Gundam Review: 1/100 Virgo

[@gunhed70]

Building from scratch in my opinion is the most difficult things to do in modeling, but also the most rewarding, this is an amazing model!

[@WingZeroHakai]

Makes me wish you work for bandai or something

[@gdc7]

thanks for sticking with it brother i hope you know how much all the subscribers appreciate and look forward to your projects, keep it going!

[@jeoboy]

Simply amazing. The best parts are knowing that this is only the first and you'll definitely get even better. Congratulations and do your best.

[@TheDeathscythe09]

love the virgo n the cut in half version in your flickr pictures is sick....once again amazing job sir

[@Arrowdodger]

This is phenomenal. The beam shield was genius, and works perfectly for this.

[@DevasiaMentalityGaming]

it's always bugged me how underrepresented the Mobile Dolls are in plastic given how they were basically the biggest threat throughout the second half of the series. Sure we see a few leos and the one RD ares, but in terms of the Virgo it seems scratch builds like this are the only option =/

[@deathscythe213]

i agree with u dude

[@RandomTuber782]

Probably the coolest mass production unit from wing. After following this build from day one I have run out of words. This is simply stunning and a can't wait to see more, especial the mercurius and vayeate. If I had this kinda skill I'd make a mark 2 of those two because they defiantly need some love.

[@ForeverWinter1812]

I just want you to know, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your work with the world.

[@Deathscythe92]

Truly an amazing job man. I love the planet defensers and the stand-alone action base attachment that you made. The suit is just about perfect to me, the only thing thats off to me is that the ball joint makes the upper torso sit a little high so there's that gap in the middle. But that is minor, especially considering that it is a scratch build. As a fellow extreme Gundam Wing Fan I am happy to see it finished and am waiting (patiently as always) for Virgo II!!

[@bluspeed7]

I swear this should be in dengeki hobby,newtype, gundam guy, hell the whole gundam world needs to see this!!! You would think that some guy in japan would've done this already, but you beat them to the jump. Awesome job and I can't wait to see the others. I see big things in your future Henry well done.

[@tresesaussies]

best custom I've ever seen. the destroy virgo next to the wing was just awesome

[@RetroBotMk2]

I remember seeing this creation on another site/blog along with a quote saying something like "all you need to do is believe..." with vegeta8259 below it. Great job btw, right on the mark.

[@Sigma0283]

Dude this Virgo model you made is absolutely amazing!

[@wingzerofor]

this is so good, the paint job the sculpting everything bravo,

[@pastabowltomato1]

The diorama shot with Wing EW is epic! Congratulations of the build

[@midgitguy13]

Fantastic work! I haven't commented on your videos before, I usually just watch them and am grateful you post them. But I could not resist this time, you did an amazing job! this model looks fantastic!, I have watched all of these Virgo videos and you are very impressive, please keep posting your videos! and i look forward to the rest of your Oz project :)

[@vitzrsx]

I was blown away by the accessories and the comical value it entails!

[@A-Monkman]

You are truly a gifted man, I love to see these models made great work and keep going :D!

[@CasuallyCrafted3D]

Awsome! Turned out amazing! No need to appologize for the time, because OBVIOUSLY the final product turned out great! Keep up the good work, Henry!

[@monadamus42]

Standing ovation good. You actually made the shield parts detachable. Bless you and your work.

[@greyphantom1000]

congrats henry. U did it!!! Sincerely good for you bud, you are a gunpla trailblazer

[@VersusZ]

This is why I wish Bandai would go with a HGAC line... Virgo definitely deserves an official kit but THIS is definitely some really nice work!! Your dedication really shows with the end result.

[@bong264]

best scratch build I've seen so far. great work mang!

[@SentinelGundam]

dude you are intense about your kits. Gotta say you are a total badass when it comes to scratch building.

[@SiopaoSauc3]

I can't wait to see you do Taurus. I'd like to see one in regular colors and one in Noin colors. Congrats on you first scratch build it looks damn good.

[@migsprats]

GREAT JOB!! I really REALLY like that idea for the planet defensers, can't wait to see the one of Mercurius!! You're an awesome inspiration for all aspiring modelers out there including myself, keep doing what you do!! :D

[@shurkaku]

Your Vergo is amazing the shading and colors real nice.

[@mvm3897]

Well I have to say,I hate that design but man you did a fantastic job on it. Very nice Henry, your skills are getting insane. Nice work.

[@Nirvash24]

Congrats on a awesome job. can't wait to see more OZ project kits

[@tendaloin]

Great work Henry! I personally love grunt/fodder suits way more than actual gundams! I haven't seen Gundam Wing in ages, so as I kept seeing this WIP progress, I was thinking you were actually making the mercurius(or maybe vayeate). I completely forgot that there was a Virgo. Anyway keep up the awesome videos, and keep giving the fodder suits as much love as you give your gundams. Without the fodder suits gundam would be a terrible franchise. Gundam vs equally powerful suits gets boring :D!

