I’m glad you left in the mistakes with the glue gun and how you solved it. Most videos are too preoccupied with looking perfect to teach anything useful.
Thanks. I'm trying to be authentic as possible and let you all be part of the journey. There is still so much to learn and to try out. I appreciate your comment bro.
Love to see a gunpla kit go way beyond what you get in the box. I've always wanted to do that, was great to see the whole process and the final result. Well done mate
This video truly put a fire in me, and i began my own journey through this wonderful world of gunpla because of this video, and your customization videos really really helped 🙏❤️ You may not consider yourself a professional, but sir you have some AMAZING Talent and a way with words ❤️ please do not stop creating 🙏😊 You are an inspiration to me 💜💜 Your kempfer build and the Eva build especially were some of my favorite builds ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you a lot for your kind words and for checking out my videos. As of now there is no intention of stopping. More builds and more videos will follow. Keep your eye peeled. And enjoy your Gunpla journey :)
over the last few days, you have quickly become one of my favorite channels. it is kind of strange you don't have more subscribers but I guess it will only be a matter of time.
Such kind words. If I'm honest, yes of course I'd be happy if the channel grows. But comments like yours make it so much more worthwhile. I appreciate the sentinement :)
R.I.P Char, you will be remembered as our red comet (moment of silence). Love the channel man! I've been building Gunpla for 15 years and just now got into painting them, seeing your process and progress is fun and fuels the fire a little to go for it. So, paints are ordered and my brushes are inbound. Keep doing your thing! Looking forward to your future builds
I do believe he is one of the best anime villains out there. Just talking about him makes me want to rewatch The Origin show. Which kit are you planning on painting? 15 years must have racked up quite a huge collection of kits.
This is the first video I have watched of yours and the Mario Kart Edit alone won my sub over right away. You are very talented at Gunpla and I enjoyed this, thank you.
Haha, I'm always happy whenever someone notices and appreciates the edits/trick shots. So I know it's worthwhile putting in the effort. Thank you for watching :)
Nah man... You're doing great.... It's a part of the learning process... If you hit you're good but if you missed at least you learned something.... Keep it up.... Your vids are very informative....
Another great build, man. That looks absolutely fantastic! Well done. Nice of you to include the failures as well, because we all do them. Makes the video more real and relatable, hehe. I am surprised how well your marker and sponge method worked. Looks pretty amazing actually.
Trial and error that is all you can do. You think something might work and you find out it doesn't so you go back to the drawing board. I am glad you left this in to show that all of these people on here are not perfect when they build. They make mistakes.
Thanks for noticing. With editing there is so much that one can do to hide imperfections. But I'm of the opinion that showing the process in itself is the most valuable way to learn.
You’re very talented and very funny too. Sharing wonderful results and also your own (little) mistakes is so honest and useful for everyone!! Keep on like that!
Thank for the nicely edited video! I needed some inspiration for an explosion for my W40 Imperial Knight. Turned out very nice! Alternative for the glue-gun: I intertwined the individual rods at the peak of the bulb - worked fine too!
Thanks, glad you could take something away from it :) "Can't find" as in "can't find a shop to order from?" If you're looking for the exact product, it's the Real Touch Marker Grey 3.
This was a nicely don diorama, I do have a tip, You might want to invest in some 2 part epoxy putty. It's great for scratch building and for hold things in place like the rod that you hot glued.
Hey thank for stopping by and checking out my channel :) well the package says they are useful for any kinds of dirt and such. The product was not located in the make up section. I think the squishy sponge thingie ones you are referring to are made of a different material. I can't recall the name of the product, but I've seen make up artists use them to apply concealer.
@@GiantRobolove Thanks! I have that make-up sponge, but it didn't really suck up oil washes, just smeared. Looks like it's a different thing, so I'll give it a try!
So for the weathering effect we know theres gunk and all those dirt effects but i think there should ve some silver/chrome scratches if its metal at least at the edges or atleast in inner frames i m trying some experiments but if u find a better way to do it i would be glad if u can show everyone cuz even with matt and weathering it still doesnt give effect of a heavy metal machinery for me atleast
Hey that's a good point. Honestly, I purposefully didn't try an metallic, because I went for the rust. But yeah technically there should be some metallic parts. I'll put some time into research and testing and then in the future I'll come back to this topic.
@@GiantRobolove i looked at pics of military vechicles crashed cars on roads and metal plates used for shooting for reference for how metal is after going through all that
so your letting the real touch marker do the panel lining as well as its weathering effect? Shouldn't I panel line first? Or should it be after painting?
I think you can do it both ways. However, if you want to do it after painting, seal your kit with a varnish first. Otherwise you would wipe away all the weathering colors with the panel line ink thinner.
Yeah, pls do, it's not too difficult and the effect is really nice. I used regular Christmas LED lights. Maybe if you search for "decoration LED" you might also find good products.
I actually intended for this to be the kick, but bailed on it, because the scale of the diorama was too huge. I might do it in the future. Lol yeah, that Zeta ending was rad!
Yeah, I think it won't happen for a while. But then again, Bandai's decision for new kits or iterations are always a bit weird. I totally did not expect an RG Epyon haha
@@GiantRobolovewell won't surprise they may tho, there r less new MG kits per year now... they kinda focus on new series HG or RG now. i guess the 1/144 size are more friendly to store in show case and ppl love them lol will kinda expect Epyon bc wing got RG, i wonder what next
Hey, these are regular decoration LEDs that you would use for christmas decorations for example. I don't even know if they have a specific name. I got mine at a dollar store, I suppose that's what you call those kind of shops.
Mine has become sticky at certain spots as well, it just doesn't show on camera. So I start with at at least 30cm, depending on the color. For black I would go even further away, because a bit of black can go a long way. You can always build up slowly. Thin coats and your patience are the key ;)
When I started out, I watched a lot of Andrew Kramer (Videocopilot), mt. mograph, ecabrams and EJ Hassenfratz (eyedesyn). As of late I've been a fan of Ben Marriott. I'd suggest you pick any beginner tutorial on After Effects on RUclips to get a basic understanding of the program. And once you got that down, look for tutorials for a certain effect that you want to achieve. This way you learn as you go and grow with each project.
I’m glad you left in the mistakes with the glue gun and how you solved it. Most videos are too preoccupied with looking perfect to teach anything useful.

