So many steps, so much effort. And all worth it. The outcome is subtle, yet effective and believable. I saw this decal technique in a video a while back and thought it's worth a shot. I take it you did 5 very thin layers?
@johnnymechahand12 күн бұрын
Thanks my friend! I think I know the video you are talking about. It was so good that I wanted to try it. I did 5 wet layers on the decal.

Intentionally ruining a kit is satisfying if not nerve racking. The end result is always a surprise.
@mordeshkaiser11 күн бұрын
"You have to ruin it first before you can fix it" is what I always have to remind myself of when I slather a wash all over it, ya just gotta trust the process! Most excellent work my mans, crazy just how much went into it & that decal sanding trick I'd never seen before, the outcome is 100% worth the effort!
@johnnymechahand11 күн бұрын
@mordeshkaiser That is a good mindset and really just trust the process. Thank you my dude. It looks really! Just not sure it'll be worth it on every decal like on a ver. Ka. 😆

Yeah the poseability is great but the lack of poly caps really bugs me, like what if I'm one of those people who like to do customs and kit bashes and making scratch builds sometimes you need poly calves because your ability to make plastic on plastic joints doesn't work that well
@johnnymechahand26 күн бұрын
I get that sentiment. I am recently trying more kitbashing for personnal projects and having polycaps is much simpler than trying to figure out how to make different joints work.

Please do custom HG RX-78-2 1/144 ORIGIN where the shoulder part would be similar to the RG RX-78-2 1/144 so that it can do the "last shot" pose without the awkward shoulder pad position. Haven't found this one online yet.

i don't like bandai's dry decals. they are too thick and no amount of top coat can hide them. the rub on decals are very difficult to apply because there is no space between the decals to cut and then secure onto the space i am generally okay with the water slide decals but have handling issues with the bigger pieces like the shield crest of the sazabi.
@johnnymechahandАй бұрын
I agree completely. Bandai waterslides are ok, the larger ones give the most problem. It's like you have a time limit after getting them off the paper.

This is an amazing build. With how often Pbandai pushes clear kits on us. I'm glad to see you doing something awesome with one. I like how you painted the under armor bits too. Reminds me of your Deathscythe. The paint you used. Mr. Crystal Color. Do you find that it changes the color of the overall piece? Or does it just add the green effect while viewing from an angle? Great work and I'm happy to wait in-between vids because you always deliver
@johnnymechahandАй бұрын
Thank you my bro. The green effect is definitely more pronounced on certain angles but the Mr Crystal color does not change the overall color of the piece unless you spray it really thick, then the base color becomes paler and paler. I appreciate the kind words man, truly!

Amazing work on this project man! The pattern you chose to showcase the regeneration of the armor was very tastefully done without taking away from the main armor pieces, a very balanced build! There are so many take aways from this video I will want to pick your brain about but I am most definitely inspired to create a mini dio. You executed that base so well and the painting of the nebula was a master piece alone!
