[@TrueCicero]

It’s great to see this channel growing. Hopefully it continues to do so! Easily the best gunpla channel on KZbin. I’ve yet to see a channel that puts as much effort into it as this one.

[@gibsonkellen444]

i guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me

[@jaidentrey7517]

@Gibson Kellen Instablaster =)

[@gibsonkellen444]

@Jaiden Trey I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@gibsonkellen444]

@Jaiden Trey It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@jaidentrey7517]

@Gibson Kellen no problem =)

[@unpredictable0569]

Hey bruther just wanted to tell you, thank you for inspiring me to paint gunpla and get into gunpla, 3 months ago I walked into a hobby shop looking for something to keep my mind busy, and today I'm working on my 1st painted kit and my 6th overall build. I'm looking forward to your next accomplishments.

[@tomtheconqerur]

I bought the master grade alex gundam 2.0 under your recommendation and it was kick ass. It was my first master grade kit as I only worked on high grades and real grade kits. I broke the ball joint part of the right hand but I was able to fix it. Thanks papa gundam for inspiring me to not only get back into gunpla but gundam as a whole. Merry Christmas also fuck disney and what they did to starwars.

[@tomtheconqerur]

@Benny Spiegel-Chen I cant move the ball joint in the hand now either mostly due to avoid breaking it again and because of how tight the ball joint is.

[@tomtheconqerur]

And I'm avoiding touching the ledt hand just to preventing it from breaking as well. I'm going to buy the master grade f91 next so which me luck

[@HybrydATP64]

Maybe when i get mine i’ll sand down the ball joints a bit

[@theramblinmahoney2316]

What an awesome Christmas present. Thanks Monsieur Gundam. The amount of talent you gained within the short time you’ve practiced gives me hope for myself. For that, I thank you.

[@benitomartinez2106]

You are one of my favorite KZbin content creators. I have always felt if the platform was different you would have exploded by now. I always feel like they hold you back because your not PC

[@ItsAGunpla]

sadly you are correct, I don't talk about every sneaky thing done to me by youtube because I don't think people would care.

[@benitomartinez2106]

@@ItsAGunpla we care a lot you have a community that loves the work you do. We would fight there bullshit if need be

[@n5nr186]

I like seeing your painting progression, as someone who’s debated dumping even more hours into painting kits, it’s inspiring! The Gouf custom and Zaku were gorgeous (pls show some Zeon love Bandai lords) and the Heavy Arms made me want to watch Thunderbolt again

[@theramblinmahoney2316]

[@flipnutdodad8841]

You forgot to mention the hangar that you use as a background.

[@UNSCPILOT]

That monster is a video unto itself

[@rob0079]

This channel inspired me to get back into Gunpla after 10+ years. Thank You for all the content Mr. Gundam!

[@Nailo1776]

Amazing video man, I got into Gundam this year because of your channel and have been building kits with my little brother. Thanks for introducing me into this.

[@emile1365]

I really appreciate this Gundam. Having returned to 40k roughly about two and half years ago, I can appreciate many of the points you're making. Also I've been really tempted to start with Gunpla kits thanks to your channel.

[@yungb448]

Your green Zaku color transition is amazing I love it, you gotta do a video on how you paint with your color transition method. I would love to learn a bit of that technique from you. Keep up the great paint job and Merry Christmas.

[@Leescreativeart]

I love the honesty and humbleness in addressing your mistakes. Win or Learn. Something I have embraced over the last decade. There is no more losing. That last Gundam is dope too. I really appreciate all the subtle details in line work, pistons, small oil smudges.. so cool. I need to get moving on one. Ha

[@chrisbongiorno9711]

I absolutely love this channel. You are what got me to start painting my kits. I tried my first one over Thanksgiving. The mg full armor unicorn. I love it. Painting adds realism and is so relaxing.

[@TAWSTEALTHSTALKER]

the amount of progress you have made is stunning, keep up the great work papa Gundam

[@ryanoneill6734]

Glad you guys pressured him to make this channel. Pure gold.

