Finding Comfort by Hand Painting Gundam | Iron Blooded Orphans Kitbash

[@CharlieNoodles]

All joking aside your comments about getting in the zone through painting and how calming it is really struck a chord with me. Having a hobby is such a great outlet for anyone who struggles with anxiety because it allows your mind to exist in the present moment. You become absorbed in the now and can let go all the worries about the future. Great content and I hope you inspire many others to take up a hobby.

[@MMMayhem]

It's definitely a flow-state sometimes, thanks!

[@squaresphere]

as always, GUNPLA IS FREEDOM!!! Love the amount of custom bashing you did on this one!

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks, I had a lot of fun bashing this one together!

[@zanybrain7265]

The amazing coat of paint you put on your kit, reminds of Red Line. Excellent job!!

[@MMMayhem]

Red Line is one of my favourite movies!

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Love those hand brushed gradients my dude. Great production and final product on this one!

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks dude!

[@primetimeforcrime]

I really love these tones. Idk why but it's my favorite so far!

[@MMMayhem]

I love the tones as well

[@tajaygordon9358]

You know part of the reason I love your videos stems from the fact that they always feel so therapeutic. Keep up the amazing work bro! Also that custom gun. Chefs kiss👌🏾

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks bro, glad the content is therapeutic for you; appreciate the support for my kitbashing!

[@alternatebanana3670]

I am brand new to the gunpla hobby and clearly have so much to learn. This style of funny, freeballing, informative videos doesn't scare me away. Thanks for the accidental encouragement, friend. I hath smote the sub button.

[@MMMayhem]

The emperor thanks you for the subscription!

[@kirillkapaln4536]

low anxiety painting is a personal goal. promoting the four agreements promotes health and well-being. thanks for your work in recording what you like. another useful entertaining video!

[@MMMayhem]

Glad you appreciate the reference!

[@genuinelygrievous1442]

WOOOOO MORE GAMMA WOLVES CONTENT!

[@mikkelangelokers9965]

That snipping montage was amazingly hypnotizing! Must have took ages to edit that scene alone

[@MMMayhem]

It takes a while, but I enjoy it and keep getting faster! Thanks

[@satellachannel6423]

Jak 3! You have my respect. One of my fav games. I did litteraly paint a Gundam (well, a "LBX") based on the color scheme of a Jak character (the Crimson Guards in Jak II).

[@MMMayhem]

Nice, that sounds like a great project! Glad you enjoyed my reference to IMO the best PS2 game series

[@gabriolagaming7472]

My new favorite gunpla videos

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks for clicking on my video! What did you think of Protagonist 3? Any thoughts about the next project? Thanks again to @Sugar Candy Miniatures, Kevin K., @Plamo Therapist, @Kelga Creations, Finn M., BlueParappa, @Leo Nel Builds, and @Jetto Hobbyfor being guest voices! (Edit: Removed the Studio G link because I no longer associate with them and don't recommend their products)

[@tedlonge8322]

I love you and your work never give up never back down.

[@zoonk2806]

Just found out about this channel and this is gold. Love everything that you're doing, really a breath of fresh air for gunpla customization. Keep it up!

[@carnut015]

I have been building, modifying, and painting model kits for years. It has helped me retain my sanity more times than I care to count. Having a parts bin is a great resource, and a lot of fun. Bravo on the final result. Happy building!

[@AriesTabletopModels]

Another Amazing Job!!! I still cant get over how awesome your painting skills are!!

[@MMMayhem]

Thank you very much!

[@fbmbass3929]

The vids as well as your painting just keep getting better and better! That gradient blew my mind; two thumbs up for the colour choices. Also, the glow effect looks great.

[@MMMayhem]

Thank you very much Mr. BASS

[@victorapontejr.8244]

God I love how well thought out, detailed & funny your stuff is. Amazing video fam! Keep it up!

[@GUNPLASA]

Another great build and enjoyable video Liam! Hehe it was an honor to lend you a hand with voices! Looking forward to the big boi!

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks again for your contribution!

[@bendorozio4269]

loved how this guy turned out. its awesome to see your progression from video to video.

