Absolutely impressed with the incredible level of detail you achieved, especially without airbrushing! 👏🔧

[@CaimArt]

Thank you ❤️

[@shadowcaptaincain]

This is the best Barbatos I've seen. So many are super clean and pristine, but the weathering done to this one conveys so much intensity. Really well done.

[@chrislupusrex9610]

That looks awesome dude no airbrush at all wow.

[@ilikegiantrobots1775]

I freaking LOVE Barbatos. He is my absolute favorite Gundam design, and the MG was actually my first model kit (although my profile is actually my second one because the first one was more of a failure than anything else) I truly love model kits, and I wish I could achieve something like this. In another sense, amazing job!

[@CaimArt]

The Barbatos MG was also the first model kit for me, I love it but my favorite MG is another ...😊

[@surelylune]

the oil coming out felt like a real epiphany, of course oil washes would work for gunpla! fantastic job ❤️

[@user-yq4nc6gd1v]

This will be a good tutorial for the people who started building gunpla and wants to do some customizing. Cheers!

[@monadamus42]

One of the best Barbatos builds for sure! That dry brush you did with the steel on the frame looks so good. Thank you for sharing!

[@nothilmies7599]

I cant believe how many hours you put in into this build...amazing work bro👍

[@marcoschavez173]

I couldnt dream of doing something half this amazing. Love it dude.

I would absolutely watch a long format version of this. Maybe a 1 hour version :)

[@The__Redrum__Gaming]

So inspirational! I just got into this hobby and I am new to model kits in general. Just finished an HG kit, now moving onto another HG kit and then just bought this exact kit. Mine will come no where near what you have done but very excited to start.

[@HidenLotus-]

I'm also new and bought this exact kit, there's a chance to get a resin conversion kit (basically another armor kit aside from the stock one) to paint, which ill try to buy to do my first custom. Might be worth looking into if you're looking to paint!

[@jmg7842]

God gave this guy talent 😮 not even me can make this look good

[@Not.Ferrnnzz]

That looks freaking amazing man! Ooo you got me wanting to try something like this. I’ll probably mess up a few HG kits before it’s looks half as good as your MG custom.

[@CaimArt]

Thank you 😁

[@stefanohua1346]

Holy shit dude, this is impressive

[@christopherscott934]

If I'm going to go the distance with photo etch detail....I might as well go with waterslide decals. Looks good to be brush painted.

[@FLG8r]

very nice end product; i'm also getting back into model making and Gundam models currently have my interest; now, that i have the means - i went all in to also include airbrushing

[@LaMBoONutto]

Awesome👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing.

[@sammey-yx3op]

that looks awesome compare to mine yours looks awesome

[@viniciuskondo8358]

You painted some parts with Acryllic Paint, and after pannel lining you cleaned with Enamel Thinner. Shouldn't the thinner reactivate the acryllic paint? Great video btw.

[@CaimArt]

Thanks, If you use it very light, the acrylic paint does not come off. Basically, if the color is dry and you don't push hard, there are no problems.

[@francizhtohsaka4520]

[@jonathannicholson7590]

Fantastic video end result is amazing. I am getting back into model making after a 25 year break, currently not having setup for airbrush, your techniques are a perfect way of having good results with just a brush and a bit of imagination. Quick question, regarding the Tamiya panel line accent you use, back in the day these were not availavble and I used to water down Tamiya paints of the time, how do you find these compare to watered down paint, thanks.

[@shreyasnampalli5250]

Awesome custom! Did you panel line the entire kit? Or just the fin?

[@DeLEWD]

This looks fantastic. I am confused why you kept the stickers instead of using water slides seeing how the boarders are very visible.

[@TheChristianLevin]

Looks really good! Could you tell me how do you wipe out the excess liquid chrome? Thank you

a little thinner

[@vinny8589]

I honestly would love to have ANYBODY teach me how to properly paint my gunpla at this point I tried ONCE on a 1/144 scale Barbatos I got but I only managed to make it look like an Italian version of the Gundam due to the Warhammer paints I still retained from working at a figurine shop. It was my 2nd time ever hand painting a figure from scratch so it only turned out Okay fair..nothing even remotely W0W level...I was happy but not ecstatic with the outcome to be honest..I still have a my 00 diver which isn't even assembled yet for the sole reason I wanted to paint it Black with neon violet or gold accents but simply lack the skill to do so..

[@CaimArt]

Bè io sono italiano quindi il tuo gunpla versione italiana sarà sicuramente bellissimo 😁,I learned through KZbin tutorials, all it takes is a little practice and you can get excellent results!

[@vinny8589]

@@CaimArt I'll be honest it wasn't intentional that the Barb. turned out looking like a Gundam Italian Flag to be frank, It's just the only paints I had lefts were White, Green, and Red, I Used the silver and gold gundam markers to color the crest, and internal joints to make them PoP and make the Green and Red stand out more against the Black spacing and white armor. Thus the result. I also used the silver marker as trim on the mace, and gun with the gold on the scope. I used Red on the big crystals and green on the tiny ones to add better symmetry to the design than I ran out of red and had to finish up with varying shades of green and white mixed for shadowing which felt a bit off but still worked... I give it a 6.8/10 at most.. I've seen what an 20/10 looks like and I'm nowhere near that level.

why would you go to the trouble of making such a beautiful kit with incredible paint skill only to put stickers on it and not water slides ?

[@CaimArt]

It was intended to be a video for beginners and those who wanted to start customizing model kits, so I tried to use easy techniques. I think water decals are too complicated for beginners to apply 🙂

[@joshuawiseman5629]

@@CaimArt I see honestly they seem intimidating at first but I did them with the first ever kit I built the trick is rounded tweezers to hold the decal and a tooth pick to slide it onto whatever surface dip the decal in lukewarm water for 3 seconds wait a couple more then slide into place lightly dab and then slap some tamiya mark fit strong my first kit came out great and I used g-rework water decals which are beautiful but notorious for ripping the main problem is people soak them in the water too long but that's awesome your showing these skills you are really talented may I ask what that black goo that you put on and then wiped off was?
