Building a Scale Model: Tamiya Suzuki RGV-Gamma 1/12

[@JunsMiniGarage]

These builds are very therapeutic, it’s more than just watching someone build a plastic model kit, it’s like going through a therapy section, it calms down the mind. It‘a very relaxing.

[@LeoNelBuilds]

Yes, and actually being the one building it is even more therapeutic

[@ScaleVehicles]

The funny part is that Jun’s is also a great KZbinr with awesome builds!

[@miaouew]

Hey! Its you, I watch your channel too! You, Ziggy, A4 Garage and some others, you all do amazing jobs on these models

[@ramanjeet1111]

well said sir

[@mufidhadi8936]

no weird music, no chit chat, amazing work >> definitely subscribe

[@peterverhelst9594]

I was waiting for you to start filling the fluids…😄😉👍🏼

[@miaouew]

Once again, it looks like a Real Vehicle. I love watching these.

[@wilseph1]

I appreciate this. No talking. No music. Just give us that work! I sussscribed to this channel.

[@taodej]

your builds are true art from beginning to end. you have a level of organization that could only produce the high level models you do. This is an art form itself(your organization). much love

[@peterwalker6868]

I'm a ship, plane & tank man myself, but having just watched your video it's a motorbike for me next. Stunning build, thanks for sharing. 👍

[@davidharrison6321]

This guy knows how to put together a build video. Ultimate satisfaction. Every shots a money shot. Thank you!

[@faizizz4062]

Oh my God, this video. The closeup shots, the clanking and falling plastic sounds. It makes me think that modelers ASMR should be a thing. Very satisfying to watch :D

[@manuelnieblas1068]

Dude, you have to be the most patient and steady person there’s ever been on earth, so much talent ✌🏼

[@loutubesing3213]

best part of these videos is always the paint, the finish you get is so lovely

[@juliancunliffe7862]

Oh man. You've got some patience. Absolutely stunning.

[@ghostpro1293]

This channel will blow up but for now I’ll enjoy it being quite. Beautiful camera angles so we can get the full experience.

[@msz6510]

Decal job is just insane extreme pro....Congrats of skills and patience...

[@YouTubeSafetyTroll]

If I understood correctly, that Castrol Tom's JGTC Supra was your first scale model build. Your skill far exceeds what would be expected at your experience level. Are you an artist or something? Dentist? Microbiologist? Taxidermist? Watchmaker? Hahaha. Where have you transferred all of these skills from!? Keep it up. KZbin needs more skilled automotive modellers, especially ones who go beyond the simple out of box build.

[@dennissinned6299]

TAMIYA : Best models ever. very precise and perfect fits. Very easy to put together, i know, i've build quite a lot of Tamiya's models. Forget Airfix, Revel and i don't know what else is out there these days.

[@paulwarren1173]

You’re brilliant. Insane level of detail.

[@MkII502]

bro i was building tamiya's things not actual modes tho,but cars back when i was 10-15 YO (AND OFCRS NOT THAT HARD.) and u reminded me allmost all my childhood and im looking forward to get some of thease REAL awasome models to work on! miss thease things.!! keep up bro wanna see more models in your hands to lern from you and get ideas!! :) KEEP IT UP!

[@ZiggysDesk]

Thank you 😊

[@riton2982]

Hi. Great work!!! Just a question about fork tubes gold area (@4:53 for example). It seems to be perfectly slick. How do you obtain this? Because with metal paint, I never obtain such a result. Do you cover the paint with gloss varnish? Thanks

[@ZiggysDesk]

Are you using acrylic or lacquer paint? I did not clear coat or anything, just painted straight onto the piece. You might have to check your paint mixing or thinner ratio in the airbrush if it’s coming out with a rough texture

[@riton2982]

@@ZiggysDesk Hi. I have Tamiya X12 & X31. No airbrush. Only brush. Maybe that's the reason.... :) :) But if it's quite easy to obtain a slick surface with "no metallic" paint, even with a brush, no good result with metallic paint from my side... :-/

[@ZiggysDesk]

@@riton2982 Ah okay thats more difficult to do. You can try thinning the paint more, I don't do much brush painting so I probably can't help you there

[@steviedee71]

Awesome video I love how you show the techniques 👍

[@CurvedSlightly]

When you painted the BREMBO logo I was like, DUUDE! Then, I was like DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE...

[@CurvedSlightly]

I'd have liked to have seen some braided for the brake hoses as it's a race bike.

[@sonotover]

Can you describe how you painted the inside of the fairings black. What paint did you use, did you do it before or after you finished the outside. Any tricks to masking off the outside? Thanks!

[@shaney765]

Well job done. Amazing in every way. Great eye for detail and finish was spot on.👍👍👍👍👍

[@BlakeGriffith]

Freakin insane! The level of talent and patience is just incredible. LOVE the videos. Would love to see a NASCAR build 😎

[@ryanliu9788]

[@fernc3502]

Great build! I have building tamiya bikes since the 80's. They are quality kits. Nice clean work on the tank decals, looks like a seamless paint job. My two favorite builds are the Honda NR 750 and Bimota Tesi. The front steering on the Tesi was way ahead of it's time. Try building it when you get a chance.

