)
Looks amazing dude!

I cant wait for the auction!!
I really just want to buy a FUCK TON of paint. past two projects I thought to myself "oh it would be nice if i could do this or this" but I try to only have the paint I expect im going to need for said project, so whenever i have an idea i just cant do it.
tho are some sexy paint colors
try Aztek high gloss black for acrylic paint as a base.. I've had great luck with it
Oooo those look siiiick!!
Papa Gundam Id love to see more tutorials from you, you explain things in a way my dumbass can understand. Also, I really wish my second airbrushed kit came out half as good as your rx78.
its gonna take me a ton of practice to get decent at painting
Gundam for the win😎👍🏻
Wow thx this is awesome. Its really nice watching you whit out ranting you AA.. off^^
🐰🐰🐰
ITS A GUNDAM???
I want to say I hate you!!!! (Just kidding) you got me back into gundam(I hate the word gunpla). Want to say I like your vids and you got me subscribed! Thank you for the hard work.
You should start selling some of the stuff you do I know your fans would love to have a original from papa Gundam
Some kits from daddy gundam are auctionned for charity IIRC
use a syphon airbrush. i was watching punished props acadamy, and he found this for his air brush....www.ebay.com/itm/10x-Dual-Action-Single-Action-Airbrush-Bottles-for-Airbrush-Kit-Glass-Plastic/182633808297?var=485193271932

That paint is cool. I want to use it for a large canvas painting I am planning on.
Gundam could you do, and maybe this is sacrilege but, could you paint up a Gucci Gundam? Maybe a Gucci camo Gundam? That paint looks awesome.
mister metokur isnt funny
I love this paint! I am using Sweet Dreams over a dark purple base on 40k Tau stealth units... and it is shweet.
HexaGraham oh, that does sound like it would look nice on tau stuff. The color has a great attitude to it. I think a Kapool or an Anksha would look great in it.
