Improving My Gunpla Display

#Gundam #Gunpla #Diorama
This week, I decided to give Gunpla a try. I've been asked many times to use Gundam or Zaku in a diorama, but never have until now. I'm super happy with how this one turned out and I am excited do more. The articulation of the kits lends itself to some dynamic and exciting composition possibilities!

I just love how vibrant and neon it looks, truly an epic battle

[@erc3338]

Very Gundam Thunderbolt

[@AnvilAlex]

Sieg neon!

[@turtlegaming4427]

@@AnvilAlex lol

[@xXCORRONXx]

So freakin sick, shame the Zaku doesn't have a littleight for its eye though

[@rhino202]

I'm always amazed how well the final product comes out. The lights and smoke trails look so realistic, in such an unrealistic scene

[@phantomvulcan2206]

Indeedy, his lighting work covers all the other stuff

[@64bitrobot]

I really love the way you use the filaments and airbrushed cotton to capture such amazing dynamic moments in a static scene. I'd love to see a diorama going over the top with this effect.

[@Unit_With_Legs]

I think using it sparsely to give an accent to this piece is what makes the effect 🤔

[@wallabaatar]

This build just confirms that anything you decide to do is exceptionally done! Love the lights and smoke, and would love to see more Gunpla dioramas!

[@KnarbMakes]

I remember getting a gundam for Christmas when I was around 7 or 8 and it was one of my favorite toys. This diorama kicks ass!

[@wakuotaku1511]

This is honestly the coolest Gundam diorama I’ve ever seen.

[@wjgaming6662]

Go look for ray studio or studio g or sdark, They build the coolest Gunpla and Gundam diorama... This person here not even close..

[@Mikey415abrea]

You must be new here.

[@PestoPla]

Personally disagree. Those poses just look offputting at best

[@och70]

I look forward to these dioramas every week. You never disappoint, they just keep getting cooler.

[@Tharringbone]

Gunpla kits are rad as hell. Some truly wild engineering and great sources for kitbashing. Awesome to see your take on it.

[@apexminiatures528]

The lights look sooo good. I love what you did with these models

[@TestPilotWally]

I have a huge soft spot for Gundam- I'm so glad you made something from that genre! It looks terrific, as always!

[@TheHavnmonkey]

Ive been watching your channel for a few months now, def enjoying your building techniques which I can only describe as "attainable DIY but also very skilled and professional." I am re-arranging my Nerd Room at the moment and have several SW and other model kits I plan on doing some mini shelf dioramas with. Thanks for showing us your creativity!

[@fabioragone22]

Your videos never disappoint, it doesn't matter the subject of the diorama, if it's Star Wars, Wild Imaginary West or random battles... What a beauty of a diorama!

[@scottymaxwell8205]

I've been watching your diorama builds for a short time now and the time and effort you put forth is astonishing. They look amazing. I originally looked for ideas on materials to use on my gunpla dioramas. This was a gorgeous tribute to a Gundam classic. Thanks so much for being awesome.

[@edwinsouder6640]

I love how epic this fight looks. Loved watching the Gundam animes and playing some of the games but seeing this is so much better

[@evocatusgrove824]

Been building gunpla for 5 years now and this is an amazing diorama you created. Great work!

[@1x1.studio]

The final product always blows my mind. The light, the smoke is perfectly together. All of them create an awesome scene!

[@marcelpoppe362]

Ive toyed around with the idea of building dioramas myself for a while, but never did anything. In the recent videos by you i finally gave myself a little push and bought the stuff and just built. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Anyway, thank you for the great content!

[@elliotdawson1272]

This is incredible, as a huge fan of gundam you've absolutely nailed it! Can't wait to see what you create next!

[@annbrookens945]

You do such a great job of selling the scene in all your dioramas! The smoke trails are a really great effect!

[@garzilla7123]

I have built a few Gundam figures in the past, but man what you do with them is Amazing. You always make everything look so realistic. I just love to watch you work, I look forward to it every week.

[@dregbash]

your builds are always so straightforward, yet amazing. I love them.

[@andygorman858]

This looks just like a scene from any Gundam series or side story! Amazing result!!

