CLEAN RESIN PARTS - How to Panel Line, Putty, Sand | Resin Basics 03 | SD Resin Jesta WIP

[@frostedsnow]

I'm so proud of this video in particular. Resin is not as popular as plastic kits, but even with less views, this resin basics series was something I wish existed back when I was looking for a tutorial with full chronological steps on it. I also feel like I've improved in the production side of things as well. Do you feel the same? Also, I wanted to announce it somehow, but as you must have noticed, I've recently been monetized! It was definitely only possible with your help, and the income helps justify the time I spend on everything required to make these videos. I've hit so many milestones lately on KZbin, and I'd just like to shout out with a huge thank you for your support

[@michaelgeracie9228]

Congratulations! Just found your channel and it's rekindling the love I had for the hobby as a kid (though I was all about Star Trek models!). Subscribed!

[@frostedsnow]

@@michaelgeracie9228 That's so awesome to hear! Enjoy the gunpla hobby :)

[@KrisHomemadeBaking]

Your passion for resin kits are making me want to buy one. I've built a resin conversion kit last year but it didn't turn out so well because I'm not good at it yet, but with your tutorials I feel like I can be more open to trying another resin

[@themeatpopsicle]

I think your tutorial style and the way you explain things is really excellent! It's easy to understand and full of the little nuances that are important when they add up. Thank you!!

[@justindavisphotography]

Well deserved success I sure it will continue.

[@casuallycompetitivecwiss9321]

that magnet antennae is a great idea!

[@michaelc8246]

Thank you for all the videos. I just discovered your channel. I am fortunate to live in Japan. I look forward to more videos.

[@frostedsnow]

Glad you like them! Jealous for living in Japan!

I just got into gunpla building and have been binging on tutorial videos. I must say, yours are the absolute best I have come across. Your attention to detail and clear and concise explanations of your methods are absolutely incredible. You would be my #1 recommendation to anyone looking for gunpla building tutorials. Keep up the great work!

[@frostedsnow]

What an awesome compliment. Thank you. Glad you like them!

[@TubeLikeIts1999]

I got into the hobby world last year and videos like these have helped me progress and improve a lot. Your tutorials are very informative; you guys seem to be really passionate about it. Thanks for taking the time to do this; I'm sure this is really helpful to a lot of people.

[@frostedsnow]

It's a great time to get into the hobby when videos like these are more available. Thank you for your awesome msg :)

[@christopherkelly9153]

Thank you for making this video! Your videos are super informative. I didn't know much about resin kits and this was great. More important to me is your panel lining. This was exactly what I was looking for.

[@frostedsnow]

Right! I remember your request and tried to be a bit more detailed with it.Cheers!

[@justindavisphotography]

I really enjoy your videos. Excellent for learning when you are new to modeling like me.

[@frostedsnow]

Plastic kits will be easier to start off with though! Enjoy :)

[@mavrickjubei7124]

Have been putting off trying my first resin kit for a while but I am slowly giving it a go and following your tutorials one video at a time haha hope more tutorials come out soon

[@frostedsnow]

Awesome! The next Jesta video will just be a full build of the jesta being completed, cuz after this, it's like painting a regular plastic kit, just with more masking!

Thank you so much!

[@K.buildingthings]

Great tutorial ... I still haven’t dare to buy & try resin kit.. but these tutorial really help prep me before I get my first GK

[@frostedsnow]

Glad you are considering it :)

[@K.buildingthings]

frostedsnow problem is resin kit is much more expensive than Bandai plastic kits and we don’t have 2nd hand market in Malaysia (or at least I don’t know yet)

[@frostedsnow]

@@K.buildingthings They are hard to find. Maybe purchase online?

[@KrisHomemadeBaking]

I still haven't seen your full tutorial but that Nightingale SD resin kit is 🔥 🔥 🔥 Edit just saw the whole video. I didn't realize you had to sand multiple times. That explains why my first try at resin didn't turn out so well. Thanks for the tip!

[@frostedsnow]

No worries! The nightingale is my fav SD resin kit. Yeay! Thanks for watching. It's just loads and loads of sanding T_T

[@frannyfranfrancis]

I want to do a resin kit so bad! The amount of work put into building it really shows up when the kit is completed! We dont have too much choose from in the US! Mostly Ebay but their are two or three online stores.