[@navi-charlotte]

that intro is wonderful

[@almostontimehero5415]

For your first year you did great. It's because you went all in with air compressors, air brushes, dioramas, clear coats, sand blasting and multiple kits. You didn't dabble or get your toes wet, you dove right into that Gunpla world with the eye of the tiger. Hunger in your eyes and fire in your stomach.

[@ManapuaMan]

29:11 feels Gundam

[@Kenny_F91]

That new intro is best and such a great sign of Gundam appreciation. 10/10!

[@DeadEye2613]

Hey man thanks for this year. You actually got hooked on gunpla this year. Before it was something that I didn’t really know how to get into it. Your videos really helped not only to get into the hobby but some more difficult times this year. Hope next year gets better for you

[@xtoolx462]

Thanks for the year in review man. You inspired me and many others. Honestly I thought you had been doing it 2 or 3 years.

[@dnl4295]

I don't buy/paint/anything, barely even watch mecha/anime, but I sure do enjoy the work you fans put into it. Even the so called mistakes you all make, give life to your kits in my eyes. Really enjoyable video. Thank you.

[@johnnydeez6953]

Watching in 2021, the display really adds to the gunplas, looks so koo, u got the mobile suits all posed up and the pilot & mechanics hanging around, than all the various crane tools and stuff laying around, than i noticed the flashing lights on the walls, man that is so nice.

[@JohnSmith-ym4sl]

I just got into the hobby and found your videos... needless to say I wouldn’t be as good as you in 10 years truly amazing for only one year keep it up love the videos!

[@ItsAGunpla]

You don't know till you try.

[@bigempty]

Papa G, I just wanna tell you, your videos got me seriously into Gunpla. I did straight builds when I was a kid but never got into painting. I started watching your videos and It reminded me how much fun building kits was and how happy it made me, so I figured Id pick up an HG and see if i could get a feel for it again. One kit is all it took to get me hooked. I bought an airbrush and started painting shortly after, now all i do is obsess about new color schemes and trying to get better and learning more skills. Sometimes it's frustrating sometimes there's set backs sometimes I screw something up and i don't want to even look at a kit for a week but I always come back, I always want to get better. It's all part of the journey, set backs and frustrations aside I'm always having fun. So, you inspired me. You got me hooked on a hobby I love and just want to keep getting better at. Thanks bitchacho!

[@jasoncombs3232]

I started 4 months ago and am now painting the PG strike rouge. Can't stand the pink... I look forward to all your vids. Love your music too brotha! Rock on!

[@tubejorrit]

you could have bought the normal strike + skygrasper?

[@jasoncombs3232]

@@tubejorrit it would have been more expensive and longer to be delivered.

[@tubejorrit]

@@jasoncombs3232 and if you are going to paint it anyway it doesn't really matter which color it is :) have fun with the kit!

[@midshipman8654]

Ay! Thanks for the great year gunpla! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your content thus far. Keep doing you man. The authenticity is what I come here for and it’s great to look back on the journey you took.

[@mikegonzalez9119]

You killed it this year Man can’t wait to see what next year will be like

[@jonathanortiz3253]

Great video! I really enjoyed your reflection on your painting journey this year. I’m also aspiring to improve my painting skills. I agree with your statement about not fixing past kits as you improve. It’s good to see your past and it lets you appreciate your present. Keep on learning and documenting your journey. Not enough gunpla you tubers do this. Thanks 👍.

[@bigweld6792]

I got into gunpla around 6 months ago with 4 HGs, 2 RGs a RE100 and a MG. So far the only painting I've done is small details and corrections. I plan to invest the time and money into learning to airbrush inspired by you. Nice work and heres to another year of painting

[@Darrkerkg]

This channel deserves way more views

[@TheSignOfZeta]

Gundam, you should watch Iron Blood Orphans. We're talking about Zeta Gundam amount of deaths.

[@CushionRide]

yes but zeta has that epic death music...........