[@ZiggysDesk]

Thanks Fern! I’ll keep my eye out for those 2

[@eugenerudman]

I've been trying to find a Tamiya NR 750 for ages - seems scarcer than hen's teeth atm. hopefully they'll do a re-release soon...

Beautiful bike and nicely builded. I just received my first bike kit also today. Thanks for sharing.

[@ZiggysDesk]

Thanks George! Which kit did you get?

[@ThatMofoDamon]

@@ZiggysDesk well to be totally honest I bought the cheapest i could find. A honda nsr500 from tamiya #14099 are you familiar with it?

[@ZiggysDesk]

Nice I like that one! Haven’t built it myself, but it looks like a great kit to start on 👍🏻

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Belo trabalho!...também já montei esse kit!...os decais geralmente quebram com facilidade!... Parabéns!

[@DerbiS6_by_loulou]

Hello, I have the same model but I don't have the material to paint. To make the model, do you absolutely have to paint?

[@eugenerudman]

nice build! i built this kit back around 1990, when my skills were pretty poor. bought the same kit again recently, and hoping to do it justice this time around. and subbed. :D

[@ZiggysDesk]

Nice! Take your time on the decals, the rest of the kit goes pretty smoothly though and thanks for the sub!

[@canicetang8837]

I think you meant 2000. This Suzuki GP was during the Kenny Roberts Junior during the 1999 season. He won the World Championship with the same bike, but with Telefonica Movistar sponsorship in 2000. It is a really nice kit indeed.

[@eugenerudman]

@@canicetang8837 you are right, my memory is clearly starting to slip lol

[@canicetang8837]

@@eugenerudman That's alright. I actually have that kit and the 2000 Kenny Roberts Junior winning kit as well. For the 1999 season, I will use it as a base and also got the Studio 27 transkit for the 1993 Kevin Schwantz's World Title winning 'Pepsi' version. It is essentially the same bike with different body parts that's all. So Ziggy used Scale Motorsport's Photo-etched kit as well. Your imagination can do anything with detailing, various versions and even transkit too. But that depends how crazy you want and how much your wallet can afford as well hahaha.

[@eugenerudman]

@@canicetang8837 I'm quite happy to get a little crazy, especially with bike kits! two more great kits in my stash are the Fujimi RGV XR-74 1988, for which I also got the original Lucky Strike Schwantz sponsor decals. and most recently (in fact, the day before lockdown started in my country), I got the new Hasegawa GSX-R 750G 1986, which is a kit I've been hoping for for years, as I used to own one ;-)

are u painting the disc brakes with an airbrush or brush?

[@tinooverbeeke955]

Hey Ziggy, I was wonderding with what substance you are removing the excess red paint after painting the ‘Brembo’ letters. And are you using the normal Tamiya acrylic x-7 or the tamiya laqcuer paint x-7?

[@ZiggysDesk]

Tino Overbeeke I used tamiya enamel, and it was zippo lighter fluid for cleanup. It works on the enamel but doesn’t eat through the clear coat under

[@pepsi4991]

since when do you get PE parts like that in a tamiya ? :) Nice video btw

[@LaMaSt]

Doing the same model. Applying the decals is horror, espacially at roundings like Cockpit. How do you get this so tight, without wrinkles? I'm using decal softer, but it's always a struggle and the result ... Do you have any tips or useful tutorials?

[@GetStuffed1]

Was surprised you didn’t use any Tamyia black panel line accent👍

[@sandeepsagar5506]

great great i think even the maker could'nt do the justice great and great patience ....

[@MyPeacock1]

If I donated a kit to the show for build would you consider? And as painful as it is to ask that I may eventually see the kit again built the way Tamiya intended? The complexity is intimidating and I was unable to commit, sold only the airbrush but yet my small collection grew and similar to those on your channel. I learned parts I thought were dry brushed are not and photo etch looks very difficult, just like the instructions did 25 years ago. Now I only need to preserve the decals. Thank you for sharing what others would not.

[@ZiggysDesk]

Hey Edward, what kit is it?

[@MyPeacock1]

@@ZiggysDesk well depending on which you enjoy should have a complete Ducati 888 SBK to the Yamaha YZR500 straight run rider (wanted to do Roberts). Then F1 Williams FW24 this one is pretty awesome. Also another favorite the FW11 Honda (Red 5 was planned) then "The Cat" Jaguar XJR-9LM Silk Cut. DTM Schneider of course Mercedes CLK Team D2 entire decal this one. I have the Porsche 911 GT1 beautiful scheme. I have a few more then would need to check sprues etc due to moving a lot or where it was purchased and handled while in route. I'll try and keep an eye the notifications. Was up late watching more of your builds learning a lot.

[@MyPeacock1]

Oh and might be picking up a 1/12 Lotus original from 70's in great shape the box not so much found nearly being given away. Not sure which just know it's JPS scheme of course, but can't recall.
