Some very valuable advice, I used brushes for the models and with Tamiya, Vallejo and Testor paints. I learned the importance of brushes and smooth strokes and waiting patiently for the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.

Really liked this video is there a part 2 I cant seem to find

Fantastic video, I just got into gundam and I’m ordering my first one now. Very helpful!!

Most shoe stores have boxes of those disposable footies for people trying on shoes but forgot to wear socks. Same material and texture as generic panty hose and works great for this effect.

One question about the Tamiya.. I know you mentioned the bubbles already but what about the parts that still have that wet look, even though it's completely dry? Any idea what causes that? Is it from painting too thick of a layer?

What kind of brushes do you use for tamiya paints?

thank you so much for the guide I was pretty frustrated because cant find the model part I was working for

what kind of Citadel paint are you using? There are base, layer, technical, contrast, shade, etc. What are the differences? What do you use to clean your brushes?

Thank You! Im just starting and this has been one of my biggest holdbacks is the painting. I just want to start simple and work my way up and this helps a million! Thanks for the brand name recommendations!

Wow! Thank you so much for this video! This has to be the most informative 15min video I've ever seen for commissions! I am currently interested in having a commission built and your video has given me a great amount of insight into what I should expect so again thank you for the time and effort you put into making this awesome video! I also appreciate your honesty in the pricing of doing a commission! I am happy to list my specifications for a custom painted gundam if you are still doing this type of work.

Great video I own a airbrush but dont use it very often as its a hassle to clean and switch paints im a mostly ship modeler and mainly stick to tamiya as I find it a huge pain to try and find citadel paints for my ships as the names are all fictionalized. Amazing video taught me some new stuff thanks.

Thank you

Can I use a regular brush instead of airbrush?

Great tutorial. Man that red looks like a great effect for lowrider cars too. P.s. good thing your parents used the wood spoon on ya. Prolly why you don't wear pantyhose. And take care of your wife😂. Thanks again.

I don't know. I don't wear them. 😂 awesome

Thanks for the video. Yes, not all of us can fit an airbrush into our budgets...I'll also be using craft acrylics for the same reason & from what I've seen on videos, I'll have to prime a couple of coats then 2-3 thinned paint coats handbrushing. I guess 24hrs is cure time before next coat of paint eg Deco Art Acrylics?

hello- apologies if this has already been answered, but will any brand of acrylic paints work fine with gunpla or do i NEED to buy the more expensive brand paint sets? i already have my kolinsky brand brushes, tamiya brand panel liner ink, godhand brand nippers and so on- my wallet is really feeling the pain and my wife is starting to grow concerned with my new hobby lol- im trying to save a buck where i can when i can and was wondering if any water based acrylic paint set will do or do i need citadel or whatever

Tamiya & Pint retarder. Nothing else.

Thanks from a brand new subscriber! How much time is ample time between coats? I build model cars almost exclusively, so I would appreciate any advice about brush painting a large, smooth surface, like a car body, please. Thanks again!

Do you find that citadel has better coverage or opacity that Vallejo model color?

so if did silver with a gunmetal edging id get a brighter clear coat?

Great video, i just want to ask do i need to use thinner for the tamiya acrylic paint, im planning to use the brushing technique to repaint a bus model do you have any tips on doing that?

Any recommendations or any coating to spray on the paint so it doesn’t rub off

Are all Citadel paints matt/flat?

Could you please give me the name of that pain you use for hand painting your plastic models. Also can you get this pain in Dublin Ireland?

With my OCD, I prefer the ninja for it's constant sound 🙂

Ok, stupid question, but, i'm starting to get better at airbrushing, i feel,and i have been using tamyia paints, and i LOVE them!, the question i have is, is the "clear red" paint, along with all of the other "clear" colors, already have a "clear coat" in them, like, is it the same as a final top coat, i wouldnt have to put a "clear" top coat on my model, if i use one of the clear colors? hope this question doesnt sound too confusing.

thx for the help

Can this apply to tamiya’s clear paints?

Thank you, very important video, well done, although a mistake so many you tubers make, distracting music in background not needed....

Can i use water to thin my tamiya paint?

Did you use thinner for the Tamiya paint?

Thank you so much. Just started modeling again after 40 years and doing a lot of brushing .

is it okay not to thin citadel paints like you did?

That preshade with the gunmetal then red looks so sick. Thanks man, candy colors have way more potential than I thought

did people really looking for someone to help for regular snap and build? Because that's how i know what to do so far, panel lining and sanding, nothing too fancy, and I don't have the budget for the tools to learn custom build or paint yet. I built enough HGs, RGs and MGs to learnt the basic of building Gunpla, was wondering if I can use my spare time to do some commissions.

This video was exactly the knowledge I was looking for. Thanks alot. Really.

I got brush smudges and not fully covered spots all over the model its doomed

New to the hobby and thank goodness I have somewhere to go for help

Nice Vid! May i ask did you primed the part?

Very good tips on brush painting Thanks for the video

I started doing comms for a guy I met at my local shop as he wants Gunpla to display but his age and eyesight hinders him from building so he has me do it. Since the shop owner is apart of this operation he handles the money. However this case is special cause I’m selling a PGU and the guy wants to buy it and have me build it. And since the shop isn’t involved I don’t know what to charge. He liked the MG Dom I did for him, gloss coat painted weapons and panel lines, small details painted and nub removal and that was $80 Canadian. What’s a good asking price to build the PGU built with just basic panel lines. I’m not a pro but I’m definitely not a beginner. Would appreciate some insight. Thanks :)

are you using water to clean your brush after using the tamiya paints ? i ask this because i always have difficulty with adding water to them as i have always been led to believe that they are solvent based and not water based paints

Hello, thank you for your videos, education, and tips; I am returning to the hobby after an absence; I am primarily a Brush by Hand painter and scale modeller; There are so so many brands of paints and types (Enamel, Water Acrylic, Solvent Acrylic, Laquer) in today's marketplace. May you have a preferred recommendation (or two) of which brand to seriously consider for my painting future?

those are good tips, thanks. I'm just getting back into model building and haven't got an air brush kit yet. I've gotten good results brush painting with Revell Aqua Color and Vallejo Model Air paints.

I know this was from two years ago, just found it. Thank you for the very interesting video. I have two airbrushes but one needs to know how to brush with brushes. Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada

Get the rg !

Where's the FG (First Grade)?

Does Real Grades have cockpit and pilot figure? What about the 1/100 Non-Grade?

Great video but I don't see any part 2 or 3 in your video collections 3 years later?