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks man, the MMMayhem Content Zone sure has been a wild ride so far lol

[@Morrowman17]

So happy to be a patron of yours. You single handedly influenced me to start customizing Gunpla which then turned into a full blown warhammer addiction haha. Never looking back 😎

[@MMMayhem]

Ha ha congrats on the new hobby! Thanks

[@Skringly]

Dude that colour scheme is straight fire! Orange and black always pair so nicely and that paint job is so crisp. Awesome work!

[@MMMayhem]

well I did use vallejo HOT orange lol. Thanks

[@ethanreker3333]

I just really wanted to stop by and say that your content is fantastic! I came across one of your Gamma Wolves kitbash projects recently and immediately had to watch them all! Your work is inspiring and your attitude is contagious. Its really cool that you show your process of experimenting, and even sometimes failing. It's helpful to see someone with such skill also make mistakes and just learn from it and roll with it. It's very refreshing. I cant wait to see what's next!

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks, glad you appreciate the content!

[@gazhavok568]

Love the Gamma Wolves stuff!

[@MMMayhem]

Glad you do, thanks!

[@matttran7161]

Almost 50K views, whooo my man on the come up! Also, I love how we collectively agreed that the "two cut" method is the standard and all just have a set of nice nippers now. Back in my day we did that shit with nail clippers. They were savage times...

[@Regie.C]

This build is so inspiring, I absolutely adore the details, thank you Gunpla Jesus.

[@StyL0s_]

Your hand painted gunpla are way more characterful/better looking than the airbrushed ones. I'm glad people like you or Lincoln Wright goes the extra mile to make something different than everyone else

[@firebringeraxel]

Another amazing finished paintjob. Loving the Gamma Wolves projects & excited for the next one. I picked up the book myself after watching a few of these.

[@MMMayhem]

nice, I've gotten plenty of entertainment value from my book!

[@firebringeraxel]

Same! As someone who came from a tabletop wargame background & got into plamo/gunpla after leaving the hobby I found your videos refreshing cuz most gunpla content vilifies acrylics (understandably to a degree).

[@stocxt]

oh man that Buster gundam is gonna be killer for Gamma Wolves

[@MMMayhem]

yeah it is!

[@stocxt]

@@MMMayhem it's already a pretty decked out model, I'm curious what modifications you're planning to make you it if any

[@MMMayhem]

you'll see ;)

[@adamp3229]

You keep doing your magic forget any talk that stops you from achieving what you wanna do

[@logawnio]

man I wish everyone could see your videos. its such a nice departure from all the samey Gunpla content I see elsewhere. the model mayhem style is definitely something id like to get into for my own Gunpla. any resources you'd recommend for getting started with this miniature style painting method?

[@MMMayhem]

I want to make better instructional material eventually, but for now I recommend checking out popular mini painting-channels like Goobertown Hobbies, Duncan Rhodes, miniac, etc. for learning fundamentals (there are plenty of good tutorials for a variety of styles and models out there)

[@stanlee2200]

Yeah everyone airbrushes with Gaia and panel lines..it's nice to see something done differently

[@JSPOT1n0nly]

This was my first video I've seen of yours. I enjoy it all. Great kit bashing, the process, the background on why you made choices, the painting, your delivery, your editing. I liked it all - SUBSCRIBED

[@MMMayhem]

thanks and welcome!

[@MonkehMiniatures]

Awesome paintjob and video!! Keep it up!

[@kosachilles2504]

Amazing man!! I glue mine together as well ☺️

[@michaelsimmons9296]

I'm so happy I've stumbled across your channel! Such great content!

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks for checking it out, glad you enjoyed!

[@JettoHobby]

That is a very tasty color scheme! Keep up the good work Liam!

[@MMMayhem]

Thank you very much (also thanks for being my Barbatos-alarm clock lol)

[@squaresphere]

Love the progress you've made! Looking forward to when you get a chance to actually use these models for a game

[@MMMayhem]

seeing all 7 of them together at the end is gonna be epic

[@MrDoubled99]

What game? Sounds fun already 😂

[@bryceschilling9632]

those colors are what I was thinking of if I would ever Kit bash with the Gusion rebake full city and Liger Zero Schnider. It looks so cool!

