How to build a MG Gundam

[@philmchawk2940]

for the past 6 years, it's been a thing for my brother and I to watch this every Halloween. We don't make model kits, we have barely any knowledge of Gundam, but we just made it a thing to watch this every year.

[@Crimsonedge1]

That's a strange thing to watch every Halloween with your brother. Still, having such times with your brother is important so you keep on doing it. :)

[@ronaldoishihara]

Don't worry pal, as you're not the only one doing this. You have your brother lol But really, by the total views in this vid we can say for sure that people just like to watch a person's ability, never attempting to do it by themselves (me included).

[@ZombryaTheDark]

Jan Paloma that's weird

[@cappawolf1406]

Phil McHawk its around Halloween now

[@darkhavoc6104]

Phil McHawk tfw I just watched this on Halloween.

[@MakeEmRageQuit]

For all you beginners, NEVER DRILL OR DAMAGE YOUR KIT WHILE IT'S COMPLETED LIKE HE DOES IN THE VIDEO. Always do those types of activities on parts while they're separated from a completed kit. This will allow you greater control of the part, and ensure that if you do happen to screw that part, that you don't screw up anything else as well. You should also paint, panel line, and clear coat parts separately for the same reason.

[@lol3ndir]

Uston Lim Yes, but the message is for beginners.

[@RemiScutlet]

SlaterVJ don't worry he don't hest.

[@scottbruckner4653]

Is it wise to use a saughtering Iron to create bullet holes?

[@ixisid]

You can do it if you want to - the fumes are pretty nasty and it'll mess up the tip pretty badly to the point of not being great for anything like working on circuit boards, but you can do it. Just make sure that it's very, very well ventilated as you do so, and use a cheap junk soldering iron that you don't care about (bonus points if it's one of the crappy ones with a screw on the side - then you can just bolt a razor blade to it instead and not mess up the tip too much)

[@MediumOranges1352]

Its 4am and im watching a man in a wrestling suit instruct me on how to make Gundams I don't even own any Gundams please help.

[@plumdabestP]

Step 1: buy gundams Step 2: build gundams Step 3: use techniques by master Step 4: profit

[@MediumOranges1352]

This weird ass video made me buy one on amazon, thanks wrestling gundam making master. Praise thee.

[@Boosttackle]

Doing the same bro

[@robertyeh]

LOL wow this comment hits home on so many levels

[@giuseppegoddi4304]

same

[@dumdumdoogon1896]

2:37 DO NOT use your fingers. Use tweezers and a cotton bud. Dip the decal in water and hold it in place with tweezers, and use a cotton bud to slide the decal off the back and place. Another tip is if the decal dries in a spot you don’t like, dip the cotton bud in water and replace by sliding. ( this only works right after you apply the decal.)

[@statoilbensin2190]

I have never had problems using my finger, but I try not to as it might leave prints. I use those tiny cottonbuds from Mr hobby and Tamiya. Some Revell decal soft and Tamiys markfit and im done.

[@u.npeacekeeperball432]

Thank you wise one of the comments.

[@souhmonoka7786]

Its an old vid dude pretty sure that they did that before using tweezers

[@elonwhatever]

This was uploaded in 2010... It feels like it was made in the 1990's though.

[@000-v3r5l]

KZbin recommended makes it feel like it was uploaded yesterday pmsl

[@LRRPEXILE]

Or more like in the 1970’s

[@tinyred9710]

but he says literally 20 seconds in "... in 2007.."

[@jimbojambo69420]

elonwhatever the video was filmed in 2004 It says it at the end

[@FullDemiurge]

Question: Do I need a costume to build Master Grades?

[@Chownz]

Yes you do, yes you do!! Flashy mask and cape will get you girls and Gundam skills will become EPIC!!

[@longloco1]

a char mast and a blonde hair wig helps too oh and don't forget some shades if youre doing zeta kits

[@kidkhaos9162]

+Trinidad Marin Lol I'm dying in the comment section! HAHAHAHAA!!

[@JJOOKER]

+FullDemiurge The best costume is some clean underwear...

[@wangkiyu]

+FullDemiurge Of course, if you wanna be pro like the guy in the video! XD

[@Krystalmyth]

You could just take your Zaku out for a walk and then throw him into a ravine. When he comes back, he'll have learned the skills to survive on your desk.

[@rockmandx1506]

If the techniques are used, it looks AWESOME. SO cool.

[@comradeq2493]

DONT HASTE!!!

[@squidyy2k]

Seriously though, how the hell did he do *That* with the stuff presented in the video? We learned how to weather and drill holes into gunpla, not completely remodel a kit

[@crusty.kamikaze]

So alive and active

[@holanoobs]

Hah, everyone knows Zakus never return from a battle.

