I really love the slow and relaxing pace of the video compared to those other similar channels which almost all of them look and sound the same with those fast paced nippings and runner drops zzz. Please maintain this kind of style and aesthetic.

[@awkner]

if it's for beginners I wish there were more tips though... like, how to use the airbrush (how to control it, how hard to press the trigger etc), how long to wait before masking & how long to wait to REMOVE the masking, etc

[@EAGunpla]

Hmm thats true!! I will do better next time! Thanks for the feedback! 🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️

[@najmi.d]

i believe he already covered some part of this process that you've mentioned from his old videos. i learned lots of beginner stuff from those.

[@InvokeZero]

@@EAGunpla I would love a video like that, and I think it would help a ton of unsure people, or people without a lot of knowledge get more comfortable with airbrushing. And I think you'd be one of the best to do it too. Out of all of the people I watch online, your models really stand out *because* of how good of a job you do painting your kits. It really is in a league a step above the rest. An example: When you were just priming the shield in this video. I am using an old 1/100 HG Deathscythe for practice and either my primer doesn't go on enough to cover the part, or it's too thick and pools a little. I'm getting better, but then I came on here and watched this, the two things going through my head are, "Wow that's so smooth and looks so clean." and "How do I do that too?"

[@laudzafajrul1043]

Good feedback, I am still curious of how to handle an airbrush well after ordered it online. I did my first custom Gunpla with spray paints and it was an abomination, lol

[@AmrishMahabir]

I've been getting back into this hobby and I've been looking at videos and I must say you're one of the most talented painters I've seen on YT

[@EAGunpla]

Thank you so much Amrish! I really appreciate it! 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@InvokeZero]

I actually really appreciate this because it shows you can make a model kit, even a normal sub-$20 HG look very good without having to go all-in on custom scribing, details, or mods. Could this look a lot better with custom panel lines, removed seam lines, and possibly other mods? Yeah of course; but was it necessary? No. And that's what this video shows.

[@valentetellezperez6538]

The color scheme reminds me of the Gundam G-3, anything looks nice in the G-3 colors (maybe)!

[@armandobuilds6137]

Now it looks even more like a knight in armor with those colors, great job as always man!

[@casuallycompetitivecwiss9321]

Amazing build! I'm surprised more of the panel line wash didn't get removed. I feel like when I try to clean up lines like that, I end up wiping away too much

[@mightyleg1439]

[@jabronijones90]

Here's a question: why cut the parts out if you could paint the whole kit in one go? Just curious

[@ahmsham611]

I think it has to do with a few things. Assembling the kit first gives you a good idea of where you might need to mask, where paint will rub near the joints, etc. I think it also jas to do with the fact that once you cut the parts off the runners you would see the original unpainted plastic where the nub is and you would damage the paint when trying to remove nub markd and stuff

[@WormyJester8]

Gunplas are poseable so if you paint it as a whole it might affect the articulation of the kit

[@Prepmeerkat]

If you paint on the runners, when removing nubs you will scratch the paint.

[@valentetellezperez6538]

@@Prepmeerkat and even if you don't scratch the paint, the nub marks would still be visible

[@aFinalNote]

Does the mr surfacer 1500 need sanding afterwards or is it good to paint after drying? I really like the sheild. The light purple next to the dark was a nice touch.

[@Shin_Lona]

Time out! There are some things that need to be discussed. LOL Am I the only one to notice the the goldish orb / jewel thing at the waist? Was that translucent or super-metallic? I also noticed care was taken not to top coat metallic paint (to preserve finish). What type of paint? For a beginner tutorial, this video sure has a lot of advanced mysteries. 😉

[@heyzahid]

Always curious, how long do you want for the primer to dry before putting on the colour paints?

[@hiroran9796]

How does that AT 1006 Nipper compared to other expensive nipper like Godhand SPN 120? Does it cut smooth with less force and leave less stress mark? Also, if it is possible, can you try make a comparison and review of your current existing nippers?

I want to ask, before primer, you have to sand it first, right? what grit do you use??

The black surfacer 1500 is primer? Or do you add that on top of the grey primer?

[@russelreyes8390]

Cool

[@aoikuroyuri6536]

Always wonder where one can buy such a big bottle of the black primer o.O also looks pre thinned

[@dykatran]

yep that's pre-thinned primer, I prepare primers like that too.