[@MMMayhem]

neat, thanks!

[@Lomhow]

omfg the Jak 3 official guide book at the beginning LMAOOOOO

[@MMMayhem]

I'm glad one of the first comments on this video is about that specific reference lmao

[@RisingFunShow]

4:44 "Oh Lord, he outta stock" is an absolute mood. I just started collecting and assembling Gunpla, and so many models that I wanted have been out of stock. The struggle is real! XD

[@sugarface88]

Great Video. Loved the Monster Marines at the end!

[@LittleGiantCrafts]

Great job as always! This flamin' hot cheeto came out fantastic!

[@MMMayhem]

lmao I can't believe I hadn't thought of it being flamin' hot Cheeto coloured!

[@holung1772]

Yes that is what i ve been doing since the lock down. Picking up old hobby and build some gunpla

[@mugensamurai]

Oh wow I didn't know Jared Leto is into Gunpla. Nice.

[@iimrwaterii]

Happy to find this channel.

[@tomd96]

Absolutely love this idea of using miniature techniques to paint larger scale gunpla, Gusion Rebake Full City was one of the first IBO kits I bought, and it does suffer from the wonky tolerances the earlier gundam frame runners had, I found a few techniques that help (such as painting the ball joints or using floor polish to thicken the joints and tighten them up). Using IBO kits as kitbashing fodder is a great idea too, as most of them are just interchangeable due to the inner frame being mostly the same across different kits (I think this Gusion kit and Barbatos Lupus Rex both had some minor changes). I will have to give this style of painting a go at some point, gundams can be taken apart for easier painting than the miniatures I own (a few necrons and a commander and some marines from one of the recent warhammer magazines), and your result looks clean af.

[@PlasticHobbiesPNW]

This is the first time I have seen Gundam painted in tabletop style. I love it .

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Great video as always!

[@natestewart684]

Love your videos bro!👍Always a pleasure!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥👍👍✊

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks dude

[@hazzard1983]

you have inspired me to try my hand at hand painting. Your models look amazing

[@MMMayhem]

Thank you, good luck painting!

[@antonyriley1854]

Love your content! Keep it up 😁

[@ophawkable]

I love the black hole looking shadow being casted during the claks. 😄 Keep it up! Your hand painting is amazing, especially with orange. I did an infinite justice in orange... It was the worst!

[@CypressJoker]

Great gradient work on this one, SUPER smooth. These videos have really reinvigorated my own love of the hobby - I always wanted to paint my kits, but every time I touch an airbrush something goes wrong. Since watching your first video of this particular method, I've taken two kits that were just sitting in a shoebox and turned them around completely.

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks! That's great to hear, I like revisiting old stuff like that.

[@Blue_Parappa]

Liam tells a bed time story to his unpainted gundams every night to ease the pain of them not being painted yet

[@MMMayhem]

Your models keep asking to be included lol

[@bernardli8943]

Respect to your hard work men. You have an own style art work. Went I watch your video. I'm very was impressive. Ok 🤩👌👍

[@jesustyronechrist2330]

Great work, Gunpla Jesus!

[@virginiawolf4673]

I enjoyed this video. Its fun and i learned some new painting techniques. Ive never built gunpla before but have been playing with the idea for a while. I bought a barbatos from Target a while ago. Haven't touched it but this might be the push i need to get to it :)

[@MMMayhem]

Thanks! Enjoy the Barbatos!

[@ragorian5616]

Dude thats awesome. I want to attempt hand painting at some point

[@zeromod1]

the feet and legs caught the light so well. had to watch it twice

[@rainofwalrus]

That looks incredible!

[@MMMayhem]

Thank you kindly

[@monadamus42]

Great video, love everything you do, bro. Thank you

[@MMMayhem]

you're welcome, and thanks for watching!

[@ishinozaki]

Thank you for this! I love 30 Seconds to Mars!!!

[@MMMayhem]

lol, They've got some bangers for sure!