Looks great. But with some boosters effects on his feet and back I think it would look better. Great job
Oh yes, good call! I will keep that in mind for next time. Thanks!

Both of your dioramas are so inspiring and the videos are so informative. I can't wait to see the next one.

Bro…..did you make that intro? Dear LORD that’s brilliant!!!!
Hey thanks a lot, happy to see that you appreciate the effort that went into it. I hope to do more of that stuff in the future.

That brain fart was so stupid 😅 Yeah, those markers are really nice. I wonder how an oil wash would look like. Definitely going to try that one day.
The best diorama ever
Thanks bro. Wait for the next one 😁

Loved the intro AND the reveal at the end, looks amazing! makes me want to make my own diorama now
Thanks Johnny. Let me know how it went when you do.
@@GiantRobolove , we'll see how it goes!
This is the absolute coolest!! I can't wait to see what you build next and to learn how to build alongside you and your videos!!
Thank you so much for those kind words. Loving the journey so far :)
Love the new intro, and i am working on my MG barbatos diorama now.
Thanks, creating that intro was so enjoyable. Hey that's nice. I hope things are going smoothly :)
You’re very talented and very funny too. Sharing wonderful results and also your own (little) mistakes is so honest and useful for everyone!! Keep on like that!
Thank you for your kind words. The next video is right around the corner :)
This is so impressingly good! I asked myself how construction foam (Bauschaum) would look as an explosion.
Good idea! I'll take a look into this 👍
wow thank you for sharing your work, such an amazing result, i always wanted to know how to make these kind of scene, now i know 👍
Haha yeah, in the end it's so simple. Thank you for watching :)

