Amazing build! I just placed an order for the same product but different set. Would you mind to share where to purchase the LED light please?

[@K.buildingthings]

Hi there, thanks for watching the video. i got my LEDs off Shoppee. they come from china but unfortunately the previous seller no longer actice. There are other product avaiable , you can try searching " wired SMD LED" Size 0402 or Size 0603 . I paid roughly $5 for 20 wired LED. You can also try those robotics sellers on amazon, they might carry these product too.

Hello, just wanted to ask if the CG domain base compatible with VT domain base, comparing to other videos the VT is more suitable for 1/144 scale and a bit smaller in other videos as I compare it. Thanks.

[@K.buildingthings]

@@MercyRabbit nope I both are same scale.. the whole base can fit RG up to PG depending on how big you build it .. accessories doesn’t really matter .. Base on another builder have used VT and CG. He recommended to use CG because better fitment . instagram.com/p/COqfEn6DOAR/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

[@misakiimoe3037]

thank for your video awesome , but how to shading base like you ? black -> gray -> white right ?😃

[@K.buildingthings]

For the base since is not something your eyes would focus on. So you can skip the preshade and straight do a base color (this case is black) then follow with highlights (the two shade of grey )

[@Kingronthegreat]

subbed i wish i am this talented and have time to paint/decal hahah, but i do have 10 of these sitting in the backlog

[@K.buildingthings]

You can .. it takes awhile to set it up .. 10 is just nice . Why don’t just set it up as a display first . When you decided to start painting you can work one 1 set first and test things out . Slowly progress from there

[@Jtejido]

They are normally labelled Unit A to K..may I know how many of each you purchased?

[@K.buildingthings]

I got total of 12 sets , so basic A-H set 1 each and additional 2 F and 1 B 1G, you can mix and match any kind of combination you like as long the wall backing are correct.

[@Jtejido]

Thanks! Now I know what to buy..geez their instructions are downright confusing for me (for fitting 5-6 MG) :D

[@K.buildingthings]

@@Jtejido depends how you plan to lay things out .. for me each block is 15cm x 15cm just nice for a MG . But will look very tight if you put one each . So I only made space for 5 and the rest are for the hangar bay accesories

[@Jtejido]

Thanks mate!

[@Jtejido]

Will ordering 1 decal enough for those?or is it safe to get 2

[@dennistee2555]

Amazing job bro! i want some suggestion. May i know where i can get third party 1:64 maintenance crew? Bandai 1/100 is too small for my PG . Thanks alot.

[@K.buildingthings]

hi there i just notice i never got around replying to your comment. For this build i was using the 1:100 scale version from bandai. But if you want to use it for PG, 1:64 scale will be the best , generally these can be found from those Hotwheel or scale car collectors hobby store for their diorama. Those high detail ones are usually resin printed and dont come cheap

[@md.faesalfaesal6356]

Nice work but wheathering are bit unusual for hanger for realistic look..overall love ur airbl brushing

[@K.buildingthings]

yea , this whole build was experimental all the way. so there are a lot of things are my first time . weathering was mainly used to fill up panel lines the lazy way..

[@wuh607]

Hi Marquis.. I only connect them directly to a 3v battery pack. No resistor

wow! realy great build! looking for the vt crane you mentioned but could't find them on the i-net! do you have a link (ebay or amazone?)? i come from germany so international delivery is necessary... THX...

[@K.buildingthings]

Hey there .. they cranes are not sold separately .. they come as an accessory with the CG domain base . I bought mine at the local hobby store. If you can't find "CG domain base" on your online store can try the original product which is "kotobukiya mechanical chain base"

[@ctmchong6775]

I so like this domain base style,I myself started making a base with your style as standard,may I ask you The micro smd led can using by rgb controller?? How to connect it ??

[@K.buildingthings]

@ctm Chong . The RGB is from a tea light candle set I got from MRDIY store instead of a micro SMD led... then use optic fiber cable to transfer the lights over to the runway.. The only SMD led I used are the one on the cage &the back of the base

[@gracemegumi9181]

Hi, Your video is perfect, I learnt a lot from your video, Thank you very much for sharing how to build a domain base! I would like build my domain base but wanna to use my 1/60 PG Gundam, not a 1/100, a little bit biggest size, so I want to ask a few more question about that. Do you think the CG domain base Staircase and Corridor also match for the 1/60 figure, like some of the maintenance? I just a bit worry about the scale. About the colour paint for the whole base, if I want to do spray paint the colour like mechanical metallic. Which colour you recommend? And I saw from 5:34 to 6:00, which colour you were using? The colour just look very similar with photo-etched sheets and I love that! Sorry to ask too much but im just new and love to learn more! 🙏

[@K.buildingthings]

@grace megumi , let me tackle few of your question . 1. if you planning to do a PG size, you can still a PGU into a two floor of the Domain base , but if you planning to fit a PG Unicorn, then it will be slightly over two floors 2. the CG staircase it is modular. so you can actually swith around panels to make it a giant 1 floor stair case like what your see @7:42 or even stack it up to a 2 floor stairs. Dont worry so much about the scale as it is actually big for a 1/100 scale . (you probably cant tell but the Engineer figures are 1/144 and many ppl use them in PG as well) 3. The colors, im mainly using airbrush to paint them. Not really an expert in spray can, but , going with Gun metal / Grey would give that industrial look to the base. as for the metalic colors i was using is from a chinese brand JUMPWIND. hope i manage to answer your questions. If you have more , dont shy away and go aheasd and ask.

May i ask a bit more about Thinner, after I did panel line for my gundam, I try to use very little SMS Premium Thinner with cotton swabs to brush the part of the line out of bounds. But after I brush I saw like a glue conjunctiva on the surface and cannot clean it.... Is that SMS Premium Thinner different from the X20 Thinner? I am first to use this ...🙏

[@K.buildingthings]

@@gracemegumi9181 are you using tamiya panel line ? If yes then just use x20 or zippo lighter fluid.. Googled sms thinner . Is lacquer . Lacquer is stronger than enamel will remove all.

nice tips and tricks, that set of hangar base for MG is costs same with a brand new Wing Zero verka kit in my country, do u think its worth?

[@K.buildingthings]

it really depends what you looking for. if you only have limted tools , then buy the Wing Gundam, becuase the kit whitout painting looks very plain . i used total of 12 box to create this scene, and total with LED extra accessories and painting is surely enough to buy a PG zaku.

[@toybal6561]

hi toy bal. i power them with 2x AA size battery match with battery holder that you usually can get at those robotic hobby store, my older project salvage the holders from abandon toys

[@dadofamadhouse4194]

Great work and awesome video! Do you have a slowed down or non-speed build version? There are some parts when weathering the accessories that I'd like to see your technique on in normal speed cuz the video went so fast. And do you have a link for the crane you mentioned needing to buy from VT by chance? Amazing job!!

[@K.buildingthings]

It’s nearly impossible not to speed up the video . Else the video be at least 50 hour long . You let me know which section you wan and I try check if I recorded it using timelapse or not. If I have it on normal speed I don’t mind sharing it . DM me on Facebook. Weathering was pretty much using Mr weathering and then removing it with lighter fluid .

hi there is no limit to how many base you can connect , and the back panel is about 15cm heigh , so having 2 floors will be around 30cm usually ppl go max of 3 floor because there are not many kit taller than 45cm. If you have further question can message me directly on my IG same user name