[@waaa9waaa9waaa9]

except the odd-colored ones.

[@DustyLancer]

[@danielyoo1165]

What about the super custom f2000?

[@mikemejia4680]

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

Well, not everyone can go at 3x speed, you know.

[@parasite-b9604]

I really wish this guy would narrate my life... That would be super cool!

[@dumitracherares3605]

Woah, slow down there edgy pants

[@6CptSlow]

SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEWHERE!

[@phantomshotgun]

for a guy dressed as a luchador this is sound advise and tips for new model makers or folks who want to add that personal touch to their gundams or other models

[@barneyli6851]

Nobody: Japanese Gunpla Builder in wrestling suite: "When these techniques are applied, it looks awesome, so cool." *Kicks in the air.

[@lbchaos4413]

This is honestly one of the most wholesome and cheesy things I've seen in a while.

[@RaqueteQuizumba]

Step 1 : Buy a gundam kit Step 2 : Sand that shit Step 3 : ????? Step 4 : Profit

[@Huaro]

And remember, no need to haste. The haste is not realistic, no cool.

[@kite0impulse]

The information presented in this video might be somewhat outdated, but the way in which its presented is absolutely timeless

[@fraymond3]

I'm glad this randomly popped up in my feed! For me it seems every decade or so I get the urge to build a Gundam model. My first one I was around 10, it was a snap together. My second one I was in my early 20's when I was laid up after a surgery. It was a nice paint and glue kit and I took my time. Now I'm in my mid 30's and the urge has been there for about 5 years now. After seeing this and learning there are next level tutorials on the KZbins? I think it's time, plus I've had to drastically cut back on my beer drinking and I'm bored AF! Thanks for uploading!

[@jakobvonbugmann]

I hope you had fun dude

[@cracklasco]

"See you again somewhere!" Should I expect you in my room?

[@Zephyrs009]

Yes

[@antigrav6004]

As someone who's been painting warhammer models for 12 years, i can say these are decent techniques, but it's on a completely different scale than i've been used to. I may have to utilize a few of these techniques.

[@Apollo_Vanron]

I am curious to know if you ever tried any of these techniques.

[@yugorisfriwan]

This must be like the most entertaining gunpla tutorial ever... So cool!

[@MysteriousAnon42]

*Super Cool

[@kidkhaos9162]

+Austin Geiger lol bruh!

[@varinchuenrudeemol4186]

So cool!...not

[@dalekdracula8687]

I'm still a fairly new builder, and these tips are much easier to understand and follow than other videos I've seen. thanks for the help!

[@868edgar]

No need to haste

[@JackindaSack]

for gunpla? I reccomend Testors Plastic or Krazy. on the other hand, the glue they huffed to think of this is probably krazy or GF9.

[@diver3604]

It’s cool how the zaku was made over 10 years ago and it’s still better than some recent model kits lol

[@IfthiAli]

I love one of the most decent videos on the subject on KZbin is also one of the weirdest and quirkiest.

[@LordSpleach]

Makes sense.

[@mob1900]

...and he did ALL that while in a costume.

[@constanciadeestudio3156]

mob1900 the costume gives him powers over the model kits

[@Drooook]

Ik this is a comment from 5 years ago but that’s not him

[@Astronopolis]

this guy talks like a doge meme

[@masterkent1]

Astronopolis I fuckin loled hard

[@milmil5350]

*It's the Japanese accent. Most Japanese men speak like this.* Don't think it's nice to relate that to a meme, but I understand that a lot of people might not have been exposed to hearing such an accent before. 😃

[@jamesyahoo4758]

It's the you got a Dell dude

[@RemTV]

so cool

[@rawrforme68123]

this is the best general tutorial i have seen on how to build gundams. Thanks!

[@noahbond7179]

As someone who's never built a Gundam and needs help finding out how to properly build and detail, this is undoubtedly the most useful video I have seen. Please help me.

[@HyperfixationWizard]

It's amazing how a tutorial from almost 10 years ago still holds up today

[@elipse371]

Now,it’s nearly 12 years old lol

[@Blackcloud288]

lmao no

[@davidhovik7176]

still going. lol

[@Username-ky3lr]

This video is so cool and real that I want a part 2. Please make it happen luchador gundam making master

[@GarrKhan]

I enjoyed watching this. Honestly this was way better than most model making tutorials.

[@r.creator5576]

I don't think a zaku can 'return' from a battle lol

[@angeluisidro8444]

+Ultra Prime Well, Maybe Not For Char

[@r.creator5576]

+Angelu Isidro (PlaneFan882) 😂😂😂

[@Tummyvvub]

[@letsplayallweek]

i puted too match damaged on my model, how do i recover it?