[@hiroran9796]

You do it manually. He did show a video on how to thin lacquer paints in airbrush. I am not sure how big is that bottle because I used a 200 ml bottle, same purpose but the one with a separate cone cap and 2 mr finishing primer black with mr levelling thinner. To be honest, if you are buying Mr Hobby Mr Colour, you just need to buy only 30 ml bottle since the net ml of mr colour is just 10 ml. If its like mr metallic (from mr hobby) if I am not mistaken has net of 18 ml, so go with 50 ml bottle. Big bottle like 200 or 250 ml is best suited to put paint Thinner or Tool cleaner to avoid excessive spilling when trying to make thin new paint in a new bottle or trying to clean excessive paints in the airbrush. Beginners like me before asked if the paint and thinner of said brands were worth the price since it looks crazily expensive for mere paints and thinners but in practical application when applied with an airbrush, it last longer since you will be able to use the paints on the parts efficiently in the long run than it is with a normal brush, which is best for narrow sections of the parts. Thinning all the paints, each colour in separate bottle ease the use of them in the long run since you can use the paints with both airbrush and normal brush efficiently. Also, don't paint on ABS and/or polycaps plastics, the soft ones because those are joint parts when you move the limbs to make a pose for your display and it will risk breakage and harden them. If you want to panel line or anything, avoid getting those thins on those soft plastics if already assembled or you better off do the individual parts you want to put the line or weathering before assembling. If you want to mix paints, I suggest get the 10 or 20 ml bottles if you are using existing pre-thinned colours instead of mixing two or more unthinned paints in a bottle from scratch because you can control its mixing ratio better. When mixing, preferrably do with the same type of paints, lacquer with lacquer, enamel with enamel, acrylic with acrylic. Because mixing lacquer and enamel is like water and oil, they don't mix well. Don't quote me on the mixing same or different type paint part cause I never tried anything besides Mr Hobby paints to suggest otherwise. But in my opinion, I believe it is best to mix colours using same brand. Also, if you want to make your airbush last longer try watching on how to clean airbrush by Marco Frisoni NJM (If I am not mistaken).

[@ricoo1861]

This was a great watch and you have my subscribe! I'll try these out for sure! I do have a question: Just got an MG GM Type C and want to paint the visor (or the gray part behind the clear visor) a green like all GMs have, which Citadel paint do you recommend?

[@BGLoscar]

The end product looks great, I was just confused with the title because it says "Repaint", I waited and waited but you did not REPAINT anything at all.. You only PAINTED the kit... You can't repaint something that wasn't painted to begin with... Still, great work. Love the materials, the effort, the picture quality and the calm music.. Thumbs up!

[@TyronePinson]

awesome and insightful video☺ did u top coat with gloss before u used the panel line accent? been having issues where I top coat with lacquer glossans when I used the panel line accent and remove with enamel thinner its taking away my original paint

[@Helghast73]

When cleaning up your panel lining why doesn’t the solvent thinner affect the paint on the kit ? Never used the Mr Hobby weathering before so assuming 😬 it’s the same base as the paints used on the kit.

[@dykatran]

That solvent is for enamel paint, it's very weak to lacquer paint, so it can be used to clean panel lines without washing away lacquer paint underneath.

[@Helghast73]

@@dykatran Thanks, it becomes a juggling act at times with what affects what 😂

[@dykatran]

@@Helghast73 the rule of thumb: lacquer>enamel>acrylic. The weaker can be only sprayed on the stronger paint, so you cannot spray lacquer paint on enamel paint.

Hi EA, what's the color that you used to paint on its eyes?

[@hsiangyuchen4198]

Can you explain the purpose of each level of paint? I got lost at finishing surfacer after the primer.

[@ASpooneyBard]

The Finishing Surfacer actually is the primer. He was using two different color primers for different parts. All of the metallic parts got black primer first, then he switched to gray for the other parts. As far as I can tell, all of the parts just got a coat of primer, then a coat of color, some of the panels got masked and painted a different color, then decals and matte varnish to finish.

[@hafizhansharruddin4742]

What kind of tape do you use? Also is there a difference if we use a normal masking tape from hardware shops?

