It's been a while since I've done a proper custom build, and it's so good to be back! Veery build has been a journey, and this is a special one. I've always loved the #Jesta as a grunt suit, but I always wanted him to be more than he could. The kit itself is a little bit squished in its proportion so one of the things I've done is to extend the waist. That fixed the problem. I've also imagined him to be a winter-themed build with a winter diorama. What do you guys think?

The evolution of your channel is so amazing. I first started watching during lockdown when I wanted to start a new hobby. Now, I’m using your paints on my builds!

[@ShuraHaidate]

The fact Bandai hasn't offered you a job designing Gunpla is beyond me. These are *insane* builds. Every one. I lost it at the pistol and the holster. Lmao. 10/10, as always, Studio G. Loving your paints, btw!

[@michiganisthebeststate1081]

Japanese artists and modelers are overworked and underpaid so I don't know if he's gonna want to work for Bandai even if he got the offer lol.

[@user-sf1zo8jz4c]

​@@michiganisthebeststate1081 they are Chinese, so prolly more underpaid lol.....joke aside, if they take customize orders its very expensive in China. One of these mostly cost at a starting price of 6000 RMB, at his customize level prolly gonna go for 10k RMB+, which is equivalent to a month of salary of most white collars jobs. So if he can take 1+ order you can make a living out of it and a pretty decent living. Precondition: you need orders.

[@CPL.Hiroto]

“Never Stop Building” -StudioG

[@epochqc4713]

The pistol is AMAZING, your skills at making custom stuff is INSANE, even the holster such details!

[@rubinellemahrahn6591]

Now THIS is a worthy custom Jesta! You are a hell of a builder, mate...I never get tired of watching you work at these and creating these visions of beauty.

[@Iskelderon]

Awesome! This is the first channel where I see someone use the same technique I use, adding resin-printed parts in addition to scratchbuilt bits and engraving. In my case, I often print inset vents or greeble sections (like a hint of pistons, grates or other mechanical parts).

[@willdowns5847]

We just gonna gloss over the water fall your using as a spray booth now…. I’ve never seen anything like that

[@B0redom13]

I love the idea of taking something simple and just pumping endless hours into it to make it perfect and one of a kind

[@frontrowattheshitshow8849]

I still can’t believe you made those trees by hand, out of rope! That alone is worth very high praise! Everything in this video was amazing to see, and I really appreciated those closeups of the details 😁

[@greyborg3846]

Incredible, mind blowing, work as usual. The amount of effort you put in, I can't even fathom it. The Jesta is one of my favorite grunt suits and I can't even imagine it looking cooler than what you did with it here. I only hope that someday, someday, you do a custom Tallgeese III. It's my absolute favorite mobile suit of all time, and I would love to see what you could do with it.

[@whylde0697]

This is absolutely phenomenal from a person who literally is building their first Gumpla kit right now just because I stumbled across your KZbin videos a few months ago. And I can tell you I am hooked and I will “never stop building“

[@gamerkingdom1442]

And once again, you prove why you’re my favorite Gunpla Builder KZbinr!! This looks phenomenal! Glad you’re back at doing these builds and videos!

[@Momotaro0125]

Out of all of the builds you've done this one's color is simply next level. May be it's just my preference but this kit is perfection.

[@gundamenjoyer217]

Hey StudioG, nice to see a new vid! The jesta is one of, if not my favorite grunt suit, and it’s never looked better! You are by far one of my favorite gundam KZbinrs and I love watching your content. Keep up the good work man!

[@chrisward5263]

It's my favorite grunt suit as well. I'm so happy that's it's getting the love and appreciation it deserves. Both in the normal kit and with customs

[@lileenleen]

Yeah the jesta is so well designed. Robust but classy looking. Sleek and modern too. Well-rounded but with an edge.

[@oliverrichardson4429]

The shoulder cannon and the camouflage technique were genius! I am incredibly jealous of your patience to sit down and do all that! I wish I had time to try something like that...

[@falsehero2001]

Your skill at creating unique paneling and accessories out of plastic art and rod never ceases to amaze me. While I love all you work with Gunpla and still want more, I’d love to see your interpretation of other model ranges as well.

[@klebersilva751]

life is going to be better and easy, and your art work inspire thousands of people to try building and have fun, proud of their own builds, thanks and congratulations from Brazil, man

[@studiojamescao]

Congrats for launching your customization service. Like others, the evolution of your hobby, your channel, your business and your journey is remarkable.

[@frontrowattheshitshow8849]

It is CRAZY how good you are at what you do. I am blown away each and every time you upload a build, it's simply a joy to admire what you make. I love your work!

[@adrianfidler1169]

Your creativity is next level.

[@tesarus8461]

That's the most impressive gunpla build I've seen so far. Thank you for sharing the build process! It helps a lot and inspires me to do better each new kit!