[@InstantZzz]

Really great job, love the paint scheme. I'm sorry about the resin arm being loose. I have to admit, it does look smaller than your original. I really like what you did the accessories but... But I don't care for the changes you did to the 'pop out' generator in the shoulder. I honestly don't like the turbine fins. At least the way you did it. If you're happy with it then that fine and I do like kit overall. So again, great job, and can't wait for Virgo 2 and the rest.

[@espio708]

it looks amazing dude can't wait to see your other oz project kits

[@KingBronzeL]

Keep inspiring the community. I myself am trying to figure out all the details on a custom paint scheme for a ng 1/100th Gundam 00(no 0 raiser) and if I can manage it I plan to make a customized scythe.

[@MisterSouji]

This has inspired me to continue working on my 1/144 Nightingale scratchbuild. Thanks.

[@rey2103]

Awesome work Henry, really impressed by the amount of hard work and passion you put into this hobby of yours. Keep being awesome!

[@libertydestiny1109]

Congrats Henry!!! IT looks amazing. When you took the shoulder part I was like no way. And then i was like yeah he did that too..that is so awesome to have made a generator!!

[@MobileSuitBob]

wow that is a work of art! so much work and it all paid off! great job man!

[@YJin55]

Congratulations!! Watched the whip from the beginning, looks great!

[@crapmunky99]

This is amazing, Henry. Absolutely amazing. I just can't get over how great this is... And I LOVE the bonus accessories! LMAO at 16:23 Job VERY well done! I can't wait to see what you do next! ^_^

[@joelleday1591]

I wish they sold these somewhere..

[@below61]

you never cease to amaze.

[@Strike105]

This is an amazing piece of work. My only nitpick is that the disk fins are very uneven. When the part is on the shoulder, my eyes are instantly drawn to it. I understand that adding those fins and that making sure they line up perfectly can be very difficult, especially when they have to be at an angle on a surface like that, but as it is, it's an eyesore that draws attention away from the rest of the kit. Still, it's much better than I could ever hope to do. Good luck on the rest your project.

[@BadlanderOutsider]

I imagine the two Aquatic suits might be hard to do, but a lot of the Virgo parts can be used for Virgo 2, Vayeate and Mecurius, so that'll save a lot of time.

[@Rghosst]

This thing is incredible, amazing job as always

[@richard1701able]

Holy **** that is one amazing model you built there!!! Send pics to Hobby Japan and Dengeki Hobby this instant!!!!

[@ivantorres3350]

Are you selling the vergo kit ?

[@TribalSpider13]

awesome work man now I really can't wait to see the rest of them.

[@imrn]

Congratulations Vegeta8259

[@Darkman1233]

I HATE that this isnt an MSIA! Thank you like 1000X for uploading. Didnt know this even existed.

[@MarkSynthesis]

I can learly see that this was a labor of love and quite possibly a unique piece in the world (well, maybe outside of Bandai's workshops). Really like the color choice. 2 points: - Like in MG models, it won't do forward-firing two-hand pose (as in the show). Same B-Club Aries too...sad, since it's in the show. Guess you'd need hands telescoping at the wrist to do that. - You spelled it "Romefeller". I'm just familiar with it spelled "Romefeller." Reference to Latin? All the same, amazing work!

[@TekkaSage]

Would be rather easy for you to make the Virgo II if you wanted.

[@jiminboo]

Great job Henry... now that you are the scratch build master, you should consider using tiny, super strong neodymium magnets for things like attaching / detaching beam rifle cables, turbine fins, etc...

[@joshwatson3737]

My only slight complaint would be I think the beam cannon generator 'fins/fan blades' are too large, in all the footage I've seen they seem to be the same wide, if not slightly smaller. But other than that, wow absolutely amazing.

[@drdoom1337]

My astrological sign is Virgo. I've been toying with the idea of either scratching my own or buying a garage kit of the old 1/144 B-Club. If you were to recast parts, I'd definitely buy them off of you!

[@CaptainJewtastic]

Looks amazing, and I wish I could scratch build like this haha. The only thing I don't like is the energy shield. Great idea but it would've been cool if it was rounded a little. I'm not sure if that's show accurate tho so I don't hold it against the build.

[@zerofir3]

Awesome model kit, just one small error. On the chest where the two halves come together it should have a red line that extenss up to under the head. It's still an awesome kit though, keep up the awesome work.

[@exekutiv9]

Holy shiz. Gratz Vegeta. Looks epic. Great work.

[@neilwood5081]

Very cool dude. The battle damage effect parts look great! Just adding those jacks up the selling price quite a bit. Not that I would sell it if it was mine. Hell to the no!!! Great job on this kit dude.

[@sujinjian]

You've got a point there .... Henry did say he wanted to buy another Wing Gundam and paint it up with an airbrush...

[@nohmekop]

This looks amazing. I'm disappointed that there isn't any official virgo models available to purchase. One of my favorite designs.

[@BadlanderOutsider]

Absolutely stunning.