[@glorial902]

Such an amazing way to elevate these kits! Great job

[@peyparoni]

Im a huge Gundam fan, and your videos are what got me into modeling! I've been wanting this for so long, an amazing build!

[@NotSoFinalProductions]

Spectacular work. Hope to see more Gundam/Gunpla dioramas soon...

[@Hawthorne204]

Words can’t explain how much and how long I’ve been waiting/wanting for you to gundam! I’ve been happy after this appearing in my notifications

[@craigkniffin4948]

This has to be one of the sickest dioramas I've seen in a while...your videos are always great

[@TomWDW1]

The dynamic angle of this one is amazing!! Great work

[@kj_m14]

The neon filaments really take the project to the next level. Even small additions of weathering to the Gundam improve the presentation so much. And now that you've started tapping into the Gundam model-building, I hope to see you possibly look at Transformers figures as well and see how creative you can get with that. With Transformers, there's so many different versions of every character (G1, Cybertron, Animated, etc) that the possibilities are endless. Like different versions of Optimus Prime fighting different versions of Megatron in a massive battle or something.

[@ericc7925]

This is incredible! The details on the smoke and bazooka are next level immersive

[@Projectslayergrinder]

yo man this MASTER piece is the best gundam fighting scene i ever saw on the internet keep up the good work!

[@JoyceGreens]

This is so freaking awesome! great job man, I've been building gunpla for 10+ years and this is just too cool

[@gamerkingdom1442]

As one who’s been building Gunplas for years, and started to do Dioramas with them just last year, WELCOME TO THE HOBBY. You made a exceptional work!

[@reneosantos3096]

This is the first diorama of gundam that i saw with this details and no over killing the kits with paint. this diorama kit. makes me want to build one ! IT LOOKS SUPPER AMAZING!

[@konoikurozora5851]

Oh wow, this looks so great! The very defined colors of the suits combined with the bright colors of the light effects are stunning! I especially like how the bazooka shot's rendered

[@lucienwolfswift]

As a massive gunpla fan, this is incredible!!! I love it so much. Well done sir, you inspire me to want to be better lol.

[@earlware4322]

Awesome Gundam diorama sir!! I love the LEDs and smoke trails, they really help to sell the action going on. I was kind of surprised when you choose not to paint the figures, but decided to just detail them instead. The end result was very impressive and I was amazed at how much believability you achieved with just a wash and some light weathering. Simply masterful job!

[@Blockio1999]

It's really impressive to see a final product this good looking with such a low asking price on time committment and required knowledge. We need more stuff like this that lowers the percieved barrier of entry to dioramawork

[@pabloaloevera2]

It’s so beautiful it’s bringing tears to my eyes.

[@orion19117]

That is AWESOME! I never could’ve imagined it would turn out like that! Great imagination! And creativeness!!!!

[@jacobakana5649]

The color variety is stunning!

[@staceydeller2881]

Adding that projectile was a god-tier move! LOVE IT ALL

[@lokins253]

such a good job! always wanted you to play around with gundam figures and create a masterpiece like this

[@jordanrostek1153]

I've always been hoping you'd try something like this since i found your channel. Keep up the awesome work

[@UhOhBurntmeToast]

Aw man I was SO excited to see you do some gundam. Came out looking amazing as per usual. Love it!!!

[@TheTypicalNinjas]

This might be one of my favorite so far in terms of the lighting elements. Looks so good, excellent job my friend!

[@countgrogu1269]

FINALLY! been wanting to see a Gundam Diorama from you for a long while!!

[@modelermark172]

Excellent work; especially the way you finished the models without painting any major parts! Those Bandai Gundam and Star Wars kits are marvels of engineering. It's remarkable how they're able to produce parts of different colors on a single parts tree. (I'm still amazed at the Darth Vader TIE Fighter with the solar panels being a single piece molded in TWO colors.) As a sidebar, when I was in Junior High School in the early 1970's, Bandai was famous for their detailed 1/48 scale World War 2 tank kits, complete with engines and interiors. I wish they'd bring some of those back . . . .

[@michaelerickson7364]

I have binged most of your videos this last month after I discovered your channel. Can’t wait for more!

