It's a Party in the USA | HG 1/144 Gundam Maxter P-Bandai Painted Build

We are just missing the Bolt and Dragon Gundam to complete the Shuffle Alliance. I am also surprised that there is no Hyper variant at this time.

Great mod & paint work on a Gundam design I hate! Good ol’ Skibidi Crockett! Hope you had fun in Japan. I was lucky enough to live there for a year in the early 90’s. Beautiful county, culture, & people. 🇯🇵

Thank you!! Wow that must have been incredible! Thank you Commander, I'll endeavor to have a rip-roarin hum-dinger of a time :)

[@NyLad15]

Great paintjob. The PBandai G Gundam kits have been very nice. Hoping we get Bolt and Dragon.

[@LiamsHobbyRoom]

I wouldn't be surprised if we do! Thank you very much :)

@@LiamsHobbyRoom I hope you have a great trip! Hope you got all the "hidden super secret gunpla stores" in Akihabara written down somewhere.

I love your videos , can you do a mg shenlong I wanna see how you would do his beam trident!!!!!

[@LiamsHobbyRoom]

Thank you!! I don't have the MG Shenlong, but very soon I'd like to do a restoration of my old HGFA Altron Gundam, so that beam trident will get some special treatment for sure :)

It still DEEPLY hurts my heart that these kits are P-Bandai. The Hg Master Gundam and Hg God/Hg Shining Gundam usually sell pretty well, especially for beginners. I know apparently, G Gundam is not popular in Japan, but still…Victory Gundam was a failure upon release, and Bandai hates G Reco, but those get reprinted all the time basically! It’s just a weird decision, at least in my view as a G Gundam fan. I still have yet to fully re-watch the series, luckily I was really into it my first watch so I actually know I like it! And I think the shield gimmick is more like a snowboard, just because of the absence of wheels and the brackets for the feet to mount on it. Glad to see a custom of this! I have a sincere question for you Liam-how many kits do you have in your “to customize later/currently customizing/was customizing” backlog??? Mine is like…upwards of 10 kits. It includes car models, Gundams, an Apache helicopter, and a REALLY OLD AMT T Rex kit. I am DROWNING in projects!!!

I totally feel ya about the P-Bandai situation, there are so many exclusive kits. At first I thought they were trying to create this forced-exclusivity thing, but their regular release schedule already does that in the west. Honestly, I think it's more of a difference in cultural philosophy at this point! Japan is very protective of its domestic market. For example, Fender Japan's custom shop is notorious for their international sales restrictions. I can't say I fully understand the mindset, but it sure is frustrating sometimes. As for how many kits I have on-the-go, actually not too many! Maybe 5/6? The largest category for me are kits ready for paint, and that is in the 20-30s. In the last year I've gotten better at not buying more models, but hey, I'm going to Japan tomorrow so there's that hahaha.

Have you thought of doing a digimon build?

[@LiamsHobbyRoom]

I had to look up his name, but there's a kit of Machinedramon - I'd defs build that guy for a giveaway!

[@Bintangtumakaka]

Liam, I want to use kamiya TS-80 topcoat, are they safe for mr.hobby aqueous paints or should I opt into something else?

[@LiamsHobbyRoom]

Great question! I have had some compatibility issues with Tamiya clear coats before, specifically with GSI paints (Mr. Color et al) but I haven't used that specific combo myself. I can't see why it wouldn't work, though I'd recommend doing a test on a piece of plastic cutlery or something first! If it doesn't work, then grab a GSI topcoat like Mr. Super Clear or better yet, the aqueous top coat. As a general rule, if I'm ever unsure of chemical compatibility I stick with the same brand/product line!

[@Gunpla-Slinger]

Hey Liam, where did you order those decals from?

[@LiamsHobbyRoom]

Got them from Delpi Decal!! They're great :)