[@emperorkiva8063]

MMM Style is really cool. But I must say the colorscheme alone without higlights and gradients at 11:44 it's really cool looking. Black and Orange are truly a great colorscheme

[@MMMayhem]

truly, thanks!

[@TheTrelliz]

1:20 that box hit made me wince

[@MMMayhem]

me too lol

[@SirJamestown]

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how you paint the Buster Gundam! It's one of my favorite MG kits I've built.

[@MMMayhem]

I've been looking forward to opening that plastic!

[@chalkdemon8019]

I wonder how Citadel Contrasts, or TAP Speed Paints would work on Gunpla?

[@MMMayhem]

Hmm probably wouldn't work that well for my style; paints like that tend to work well on models that have a lot of texture and details, so all the big armor panels might be hard to get a good finish on... but I'm sure there's some way to pull them off!

[@AFlamingTacos]

Damnit now I want to watch that 6 hour dating sim video again. Great video as always and I'm happy to see more of the model mayhem style, I wanna try it out whenever I finish painting my HG Sinanju.

[@MMMayhem]

lol thanks, I'm slowly rewatching the Cyberpunk review!

[@Agarricus]

I'd love to see your squads in action against each other when they're both fully completed

[@keeleycarrigan]

Really nice

[@archiep9162]

It’s so cool Jared Leto now has a painting channel

[@dougblack9638]

"I'm trying really hard not to make jokes about the shape and location of this piece right now" *Laughs in ReZEL*

[@simonrobertson5622]

Love your creative gunpla customs!!! Would you consider ever doing a gamma wolves battle report so we can see them in action?

[@MMMayhem]

I would like to do one of those videos when I'm ready for the undertaking

[@reanimatedfish]

That is fucking beautiful.

[@kangthecarnivore]

Tip for painting Yellow and Orange! Paint a pink over the white first and those colors will pop!

[@vincentalpiepedrozo2337]

Carrot Gundam. Love the shades of colors.

[@MMMayhem]

lol, carrot Gundam is a good name

[@WhiteWulfe]

Master Grade Buster? Ohhhhhh my, BIG GUN TIME!

[@MMMayhem]

YUh, I don't know if the gun will end up in the final kitbash (cause you know I gotta bash), but I'm certainly looking forward to playing around with it once it's built!

Lots lots of demons waiting for Oxyotl in warhammer III. He ganna be super busy soon.

[@MMMayhem]

[@edimusprime]

This was great! I never thought of gluing them together in a pose. Similar to a warhammer Tau kit then, right? Hmmm Would an IBO or other Gundam grunt possibly make a good Tau proxy? And lastly, Gunpla is FREEDOM!

[@MMMayhem]

I definitely painted tau models years before starting Gunpla. I'm rusty on the game rules, but I'm sure you could pull off some kind of kitbash to work as proxy for a Tau battlesuit (I also don't know if it would be tournament legal ha ha)

[@StudsonStudio]

The big thick turtle papa is my favorite Gusion, too. CyberShrek reasons aside, it's just got such a unique design for customizing and paint schemes. This kitbash turned out delicious looking and I love a good asymmetrical build with a power fist. #plapilled #contentzoned

[@MMMayhem]

Ah yes, that Shrek custom was a great example of the potential of the Gusion! Thank you I'm definitely going to use #plapilled and #contentzoned going forward

[@shantydan864]

I randomly stumbled across your channel and I'm instantly in love with your style. That looks awesome. I have a MG tallgeese I really want to paint like it. I get the edging but how do you do the gradient blend on the black. Also, would you have any tips on how to achieve this on white pieces

[@MMMayhem]

Thank you! The black is just thick to thin edge highlighting, no glazes. I haven't painted a white one yet, but my Vidarbatos kitbash that I've streamed a bit of is going to be! Right now I'm working the gradient up from a blue/grey.

[@ridhofhm6492]

Dude with those painting skills, would you try bulding a gunpla more superb like mg exs gundam ? Itll be fire bruv

[@MMMayhem]

I've hand painted some master and real grades, I find I prefer to work with HG for hand painting. If I had a MG ex kit I would probably just do a straight build to show off the fancy engineering/finished; really depends on the kit though