[@ryanku1135]

You are awesome, no joke best Gundam model vid by far.

[@dustinjeffries526]

Hands down bruh, shit got real.

[@syrisgleam3356]

Ok, I'll admit. It looks really idiotic at first, but making the Gundam looked damage was pretty cool.

[@Skull_Gun]

14:08 "See you again somewhere." deep acknowledgment we are all made of the same star dust and after your life is over we'll all be together again, but the question is were we even truly apart to being with?

[@Keeferd]

Will this video help me pick up chicks?

[@kidkhaos9162]

YA it will be *super cool

[@cardboardsnail]

+Keith VonBernewitz You can do it, don't haste! ;D

[@georgei5328]

only if make sure to paint with thickness

[@brandonwiles-n8t]

+Keith VonBernewitz no way man, chicks don't like nerds.

[@BREAKENSTEIN]

+kopa shamsu some chicks are nerds.

[@drunkirby18]

This video is inspiring me to relive my old hobby. Buy I never made up to the Master Grade levels. Guess I got a lot of research in finding gundam marker pens and other supplies. Wish me luck.

[@TienAnta]

I'm trying to figure out how this made it into my recommended videos..

[@sealkaijugang8868]

If you watch gunpla videos then that makes sense but if not KZbin is drunk again

[@Yuki_Seraphim]

~magic~

[@xtrmn8r16]

I dont even build kits, but this just popped up in my suggestions and I was so entertained that I stayed for the whole video. I think I'm going to order a model kit now.

[@PK-starstorm1995]

this guy is awesome!!!! as a fellow builder just starting out last year i say thanks for the great tips!!!!

[@jirehjirehjirehjireh]

There isn't a single more iconic video about gunpla than this

[@lost_memories]

This vid is more educational than 70% of the vids on youtube.

[@nickfrank7807]

Thank you for posting this! I'm glad to see these tutorials translated. It's very fun and informative!

[@apaleguy]

>spends hundreds of dollars on model kit >spends money on tools >tries to make model kit look COOL >finishes >questions life

[@reyian451]

i like to make them look clean

[@r.creator5576]

Exactly my mum is like "son" the stuff u buy to make the model kit look "cool" is more expensive the the frickin thing itself

[@fightmike9660]

I feel you. These videos really need to say "Your first few kits are going to look like absolute garbage, so buy spares."

[@_Kami_Kami]

Ultra Prime u mean *SUPER COOL!*

[@mellowyello1478]

Matt Mike I tend to buy GMs, Balls and other cheap kits to test stuff on.

[@josephstttalin2367]

I love the long silence during the part where he panel lines the destiny’s back skirt. So real.

[@domoboy911]

lol i like how hes like do it gently, steady and shit but rushes all of em

[@PigeonSquawks]

Never have I've so reassured about the quality of an instruction given due to one's attire. I'm in good hands.

[@ShirakoTheFirst]

This was very informative, a good start for people looking to get into this kind of work.

[@survivalgames4949]

The kick at the end killed me.

[@Xuepreme69]

This is an a amazing tutorial. I will be building my first perfect grade to a master grade.

[@artycharr]

4:45 "Select as you like, its upto you" this is great life advice!

[@thepsychicspoon5984]

Thank you Luchadore El Silencio. Your Gundam making skill is only rivaled by your ringside matches.

[@sharkbaitcustoms6111]

Anyone here from other dimensions that can confirm that the Zaku that returned still looks cool returning from battle?

[@cinnamon-skateboarding5987]

This is the video that got me into Gundam kits.

[@erllukep.2159]

I always laugh every time this pops on my recommendation because I know this video got me into gunpla building. Thanks I guess

[@anoninstinct]

i just got into gunpla and this video was recommended. Seeing this now brings back some nostalgic memories. I know i’ve seen it before but i don’t know when.

[@TheJanvicgwaps]

This Hobby makes my Wallet Dry af.

[@limeguy9597]

The man inside the costume just gained my full sympathy with that last kick in the camera

[@not-a-w33b]

9 years later and it's still a very educative tutorial.

[@vijaysstudio]

You have a great voice and manner of speaking... easy to understand. Good vid

[@ReggyPoerwoko]

"so real. impressive"

[@stephenmccall3351]

[@warcatbattalion]

SUPER COOL

[@antonydrossos5719]

I've been assembling model kits since I was 8 years old (that's back in 1979), and started on Gundam & other mecha models back in 1990, but YOU, SIR are the mecha model Shidoshi!

[@Tclans]

It's very reel, you can do it it! SUPER COOL!