[@MattisProbably]

Try to get it onto the Gundam Guy blog so that it get's the attention it deserves! This really does look amazing afterall, and I really do like the "battle damage" (more like catastrophical damage! O_O) parts that you made!

[@aperse1701]

Absolutely Superb. Keep it up Henry. Looking forward to Virgo 2.

[@tetsujin_144]

Good work is worth waiting for. (...And this is good work! So don't sweat the timing!) I don't like the look of the generator vanes, though, they're kind of thick. The gaps around the neck and mid-torso joints are also kind of unflattering. Overall though, it is really cool. Congratulations on finishing it.

[@TheSpanky1995]

Amazing job I can't wait to see the next project

[@duomaxwell90]

i dont comment alot but everytime i do i cant find the words to descirbe on what an amazing job you always do on your kits. but this is just....WOW!!

[@wewyllenium]

Nice work. I used to use marine or industrial epoxy. Hope to see more

[@xenofan]

Wow i don't know what to said it looks FANTASTIC!!! GJ man!

[@wingnut323]

Nice work Henry... you really should design and make one... a Vegeta Custom MS...

[@RedWolf777SG]

Holy hell, this is amazing dude! Henry, you are the man!!!

[@tetsujin_144]

I'm guessing not. Honestly the one-year timeline always seemed a bit unlikely to me. But on the other hand, remember that completing the Virgo gives him a number of parts he can reuse for Virgo II, Mercurius, and Vayeate. I bet he could get those three, at least, done by the end of the year. Then that leaves Tragos, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, and a new Leo, which I expect would carry over into the next year. I think completing Virgo is by itself a pretty nice accomplishment, though.

[@Arro3]

Just... epic. You are just too good man. That energy shield is excellent.

[@sashant1018]

An amazing kit and love the box art lol.

[@sonicrockmanx]

Very cool Virgo! But your kinda wrong in saying that its a kit that I cannot buy anywhere. True that I cannot get it in the size of 1/100, but I can get it in a size 1/144. But of course a 1/100 is much better because its bigger which gives room for more details and features, as 1/144 not so much. But any size of a kit can be customized. I can get the Virgo in 1/144. But excellent touch on the energy shield accessory! Very cool! I would of done that too myself! lol!

[@gundam0079]

once your finished with the oz project, perhaps submit all of them as a diorama or something of the sort to a builders championship? idea.

[@YuriBo26]

"Destroyed" extra parts for cannon fodders is the best accessories for kits ever!!! Besides, the group shot was really amazing :')

[@ludovicocammisa9320]

The romefeller decal is misspelled...also sell your molds to bandai or dragon momoko or who you want so we peasants can enjoy this kits too

[@TooStupidGamerz]

simply amazing. I hope Bandai sees this and we can get virgos and leos too

[@RW-Navigator]

I have been following how you did this one from cratch. You are a master craftsman. Hats off to you. About not able to buy it anywhere.....SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

[@ConvoyGTR]

Even better than I thought it was going to be!

[@GillytheKid7]

Fantastic work! Again, thanks for sharing this with us.

[@VlogVerite]

looks awesome! saw a B-Club Aries in a shop the other day and really wanted to buy it (after seeing your videos) but it was something like 9,800 yen!

[@BahamutNihil]

Amazing!! I especially love the battle scar

[@brushfire248100]

The only Virgo kit available on the market is the Virgo II Serpent from the endless waltz movie

[@marvinhermoso9750]

for me sir you are a god of gunpla :) super saiyan god vegeta :) how ironic because you become a god even before vegeta (anime: dragon ball super) even become a super saiyan god :)

[@RayWarlord]

Holy crap. This is awesome! Nicely done.

[@MyBunshin]

Wow... amazing kit!

[@RamblingEngineer]

Great work mate, keep up the good work!

[@Rodimus214]

You did an awesome job bro would be awesome if u could mass produce the virgo would like to have one

[@bobing]

The effect parts are a very nice touch, "They are cursed to explode upon the sight of a gundam" Lol

[@wes55463]

WOW that camee out really good man big props! hey since you already have the molds you should sel your own resin kits xD id totally buy one

[@xGiVeNuPx]

looking forward for virgo II

[@BRindustries]

LOL Best box art i've ever seen :P Very nice model there. Ever thought of making a 100% orginal design like wingnut323 suggested? It's clear you have the skills to do so, i'd love to see how that would turn out.

[@MasterRamboide84]

It looks incredible, what commitment!! i guess this became a 4 year project?

[@theIdlecrane]

awesome as usual. especially awesome in fact. well done!

[@Hujak100]

I know nothing about this gundam, but you've done a great job.

[@fireartist169]

FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bonvo86]

you should seriously consider recasting and make these i know you said earlier on that you didnt want to do that due to detail issues but i know i would buy some ice always wanted to make a diorama of the final fight in wing and these would be perfect for it

[@xxANBUxx]

Great job! I never realized how short virgos legs are.
