HG Gouf Custom build with magnet switched LED monoeye

[@gnaat]

Great video and build! I love that you actually explain and show everything you did, it's so incredibly helpful as somebody trying to learn these things myself.

[@johnnymechahand]

Thanks man. Just trying to share what I do and make it easy for everyone if they are curious to try it for themselves.

[@fredko7086]

I just hope that neither Kai nor Hayato were in that Guntank cockpit. As I really appreciate them. Excellent custom work.

[@johnnymechahand]

I imagine whoever the pilot managed to escape from the pause the gouf had before plunging the sword. 😄

Really appreciate your instructions and explanation, great work ! Thank you

[@johnnymechahand]

Thanks you also!

[@comradegunpla]

Nice!! Finally a full length video! I really wish they made the Guntank mass production type from the show, they look so much better and we'll finally be able to pose that scene properly lol

[@johnnymechahand]

Thanks man. Yeah, I wish we had a kit of it. A proper victim of the gouf. You think would've capitalized on that, reused the bottom half and just made the top half.

[@willisjackson7029]

There’s always scratch building. I’ve seen some people do incredible scratch builds. I have a friend that made a scratch build for the Origin Mobile Worker where he used the Mobile Worker kit and scratch built the lower half into a bulldozer kind of machine with the Mobile Worker’s upper body being used as the normal cockpit area. Then he used the shield and more pla plate to make the scoop on the front of the machine. It even has working treads. The possibilities are endless.

Nice!!! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for watching.

Yass! A narrated video, way to go! I saw your finished build on IG, but didn't catch all the details and modifications that you did. Awesome job, esp. on the LED. I was contemplating using the magnet switch as well and even bought them for that purpose. But couldn't figure out a proper way of utilising them with two lightsources, so I scrapped that idea. Your solution is so elegant, I love it! Learned a lot from this video alone. Thanks for sharing :) Looking forward to more!

[@johnnymechahand]

I dont think I did the narration well tbh. Didn't prepare for it correctly. Yeah, the magnet switches are great, just need thought on how to place them. And I only had one light source so it was easier. I appreciate your support my dude! Love learning from you too!

[@squaresphere]

Amazing guide! I really enjoyed watching you go through this build process. The diorama at the end is just chef's kiss!

I appreciate it man, thank you for watching!

[@neglectedgundam]

Great video. I’m interested to see where you go with your builds

[@johnnymechahand]

Thank you man!

[@GoBerserkNate]

Another awesome build and very clear to follow along. Writing down the magnetic reed switch as an option to incorporate in a future build! Can you twist the wires together if I do not know how to sodder? I can see the benefit of soddering and another technique I will need to try!

[@johnnymechahand]

Twisting the wires would work too! I never thought I would learn to soder myself. Lol.

[@GoBerserkNate]

@@johnnymechahand Good to know! I won’t get ahead of myself but when I’m ready for that next level I will be sure to reach out! 🔥

[@WildinWeasel]

hey dude awesome job on this video and kit! can i ask for where you got the battery from? im looking to do some similar mods to my kits

[@johnnymechahand]

Thank you man. i appreciate it. The LR44 battery size I believe I got from amazon. But I bet hardware shops might have them too.

[@WildinWeasel]

@@johnnymechahand I appreciate your response man thank you very much!, looking forward to your future vids!

[@johnnymechahand]

@@WildinWeasel no problem. Glad to help. Thanks for the support!

[@TDE156]

Out of curiosity, what do you do when the battery for the LED eventually dies out in a setup like this?

[@johnnymechahand]

No other way than to disassemble the chest to change it. But that's the beauty of HG with this kind of setups, it's not super complication and won't take much.

[@reylen3883]

Where can i get that grinding head? Ive been looking for one for a while? Is a set?

[@johnnymechahand]

Iirc, I got mine from mecha warehouse or aliexpress. Dspiae Tungsten grinding heads. They come in a set.