[@biggil0327]

welcome back ... been missed can't wait to see the build

[@eg_dlossantos8403]

It Truly is, a Welcome Back StudioG

[@daiapolon773]

God looking Job!!! I think your design is of a stealth type robot, I imagine him aiming his gun covered by the trees, like a hunter looking for prey in the cold winter.

[@Shoumikmahmud]

Bravo!! You outdid yourself for this one. Simply gorgeous.

[@orokanamame]

God dang it, Justin! You once again exceeded yourself!

[@drexlspivey3766]

I love that it's pouring out

[@undeadrose6347]

it's been a while since your last uploud so happy to see it

[@thatJoshieJosh]

Your scratch building never ceases to amaze me.

[@soki324]

I can't get over how fantastic the pistol and cannons turned out.

[@boydvo8192]

The amount of effort, time, care, and creativity you put into every step and detail to make these gorgeous custom builds and dioramas is insane!🤯

[@zero-arc3810]

Now THAT’S a good looking Jesta! Hot damn

[@MrJedimedic]

Your customs, and I don’t say this lightly, are the BEST.

[@silmcdon]

I haven't watched the whole thing yet but I'm in the scribing part and it looks really good. You know I really wanna watch it if I intend to put aside a time today to go watch a single KZbin video.

[@lileenleen]

This is straight up a model from halo 5 oh my god I kept thinking the scribing was too chaotic but the all white color scheme brought everything tgt, and the polarized visor is EVERYTHING This is so slay. This jesta is the most swagged out jesta in existence rn. The vibes are phenomenal. The shoulder mounted gun is inspired omg

[@AmuroRae]

Sorry to hear that you're struggling right now. Hope things settle down a bit for you, soon, so you can get back to the things you love

[@GoMurillo95]

i feel legitimately overwhelmed by awesomeness, youre such a legend

[@rougehawk]

Absolutely Incredible! I damn near fell out of my seat at 28:50 I hope things in your life start looking up brother. You are an inspiration to me and I hope for nothing but the best for you

[@WrrrGamer]

Absolutely incredible!!!! I wish I had the time and the patience to do this kind of stuff on top of building gunpla but it’s just so overwhelming right now with so many other things I’m trying to figure out with my life. You do such amazing work and I love seeing out being so creative with hobbies and interests like this.

[@delbroox]

This videos would be even cooler with a "before and after" side-by-side on every piece. Man any kit you build is absolutely outstanding. just WOW.

[@romankovbasniuk1826]

This is my favorite build so far! It's so amazing the level of customization that went into making this 😍

[@MRfyleas75]

Wow just amazing work! Impressive 🤩🤩🤩

[@1993mcdowell]

Every time you release a new video... by god is it an experience.

[@ruyikang7438]

真的太厲害了 讓人沉浸在你的製作影片中

[@jmo8391]

This is a masterclass in gunpla. Damn

[@justinyogianders6244]

This is str8 epic dude! Well done!

[@flamingdude145]

Studio G is one of reasons i got into gunpla

[@ryanhart3979]

DAMN!!! All the masking already took half of the progress, respected!

[@gfsockmonkey]

Are you f'in kidding me!? Only 1/3 of the way through and blown away

[@TRDGE]

It’s unfortunate you weren’t on the Build Divers series, your customs would have been legendary 🔥

[@binhyennguyenkhoa2923]

Gotta love those cinematic style custom build video.

[@jeffreyko3333]

Damn!!!! Nice to see you doin great things again G!

[@fredko7086]

The amount of custom details is absolutely stunning. Bravo. Now I sincerely and warmly wish you the best to cope with all the things you have to do to make you and your family feel good, and truly home, back in your country...which eventually reveals like you are in a complete new environment. Moving is not always as easy as one might imagine, but I am sure you will find your way through the harsh times today to make you all a super tomorrow. Never give up, never stop building, whether it is your place, home, future...or simple (but amazing) gunpla custom kits!

[@adhityaza8693]

Great work, i still remembering your first custom video and live streaming. Quiting your old job and now living your dream

[@jasoncarter3182]

This man can make anything look like a perfect grade

[@pachecodejesus]

I love your builds and is really inspiring the dedication to your shop, so don’t worry for not build as before I’m sure me and a lot more people will wait for your desire to keep building

[@nickyyves2678]

This a MASTERPIECE 🤯

[@urzmontst.george6314]

thank you for re-igniting my love of gunpla! Awesome work!

[@darksheepvids]

Wow really cool , love the mods and the colors

[@esmith8887]

I cannot believe this... Wow.. Jaw dropping!! You've really outdone yourself here man. Holy moly.

[@johnedward5867]

Now your done costomizing the gunpla's of those century now you go for the god

[@zarcrostc9052]

Just one of your best jobs... Awsome !

[@walnutguy7210]

I've got my tools and my new Gunpla is coming september 15th, I'm so excited.