[@frostedsnow]

Efforts always show up! Right, hard to come by. Can you get stuff shipped to you these days? Maybe check out Museigen Hobby :)

[@MrTsufeng]

Thanks:)It's a very useful video.So much work:)

[@frostedsnow]

No probs! It is 😂😂😂

[@unclephilipps674]

Awesome tutorial... Always forget to wash the kits, and I don't sand them after priming. But I do panel line them before priming. :D

[@frostedsnow]

There's things I always forget too. However, if you can get away with it, that's alright!

[@baconlover50]

Fantastic job I love the detailed steps you show! Could you possibly link the tools that you use also?

[@frostedsnow]

I don't really want to currently link to any one store that I don't buy from, but I'll try to list all the tool names and brands more in the future! Didn't realize lots of ppl wonder about the scriber and stuff

[@baconlover50]

@@frostedsnow I understand, but great idea linking the brand that you use, seeing the brands that you guys use gives creditably to it, IF ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!

[@frostedsnow]

I mean I'll show the brand too for my tools in the video! I usually do but I forgot w the liners 🤣🤣 tbh if I don't, it means brand doesn't really matter.

[@bryanlay5166]

Very detailed tutorial for me to follow. The time of editing each video really takes time. Thanks for the hard work. Do you turn on the fan in spray booth when sanding? And how do you handle the sanded particles after work has done? Any hardship of working on resin kits during winter when you can't open window?

[@frostedsnow]

We do turn on the fan when sanding. Kughee sometimes sands over a wet towel in a tray. I'm lazy and I just sand and wipe it off the table after with a wet wipe. I do however tend to wear a mask cuz I have allergies, while Kughee doesn't (though he should). Our booth is big enough to not worry about windows being open.

[@bryanlay5166]

Wet towel is a good idea. I think I will do the sanding and spraying in garage over the coming winter, I don't want my kids to be affected by resin. Thanks. Btw, I thought you were Korean but surprised to know you speak Cantonese.

[@czar_oct]

From what I know with car surfacer, it usually comes out a little imperfect because it's meant to be sanded down before applying the paint on it. I'm not sure if all car surfacers are like that but some of the ones I've seen are. Jimmy Oakes talked about it briefly not too long ago when he did a video where he painted an engine bay as well. But applying it on metal vs resin is probably different too 🤔

[@frostedsnow]

That's too bad :( This one in particular was also very hard to sand off for the purpose of multiple sanding stages when Kughee experimented with it later on his kit. So, it's not even very good for that purpose. No luck in trying to save money here!

[@czar_oct]

@@frostedsnow I appreciate the effort and review! Now I know to steer clear of car surfacer unless I'm trying to put some elbow grease into it

[@wilridersarawak]

Ohsome!!!

[@IowaMan]

oh my god that magnet gimmick for the antenna

[@frostedsnow]

I know right

[@thawsitt]

Thanks for an awesome tutorial as always! Is it true that resin dust is toxic? Do you wear a mask or respirator when sanding resin?

[@frostedsnow]

Toxic!! Wearing a respirator is best!

[@SheldyxSheld]

Maybe one day (in a very distant future haha) Ill give resin a try. Gotta paint my plastic ones first! (still intimidated about it and no tools yet...)

[@frostedsnow]

So many great plastic kits to paint too, so no rush!

[@dykatran]

Hi Snow, what is different between red putty and Tamiya's common putty?

[@frostedsnow]

It's basically the same, but the red color helps you see it better on the light colored resin, see if it filled in properly!

[@dykatran]

@@frostedsnow I see. BTW, have you ever used the dissolved putty? I used it to fill wrong panel lines but after it got dried the lines were still visible., I applied more then sanding process swept away all of putty -_-

[@Makross_82]

I wonder if does chisels they come in a value pack?

[@frostedsnow]

Nope purchased separately :)

[@Makross_82]

[@K3ns4i]

Hi guys! Question for you and kudgai, I got very cheap scribers/chisels, but once I am done with them, what brand would you recommend in your experience? I've heard DSPIAE is good but I have no clue whatsoever. Thank you so much for the videos!