great work as always 🙂
Thanks for checking out my videos and the support!
always,🙂

waw, c'est de la bombe !!!👏👏👏
Merci!
Absolute banger content! Great video and even greater diorama!
Much love!!!
Thanks my friend!
Thank you for sharing this video, the diorama turned out amazing
Thank you for your comment and the compliment :)
Absolutely amazing work!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a bunch Andrew!
One could use a glass straw as the beam from a beam cannon if they wanted a concentrated beam
That's a pretty neat idea 💯
Truly impressive work! Ingenuity and creativity to create a visually compelling story.
Such kind words
This video is awesome and very informative. I cannot for the life of me find that marker you used in the beginning for the weathering
Thanks, glad you could take something away from it :) "Can't find" as in "can't find a shop to order from?" If you're looking for the exact product, it's the Real Touch Marker Grey 3.
@@GiantRobolove ahhhhhh I see now, thank you very much. Your videos have helped me to start customizing my own models. I love your video editing too!
It's an incredible piece of work 👍
The way you make it is cool, too.
I enjoyed watching it :)
Thank you a lot. Glad you liked it :)
You should do a beam rifle weapon effect next time!! There's this stuff called el wire that would do awesome
YES! Bro I'm not kidding, I have this one idea for a led filament project in my head for the longest time. It will be one of the next dioramas.
As always, a very good produced video
Thank you, I'm happy you like it :D
This is so cool
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I'll put it on my list and try it out next time :) any brand recommendations?
Is that… Gestaltungsgips?! Really nice video and great result.
The one and only Gestaltungsgips 😄 thank you my friend 🙏
Can you please tell us about your video editing skill progression? It’s insane!
Awesome build!
Hey, thanks a bunch. My day job revolves around editing and motion design/animation ;)
I’m lucky I found your channel and I’m loving the content so far. What camera do you use to get such crisp close ups?
Great paintjob and, that explosion effect is superb! This melamine sponge is what used for make ups too?

This is absolutely immaculate!! Can you put a link to where you got the Tamiya Gundam marker? I can’t find one anywhere 😭😭
Thank you! It's tough to recommend something, since I don't know where you're from.

nice, next will be Chars kick
i can't wait to see someone rich enough to punch a hole in MG The O for MG Zeta Gundam Ver Ka last sense 🤣🤣
I actually intended for this to be the kick, but bailed on it, because the scale of the diorama was too huge. I might do it in the future. Lol yeah, that Zeta ending was rad!
@@GiantRoboloveThe o is so expensive n no reprint yet... lol
Yeah, I think it won't happen for a while. But then again, Bandai's decision for new kits or iterations are always a bit weird. I totally did not expect an RG Epyon haha
@@GiantRobolovewell won't surprise they may tho, there r less new MG kits per year now... they kinda focus on new series HG or RG now. i guess the 1/144 size are more friendly to store in show case and ppl love them lol
will kinda expect Epyon bc wing got RG, i wonder what next
Let's see. Bandai will do an announcement in a couple of days.
Where did you get those kind of LEDs, and what specific name are they? Thanks.
Hey, these are regular decoration LEDs that you would use for christmas decorations for example. I don't even know if they have a specific name. I got mine at a dollar store, I suppose that's what you call those kind of shops.
How far away, in cm, you stay from the cotton for coloring? I use the same paint, but my cotton became sticky and no light comes through.
Mine has become sticky at certain spots as well, it just doesn't show on camera. So I start with at at least 30cm, depending on the color. For black I would go even further away, because a bit of black can go a long way. You can always build up slowly. Thin coats and your patience are the key ;)
Where did u learn to do that manga intro
I'm a motion graphics designer, so these things a practically my daily bread and butter work ;)
@@GiantRobolove any course or resource u might wanna recommend who wants to learn motion graphics

What is this that you use on your foam 13:39
I was using some regular plaster that you can buy at Home Depot.
@@GiantRobolove thank you!
Why you gotta do Yamcha dirty like that :(
Haha, couldn't help it 😬