[@skyeguy7914]

This was recommended to me because I’ve been looking up model kit tips recently. I just find that funny.

[@tonynewlands8505]

Just putting my first Gundam model together at the moment using techniques from my old Airfix & 40K days. These tips are really useful (especially hiding the joins) don't think I have the heart to start adding battle damage to these beautiful little kits just yet though :S

[@monkeydud6437]

Is there anymore of this guy anywhere? I'm using some of these techniques right now and he was very helpful!

[@ZeroDown88]

Coming from a tabletop wargaming background I'm intrigued by Japanese kits, the scale models are great but I think I'd like to give Gundam style robots a try. Do you guys paint your kits?

[@DizBukHaPeter]

You don't have to paint since most of the parts are molded in the proper colors. I like to paint small parts or details. Some people paint custom color schemes like the colors of their favorite ace.

[@elipse371]

Yeah,especially now,you don’t have to paint the kits Unless you get something like a HGBF Qubeley Papillion or a HGGR Gaeon,the kit you’d get would usually be very colorful Especially with stuff like modern RGs,which are loaded with colors,the RG Tallgeese,for example,has 4 different shades of white,with some having a gloss finish and others having matte

[@locoman071]

I was engaged, entertained and learned something. Well done!

[@demoniktusk758]

Is it weird that i really dont want to put any kind of ''worn out'' effect on my gunpla like chipping, rust and dirt or dust, i like shading but i just dislike them not looking in their best shape

[@Kareem.Caramel]

No I like the kits to look like they’ve come out of a factory too

[@elipse371]

Yeah me too Weathering your kits has its charm,but having a pristine kit that is just how the designers envisioned it is even better

[@GallonMilkProductions]

No i love this

[@PsychoBoots1]

I don't know what compelled me to watch this full video but I did... I just purchased a Gundams and will apply the Master's technique!

[@brucecoulda1596]

I don't even do model kits. I honestly don't know why I'm here.

[@d2cuadrados]

The thumbnail got me here, was really curious was this video was gonna be. Nonetheless I have this super hero wrestler teaching me how to build a gundam. This is so 90s lmao

[@ethanellis2896]

This was wonderful. May we ever see this again? Who knows but theres hope!

[@JackindaSack]

it's like Duncan Rhodes and Strong Bad had a child

[@joshomeara6106]

Idk if anyone else has this but this video is very nostalgic when I was getting into anime and gundam I saw this vid and that was a very long time ago so I just love this just and it just makes me happy seeing this video

[@Pico_de_Guile]

Now I'm a total noob to gunpla and even though the end result of his gundam looks good, is it me or did he kinda half ass all the steps in the tutorial?

[@lanzaldentorres2795]

+Mando Jimenez nah its kewl

[@smashingapple9881]

it was half-assed but we get his points

[@RedWolf777SG]

It is a bit half ass, but this tutorial would be useful to those who just got started making gunpla models. They can learn more modeling tips from other sources as they as go. =3

[@jacobb5484]

It shows how it looks good even if you half ass it with no skill. Otherwise it may discourage beginners

[@luisaguada7761]

I just love this guy enthusiasm. "Super cool", "That's awesome". Oh yeah who the fuck else is watching in 2018?

[@UltraKing2K]

I don't even own any japanese figurines, why was I so intrigued by this?

[@UrFriendDarkBen]

+Ultra King the weeabo in you is coming out

[@makeyoumoved8532]

UrFriendDarkBen lol Long time no see

[@sub0sandwich32]

Ultra King they aren't figurines, they are model kits

[@ColonelCarnage]

Believe me these things are like crack. They make you want to buy them even when you have zero interest.

[@randomuser1579]

Gunpla is freedom

[@cheapshotninja]

I don't know how I ended up here but here we are. I was never really interested in making models, of anything cars, planes or Gundams, but after watching this video I have to say, I'm kind of interested. You're obviously invested in this and you come off genuinely enough, overall it's a great video bud. I mean I'm probably not gonna jump on the next model I see, but, next time I come across a hobby shop I may just linger awhile.

[@Choco_Nutter]

Take a shot each time he says “Cool” goodnight ma man

[@OmoroiYankee]

I like this video. They way they made it looks fun and entertaining, make me feel like I should get back in making Gumpla. I learn a lot watching this tutorial and some other trick that I never knew.

[@eliladd2355]

this is my favorite video ever lol

[@octaviusmanago8640]

thanks Dark Ben, I've been an addict for many years now but have been very hesitant to try air brush and stuff you just showed us. Very informative indeed. Maybe I just did not want to damage my kits. I prefer 1/100 scale.

[@statoilbensin2190]