[@hiroran9796]

Most masking tapes are similar. Some are specific to help scribing, making new panel lines better. Otherwise, it does not differ much besides the width of the tape, which tiny ones like 1 to 3 mm are best to cover tiny areas.

[@zenyxus6127]

Any tips for hand painting with just a brush? Airbrush can be pretty expensive

[@ASpooneyBard]

The golden rule: Thin your paints! Maybe a little thinner than you think it should be but not so much that it beads up. Your first layer should have full even coverage on the part, but the color should be transparent and splotchy. You know you did it right if it looks like garbage. Then put a few more layers on just like that. There's no science to how many, just keep applying layers until you have solid smooth color over the whole part. If you do it right, you'll have a nice silky coat with no brush strokes. Put a matte clear coat on it (I've always used a spray can for that step, I wouldn't try brushing varnish) and no one would even know it's brush painted. Other tips: It should go without saying, but just in case: use primer first (Spray can is fine) I recommend using a wide flat brush, if you can get one, for the base coat as described above. When painting in the small details like eyes and vents, you still want to thin your paints, but not as much as I described above. Painting those small details is pretty similar to tabletop miniature painting, so it might help to check out some beginner level tutorials for Warhammer stuff. Have a wide variety of brush sizes and shapes available. Most kits have a lot of small detail, sharp edges, and large flat panels that you may need to pick out. Don't be afraid to pick up one of those value packs that you always see at craft stores with a dozen brushes. They work better than you might think... Unless you are working with enamel or lacquer, then you might want to do some research first.

What type of bottles do you use to hold your Mr Surfacer? The plastic doesn't get damaged at all?

[@hiroran9796]

I believe it is just normal bottle but meant specific for putting gunpla related paints since it has metal ball inside it. You can get them cheap too from online. It is a matter of size. Paints, MR Hobby usually go in 30 ml bottle since their net ml of paint is 10. 50ml bottle for 18 ml paint. 100ml is usually for one finishing surfacer. 200ml for two bottle of finishing surfacer. 250 ml is best for putting excess thinner or tool cleaner for ease of usage when thinning paints and cleaning airbrush respectively. 10 or 20 ml bottle is for mixing paints that you want to use from existing thinned paints. As it is the paints from Mr Hobby and other brands are too concentrated to use as it is on airbrush so it is best to dilute them first in a separate bottle with thinner.

[@paranoidpanzerpenguin5262]

@@hiroran9796 Most plastics get damaged by lacquer thinners. Even the good ones are only partially resistant, so not good for long-term use.

[@hiroran9796]

@@paranoidpanzerpenguin5262 Indeed. I agree and won't deny that part. But the bottles EA Gunpla used and what I suggested aren't that different because it is also plastic with similar thickness and the shaking sound was a metal ball hitting a plastic, not a glass. Afterall plastics are cheap. You see, most paints from Mr Hobby come in glass bottle and I even looked online that Mr Hobby Thinners are specificially made less concentrated than just normal lacquer when I was looking for alternatives for lacquer thinner other than Mr Hobby. Also, the thinner has to strike from high pressure at a single point to damage the plastics, which happens if you really focused the thinner in an airbrush or spray gun directly to the surface or if you rub it too strong with a q tip. Also, thinner evaporates or vaporised even in room temperature so you need to have ventilated room if you want to paint, especially with airbrush. So yeah, I agree thinner damages plastic but it needs additional factors and conditions for it to happen like the amount of force we applied to the q tip or brush from our hand, humidity, the surrounding temperature and when using airbrush, it depends on the operating pressure, distance of the parts from the airbrush when painting, and the material composition of the parts we want to paint. Obviously nobody would use lacquer paints and all that on ABS or polycap plastics unless if they want to test if the statement stated by the manual or anyone in the internet was valid or not. If it can happen spontaneously without those factors taken into consideration, I think neither EA gunpla user would post his videos nor Mr Hobby or other gunpla related companies would sell their products carelessly and even export them outside of Japan. I mean, it does take time, research and data to make a product that is usable practically, even with risk. If it has risk, the companies had to put the warning on the labels and what chemicals they used. I am pretty sure material safety data sheet can be obtain for free if you asked those companies through email or their official sites because you got that right but not the exact formula or composition, which are trademark secret.