[@waterandrice598]

What scriber are you using? Brand? And sz?

[@frostedsnow]

0.1 mostly, BMC and any other brands. Will try to include the info next time!

[@johnchan778]

Love your videos. I was just curious when sanding with primer on do you still wear a mask to protect yourself from resin dust? Once primed do you need to be concerned with the resin anymore while its lying around? Also saw your previous video on assembly do you need to wear a mask during drilling and pre-assmebly?

[@frostedsnow]

You should wear a mask for all those things you mentioned I'm sure except maybe the parts after being primed. We don't always and def not recommending it for others. Kughee is really bad with wearing a mask and he also has a poor sense of smell as a result I'm sure. Def wear a mask when sanding!

[@1ungawa]

This is a great next step in the series, and perfectly timed, great job! I got my first kit the other day and I've been following along with your first part for prep work. The kit I'm starting with is actually your kit's brother, the Jesta Cannon! Do you know what "grit" the Koong's surfacer you used is? I plan on using Mr. Color surfacer 500 or 1000. Thanks for all your hard work and easy to follow instructions!

[@frostedsnow]

Great! I wanted to get the Cannon I think but Kughee already had this kit. Where did you purchase it from? Also, it's 1200 grit :)

[@1ungawa]

@@frostedsnow thanks! I got it from GK-M as they were recommended to me by some experienced resin enthusiasts. Edit: I dug a bit, and the kit I have is a recast of a Moya kit. I believe that Moya is longer in business as their website isn't available, and I couldn't find any place (easily in English) to buy their original cast kits. Your instructions look the same as mine, but with sharper images. Mine look like they were printed on an ink jet printer that's on its last legs..... At least the GM-K kit also comes with a led unit + battery!

[@frostedsnow]

@@1ungawa Super helpful!!! Thank you! I wanna make a video later to recommend resin sellers, and I didn't know about this site. If you don't mind sharing, please let me know of any other sites too :) Mine came with LED + batt too, but I didn't want to leave my visor clear XD

[@1ungawa]

@@frostedsnow GK-M (Shop2000, garage kit market) is popular in the states because their site is mostly in English, their staff can read/write English competently, and they take requests for recasts. They're based in Taiwan and stock both original kits from guys like YJL and Stickler Studio, and they do a lot of recasts- of which I'm not sure what their conditions are exactly. I know they have refused to do recasts of sculpts done by someone they know. They only take PayPal as payment, and you have buyer's protection if that matters to you (it should). They ship in a variety of methods, my preferred being DHL as I find them to be the most reliable. They respond to emails within 24 hours normally, and are very accommodating when it comes to modifying orders or canceling pre-ordered items (in most cases). Their shipping costs are baked into the model kit total cost (the shipping price is shown on the kit page and on the initial order list), and they offer deep discounts for their own kits, (indicated by a heart), when purchased with original kits that they stock. I'd call their prices reasonable because they keep a good stock and a wide selection. There are very few English-catering resin kit sites. Another one is Museigen Hobby in Malaysia, of which I have no experience with, but I've heard good things about them. US-based NewtypeHQ keeps a stock of YJL/Anchoret kits that you can purchase with Bandai kits as a bundle, USA Gundam store sometimes gets Stickler Studio and SIMP resin kits/conversions, but I've only seen sporadic inventory from them.

[@frostedsnow]

@@1ungawa super awesome! do you mind if I might share your comment in a video in the future?

So just add thinner to 3M Super Red Putty to "revive" it? Is there a shelf life?

[@frostedsnow]

Yes and not sure... we've been using our red putty for a few years.

[@MazingerZX]

@@frostedsnow Any tips on approximate mix of the super red putty and thinner? (I just bought a tube - it's huge...)

[@Jasonps3]

Do you wash your resin parts before priming? Also, do you prime even though there are pour marks on the parts?

[@frostedsnow]

I prime before any sort of sanding no matter what's on the part to see all the faults clearly. Also, washed it. Can check that out in the full build: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZvMm2SoZdGGnK8