[@Skip13205]

Ohhhhh. The double barrel is a nice touch. I thought the rifle was going to waste when you used it as a donor for the pistol's trigger 😂

[@bojox3m2]

im really sure that the G for Studio G stands for God. thanks for sharing your skills!!! that Jesta deserves a buff up.

[@adrianharris1708]

Have to say this one looks really good. I love the white highlights.

[@DeDoGunpla]

man, you'll just remind me why I started custom building and why I love your channel yet again, and as always haha.. welcome back,,, =)

[@nofuxgivens2797]

The Jesta is my Favorite Mobile Suit. I've customized 7 or 8 HGs. I just got 1 each of the MGs as well as a Base Jabber. Gonna be most of next years work.

[@zeddoverkill]

Dude, you keep knocking them out of the park! This Jesta looks absolutely SLICK AS HELL! I love that you bulked it up - extending the waist was a good call, it gives the torso much more depth and a nicer overall silhouette. And that paint job... I mean, your painting skills are where I would love to be some day, your masking is on point and that subtle winter camo was just *chef's kiss* on point. Also, Love the new setup, is that paint booth using water flow to control excess paint from the airbrush?! Excellent video, my dude. I know you'll get back into the swing of things. #NeverStopBuilding

[@zkkhn_]

the wait is super worth it.💜

[@CELT1CPRED]

the waterfall paint catcher is pretty neat too.

[@encan0775]

wow....mmg trbaik la custom...best btol tngok proses² custom ni...merecik hawau...🎉🎉🎉

[@slapjack66]

Oh My.... looks beautifull.... your scribing is so nice and clean.... Love it!!! And that handgun is out of this world....

[@timeshark8727]

holly shit! that thing turned out gorgeous!

[@Apollo-78]

Oh man it so gorgeous you made my day thats my fav grunt suit

[@GUNPLASA]

Welcome back! Good to see you back at it! Hope you are settling better now in Malaysia!

[@mohdnazriithnin3286]

inspiring AF !!!!! thanks bro , you the one got me hooked up to gunpla

[@TesseracMedia]

Just beautiful!

[@flattenthecurv3606]

Damn, dude...this really awesome...good job...

[@PearlJam2k6]

Im always amazed at the end result of your builds and how ergonomic and natural the shape looks, as it was a basic Ver-Ka model or resin upgrade kit and not a self-scribed custom piece. My only criticism would be that the camo isnt contrasted enough and is a bit too subtle, but aside from this im continually blown away by your work. Best of luck getting back into your life, you got this. Keep going at it, it'll be fine!

[@CCHSMH]

兄弟，極神的膠板改造阿，尤其是肩砲跟手槍，很厲害。配樂、剪輯也很棒 Awesome job.

[@astraea_4368]

You're the best gunpla builder for real!! It's beyond a perfect score!!! I hope by chance you'll build and custom a Zoids units. More contents to come!!

[@user-wk6ks5cl4b]

編集お疲れ様です。 とても精密に作られていて凄く感動しました。 いつか貴方のような作品が作れるように頑張っていきたいです。これからも楽しみにしてます。

[@Dynamodel48]

the diaroma and the paintjob are like peanut butter and jelly

[@sharpy3453]

dude. this is so sick. wish i was half as good as you man

[@kandolosky6732]

I’m gonna say it You’re on a level of mastery in Gunpla as Floyd Mayweather is in boxing. Untouchable

[@ZENKI07]

This is my fave custom so far. Here's a challenge. Can you somehow custom a Predator inspired gundam?? with full on mask, mandibles and dreadlocks? it would be so cool to see you do it. Keep it up man!

[@angriestchezburger]

THE KING HAS RETURNED!!!

[@AaronCheck-dx3ud]

Masterpiece. Instant classic.

[@Freelancer604]

Incredible. Im super into this look. I wish bandai would release a higher quality RG or HG based on this look.

[@kenneth6102]

I never liked camouflage, not excluding this build. Somehow the build is so well done that I'm willing to completely overlooked it. Great stuff.

[@daltonmiller1569]

It's a thing of beauty

[@israelcintroniii7610]

Your channel is growing more and more every time you post a video, love your work and everything you do keep up the great work.

[@keanu3975]

Wow I’m speechless and would love to be able to do custom builds like this someday but right now since I’m pretty new to the hobby I’ll stick to straight builds ❤️

[@jacobsenpai2647]

Your the most talented gunpla builder of all time

[@Unit_With_Legs]

Simply amazing

[@StegDarkhorse]

Always cool to get updates on how your business is growing. Happy for you, man. I hope the stress of running everything doesn't become too much for you.

[@tylerwech2550]

I commented on another video about integrating the battery pack into a shield or backpack. I just realized it wouldn't be possible with the pack you use. It would have to be a button battery set up so it wouldn't be too heavy. It would be neat to see, though. Especially for mobility purposes.

[@HissyCat]

Totally AWESOME!!!

[@mcnos3820]

Aight this Jesta is sick
