[@pretzel1313]

I very much enjoy this video format. I like hearing all the ideas and thought processes that go into a build. For me it's as much educational/inspirational as it is entertaining, as I'm getting ready for me first painted build.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Thanks, this is the exact kind of feedback that I'm looking for. Hopefully, more will comment and let me know what they think of the format.

[@highgaugedesign]

love the format. thanks for the tips

[@d9_1056]

Don't breathe this! He'll yeah. Classic.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Haha ...I'm old

[@datvu9537]

Finally new update. I love your content!

[@d9_1056]

Very helpful. Learned a good bit. Thanks for the upload.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@henrycairus7649]

Thank you for the Video! I love your work and the detailed explanations in the videos! This beam rifle modification was amazing. Keep em coming!

[@FartsMcButts]

This was great, more longer videos please!

[@GunplaNewbie]

I'll try my best :D

[@xXlamikXx]

Seeing the process is gonna help my. I've been struggling with planning my masking. Thank you for posting!

[@GunplaNewbie]

Thanks. Glad it helped!

[@cabellism]

I used to be bad at handpainting, then last year i got heavy into WH40k. 4 Armies later, my handpainting isnt bad. Won a few competitions for best painted armys and models at a few tourneys. Practice, repetitions, and more.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Definitely, I'll probably need fresh brushes and do it more

[@cabellism]

Been using the GW acrylic for my gunpla aswell recently. They are not bad paints by anymeans, just very fragile. Highly pigmented tho. The metallic paints such as leadbelcher, retribution gold, ironhands silver? (not 100% sure on that one) are perfect for metalic detail painting. Add a wash of nuln oil and, remove some of the excess, and good to go. @@GunplaNewbie

[@badfido]

I enjoyed the video. Very informative, with just the right amount of humor. Not too long at all. Absolutely following and look forward to your future videos.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Nos4a2a]

Yay!! you're back!!

[@GunplaNewbie]

I'm always here just quietly and slowly working on stuffs. :D

[@irish_gunpla4064]

Great to see you back 👍

[@GunplaNewbie]

Thanks 👍

[@itsmedc8002]

Dude this is AMAZING.

[@GunplaNewbie]

I'm glad you like it

[@ghty3572]

From reddit you video quality so great you should get more sub

[@JokerXtremeCyclone]

Liking this format.. keep it up man

[@GunplaNewbie]

Thanks! Will do!

[@GraveSky.]

Well, this give me motivation to try it out on all of this weapon i get from 30mm xD

[@yallaresheeps3440]

Great content. BTW the scope is placed backward. The packaging is correct, it was modeled after the eotech 512 scope.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Good stuff, finally someone pointed me towards the actual model of the scope. As mentioned in the video, I'm aware that the scope is backwards. I just installed it this way for aesthetic preference :D

[@nivlanasus9022]

It's awesome!

[@GunplaNewbie]

You're awesome too 🥰

[@dtejada1988]

Love it keep coming with this kind of video 😎👍🏼

[@GunplaNewbie]

Thanks. Glad you don't hate my voice lol.

[@pretzel1313]

I think the finished work looks really cool and that you did a good job. I think I personally wouldn't have added the light gray accents, but that's just me. Fine work!

[@GunplaNewbie]

Yeah, thats the beauty of custom gunpla, literally gunpla is freedom. I'm very much still learning colour combinations and colour schemes.

[@K.buildingthings]

Helpful video.. I’m doing a jesta cannon and thinking what to do with weapons

[@GunplaNewbie]

Thanks, glad you liked it 😊

[@monochrome2363]

Ayyyy you're back! I love this commentary video bro. I guess you should settle on this format. Nice rifle too!

[@GunplaNewbie]

Ah thanks man. Seems like most preferred this format. I think it gives a lot of context to what I do too..

[@monochrome2363]

@@GunplaNewbie Indeed. Your explanations are good too. Godspeed brother.

[@Gundumb_guy]

I don’t build like this usually but I do like what you have done with this. Very nice

[@slyiutsan7163]

Wonderful. I am working on the same kit and the same rifle. you help me a lot. I want to know how you done seamless about the red dot sight, especially how to deal with that transparent part.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Thanks, glad it helped. For the sight/scope, I sealed the seam with the transparent part attached. I didn't show this process (as the video was a bit too long), but I painted the entire thing without masking the transparent part. I've already decided to use a green foil sticker as the "camera". As mentioned in the video about mobile suits leaning in on weapons to "aim", I used a green foil and make it seemed more like a camera instead. Hope this answers your question.

[@jonathanbiccum4486]

How did that mixer work on the clearcoat? It didn’t look like there was a metal stirrer in there?

[@GunplaNewbie]

There's a metal bar in the bottle, probably didn't show clear enough on the video

[@jonathanbiccum4486]

@@GunplaNewbie your work on the beam rifle had me wondering if some magic was being used and that clearcoat mixing had me convinced. LOL Thanks for bringing me back to reality.

[@GunplaNewbie]

@@jonathanbiccum4486 Maybe it was and I'm just covering the truth. Don't trust what you see online :P
