This master chief is amazing, i really love it

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thanks for watching! This Master Chief is my favorite 1/12 action figure ever! 😉

[@thundercrowx1]

Caught this figure on clearance for $75! Looks amazing but definitely will be weathering him up.

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Wow, great price! I paid $160 for my figure. About weathering, do it slowly and be patient when doing it. Don't be in a hurry to finish. I believe the weathering will be super cool!

[@xg5886]

What? Where did you get it for that cheap. Please share!

[@thundercrowx1]

[@maning04]

Excellent weathering! I wish I could weather my figure like this, but I'm too afraid to do it due to the price. 😅 Great job btw!

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

😂😂 thanks my friend! I really cannot recommend you to do this if you are not confident in practicing. However, I can recommend you to practice on a bootleg figure, I guess 😅

[@davidsilva6664]

Wow just wow it was amazing what u did with the figure and the process was really fun to watch

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thanks, David!! 👊👊

[@user-bq9vn1vc2v]

Great job!. I really enjoyed this video and your hard work. Best of luck to you!

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thanks for your support, my friend! I appreciate it. Take care! Cheers!

[@gender121210]

Bro Excellent work It is the best custom I have seen on all of you tube I will continue watching your videos I hope to see other halo figures

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Gracias por seguir mis vídeos, hermano! Estoy pensando en hacer el Grappleshot para fijar la figura pronto. Pero primero tengo que terminar dos videos y actualizarlos. Saludos desde Japon!!

[@TarkentonLarry-iu3qp]

Fuck....that is nicely done! I can't say perfect, but it's close to it.

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend. I appreciate it 👊

[@dylanclaeys6084]

Incredible job

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thank you mate!! the video is long, but I think it is worth watching the entire video to get a sense of the weathering process 👍🏻 Cheers!!

Incredible

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thanks, mate! 🙌🏻

[@heftymagic4814]

That was insane

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Love it! Thanks, my friend! 👊🏻

[@masonhtoo6742]

Nicely done 👍

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thanks, mate! My next project to complement his gear is to try making his Grappleshot. Thanks for watching!👊

[@R4MMST31N666]

excellent work !! One question, do you use any varnish spray at the end so that the custom paint is not erased? Thank you

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thank you mate! Actually I could apply one coat of mat varnish, but I wasn't confident to do that. Mr.Hobby is a strong paint lacquer metallic, I don’t think it becomes out easily. Anyway, if you do one coat of mat varnish on your figure probably his looks get better, I guess. So, until now I can’t detect any problem with my armor suit. 😉

[@nomelck]

Excelent work

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thank you ! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Danxiky08]

That looks so game accurate! Great video, was really helpful too. Btw any tips on where to apply the paint? Want to try this on something

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Hello, mate! Thanks for watching! So I recommend, first, you practice on a bootleg figure or something similar because if something unexpected happens, your original figure will be safe. A very important tip that I can give is: to be resilient. Have patience and, do not want to finish weathering work quickly. Do not paint with the naked eye. Buy a bench magnifier and try to do exactly as I did in the video. Enjoy the weathering process. 😀👍 Take care!!

[@awelojoe5544]

Amazing repaint

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Thank you mate! My plan to the next opportunity is elaborate a small diorama to him or something like that 👍🏻

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Now John looks like he's been through it.

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

I simply love this figure! 👊🏻👊🏻

[@JJO117]

This looks awesome. Would be interesting if you used Rubber filler for the shoulders.

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

That would be cool, but first I want to make the grappleshot to him 👊🏻

[@PrivateFrog-yd3vm]

Now i'm litteraly buying halo infinite because of this video lmao

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

😀😀A good choice, mate! I really love this Halo figure. the armor suit is amazing! I'm slowly making a Grappleshot for him. I'll probably edit a step-by-step video about it soon.

[@lordofgrunts22]

I'll definitely try this on some of the cheaper jazwares figures

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Hi, mate! Yes, definitely you are right! I recommend first you improve your techniques working on this cheap one and then you can try to make a smoothly weathering on the 1000Toys figure. Thanks for watching and Keep modeling your miniature 👊🏻👍🏻

[@arberchabot8760]

Hi! The tamiya enamel panel liners dont melt/affect the paint on this thing? Im not sure if they added a protective coat over it, kinda scared to ruin it

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Hello! Tamiya enamel does not contain abrasives that can melt the plastic. However, try to apply it very carefully and be quick when removing the excess, as it may stain the plastic. I recommend that you test it on other surfaces before applying it to the original Halo armor figure. Good luck !!👍👍

[@hustinzeitmeyer696]

What is the sponge material you used for the x-10 paint application??

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

You can use a simple sponge cleaning, for exemplo … 🧽 👍🏻

[@exodus2oo]

wow never thought about using a magnet!@

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

I wondered exactly about that 😄 Thanks for watching!

[@exodus2oo]

@@biginjapan.miniatures what did you use to paint the silver on the rifle? never seen that kind of brush before.

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

@@exodus2oo I used Pebeo Gedeo Gilding Wax and Tamiya Supermetallic 2. After applying both, you need to apply a coat of matte varnish to fix the silver color.

[@exodus2oo]

@@biginjapan.miniatures 24:40 what about this brush? did you make this yourself to paint such a small area?

[@SickestToys]

What is the name of the little square container you put your water and paint in ? I need that so bad idk the name of item

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

This is a Gode Painting Palette. There are many different types, sizes, and shapes of them. You can find it in Fine Art Stores 👍

[@SickestToys]

Any protective coat to seal the entire figure? Matte? Or anything ?

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

I recommend Mr Super clear matt spray Varnish ,170ml or Mr Super Clear UV Cut Gloss spray. 👍🏻

[@DENSUTUBE2008]

Does the weathering pastels come off when handeling?

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

If you handle it too many times, it will probably come off. Thanks for watching! 👊🏻

[@MeMyselfI_69]

SOOOOOO Much better. I need to "try" and replicate this on mine.

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Totally agree with you! 👍🏻 I recommend you try it on a bootleg figure first and then, when you feel confident enough with your skills you can start to working on your 1000toys figure. 🫡

[@cam83ish]

Hi friend, do you do commission work at all? Such an amazing job here 🙏 please let me know.

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Hello! How is it going, my friend? Unfortunately my time is short, I can’t be accepting commissions for awhile. Thanks for watching and, keep watching my next works if you can.

[@morienforeshadow4553]

At 6:17 you used Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color to line the figure, does this not damage the plastic?

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color absolutely does not damage the plastic. If you leave it on too long, it will probably stain. Apply the Panel Line and remove the excess immediately afterward. It can be removed with water or diluted alcohol, I guess 👊🏻 👍🏻

[@morienforeshadow4553]

@@biginjapan.miniatures Thanks for the tip! Great video btw.

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

@@morienforeshadow4553 Anytime bro! Appreciate it! 👊🏻

[@benmacleod7000]

I don’t trust myself enough for the full repaint. I have repainted so black series figures and others of the sort but not for this guy lol. However, I do want to at least use the weathering pastels, so you think those will come off easily if that’s all I do?

[@biginjapan.miniatures]

I see bro… 😄 so, you can use Tamiya weathering pastels easily. The pastel application will only be removed if you frequently handle the action figure. 👍🏻

Can i ask does the figure heavy??

The box with the figure inside weighs 400g. Probably the figure out of the box will weigh 200g.