[@Ckapter]

Excellent work as always! Look Forward to your videos each week!

[@JasonPope989]

This might just be your best work involving LEDs, absolutely fantastic!

[@Stone_D.Leif00]

This is an amazing diorama and it goes to show you that you really don't need to break the bank to have an amazing piece like that in your collection thank you I'm inspired to see what I can do with stuff I have lying around the property now

[@ajschwartz3924]

This video is sick! I love the lighting the most. Great job once again.

[@katsuyaki7605]

Such simple elements, but they all came together so nicely. Well done, man...

[@kmecha-z4353]

More of this please! I really admire all your work for WIW. i watch your videos everyday at office with a full intention of making my own.

[@FredCheckers]

Those 2 were rivals in the show and are the most popular characters. They are the most available kits, so originality when picking up gunpla retail is difficult. Your take on the fight was really cool.

[@LEWIIS23]

This is a dream come true! 😱 Would love to see you do more!!

[@amszulu]

This is amazing. Been seeing it around the web in all the Gunpla groups. Contest winner for sure

[@jazzman782000]

That looks fantastic! One of my favorite lighted dioramas.

[@jt.creation_yt]

I love the videos like it’s so satisfying watching you make these amazing scenes. Like this is so inspiring

[@tachi98lep]

Nice looking diorama-what an epic battle that would actually be in a movie or show!

[@lucaortolani2059]

These videos are stunning. Never getting tired of them

[@Harrfuzz]

I've been building Gunpla for years. I love what you did with Char's Bazooka. Ever since I saw the strobe LED's you have on the Star Wars videos I have wanted to do one melting through a mobile suit.

[@AussieBall_Animations]

Looks absolutely epic, awesome work Hobby Time

[@Dynamodel48]

nice build. one of the coolest lighting effects i have seen.

[@Asilva12701]

This was amazing, I'd love to see more gunpla videos like this, you're setting a new benchmark for quality

[@ltc214]

This looks awesome i just started gunpla and would love to do stuff like this the lights look way realistic amazing job

[@sidsinder4144]

Perfect timing I have a buddy that hit me up yesterday thinking about getting into gunpla. So Im sharing your video with him to give him some inspiration.

[@crazysnowblind]

Awesome to see you tackle some gunpla! The finished diorama looks great!

[@TpsAlisson]

You inspired me to do this stuff man the first video I watched of you with the Afrika korps I instantly got them and started making them and all that jazz keep up the good work.

[@Raziell28]

This is absolutely beautiful!! I definitely do want to try your techniques for a diorama, thank you for the inspiration.

[@emilnord]

Great work as always. Really like it. The lights always brings it to another level.

[@renzkellingin2324]

Mannn I love these scene where zaku and gundam clashes, you had me there. This is cool man🥰

[@griffinlord5411]

Great job man! Thanks so much for introducing me to kitbashing, I've been motivated to try it out myself, although its difficult as a beginner it's still a bunch of fun. I look forward to each of your new videos and projects.

[@russellrollain5295]

Wow. I have NEVER seen anything like this in my life! Amazing!. Just amazing.

[@wixk]

my favorite by far. been waiting for you to do some gunpla stuff

[@hazonku]

The lighting just takes them up to a whole other level!

[@russlondon]

[@matthew58164]

[@dipperpines2793]

I just recently remembered your channel; this was the first video I watched, and man I missed watching your videos mate, spectacular job just like always

[@dewottpower45]

Dude, this video finally pushed me over the edge to get into gundam and I just bought my fist kit

[@xCriticalStrikex]

Totally sick! Those lights make everything so good!

[@sterm1ous]

This is so cool I especially like the lighting

[@philRminiatures]

Superb and very dynamic, love the use of the lights!

[@tomatoheadfd]

In my inexperienced oppinion probably your best work when it comes to the lighting led effects, they look so realistic!

[@SimeonCogswell]

I love Gunpla, so excited you did this. It looks rad af!

[@lxd_scalemodels]

This is absolutely amazing, beside the lighting I like the dynamic the scene spreads 👍👍👍

[@bwop3369]

[@debbralehrman5957]