[@patrickkaranjeet5063]

Kamile isn’t mediocre

[@Wreck1990]

THERE'S A GUNPLA DOWN HERE!

[@Gundamuk]

MG 2.0 Zaku is by far the best engineered kit :) SInanju Stein still stands out as one of the most ell designed mechs. In a year, you've definitely come a long way painting wise, I'm 7 years into the hobby now and there's always something new to learn, and a new kit out that screams for a nice paint job :) Are you getting G40?

[@Chocula]

Hey Gundam, glad you're a fan of grunt suits like the Jesta. You should totally pick up an MG Jegan if you haven't - really light on the panel lines (maybe this is your shot at dipping into scribing your own panel lines) but an insanely solid build. And of course, if you want the MG Jegan Type-D from Unicorn it's P-Bandai because it's Bandai.

[@shogus0046]

You’ve inspired me to start painting my kits, I will be starting with the Barbatos, hopefully in the next month. Also your work on Sinanju Stein is a masterwork.

[@oldfreddyfrenchfry1]

I love the thoughtful and unapologetic commentary in your videos, especially about painting! You’re in my top 3 favorite channels, hands down!

[@TheOptinater]

Amazing paint jobs! It's really cool to hear you talk about what Gunpla means to you. To say it is your escape and how it has helped you emotionally. It's nice to hear how much this hobby means to you. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to your videos!

[@seek14]

The Gouf and Gouf custom are probably actually my favorite mobile suits of the Gundam universe so I understand the want for a more master grade and perfect grade suits that aren't just another version of more recent Gundams.

[@davidallen7053]

You really are the Bob Ross of gunpla. You even bring all that sage-like insight. You should have Bad Dad do a reaction video to one of you paint videos.

[@flareop6982]

Damn... Wow! This is Amazing.. everything about this video is pure art! Perfection, pure art. I don't have the words. Everything about this video, your reflection on all your builds. The gundam, everything about and in this video is just... Astonishing. You should be so proud of yourself, brother. Inspirational

[@KevinLam86]

Only a year doing this and you're already Pro level IMO. I've been in this hobby for on and off 20 years and I still use rattle cans for paint.

[@panzerdoga7402]

Military planes not falling apart. Have you've not seen the F/18. That plane is over 40 years old. Amazing paint work, I just sticker mine and call it a day.

GUNDAM this is amazing man i hope i can do as good as you have this past year with my GUNPLA!

[@feretstudios7176]

I know nothing about Gundams. I'm here to hopefully soak up some knowledge and stare at the pretty paint jobs. :3

Some great pieces there PapaG. Great weathering etc. Keep it up!!

To a good year of Gunpla , Cheers to the Saivor

[@branford_games]

[@mr.twosix]

I'm looking forward to make the jump sometime this next year into painting my kits. Your work is incredible. Keep inspiring.

[@shadow7037932]

Very good advice on not going back to re-do a kit. I started with armor (tanks) models and I've actually got several copies of the exact same kit that I've done over multiple years. The difference between the first (brush painted, paint too thick, etc) and most recent version of the kit I've done (air brushed, light weathering, preshading, etc) is very noticeable.

[@inthedark334]

It's nice watching something come together I'm also a massive Gundam fan I've been a massive Gundam fan since Gundam Wing. Also group on Toonami love is certainly a Battlefield and Gundam there's a lot of love

[@erhmegherd5102]

Thank you for showcasing your hard work, even though the money might be slim.

[@MrZoichi]

That Sazabi makes me super moist. The coloration is perfect and the metal parts really complete the look.

[@AndyBS86]

I've been building gunplay for a year now and mine don't look anything like yours. Granted in only building high grades and I don't have the same level of experience that you have when it comes to painting. That being said your kits are fantastic! And I hope I can someday get close to your level. I can't wait to see what you'll make next year.

[@93gamrx]

The dynames piloted by lockon stratus is from gundam 00 rather than seed. That being said, you're giving me the itch. Currently I'm on my second gunpla build, my first one ( hg 144 wing zero) went well and I even did some panel lining and shading using some... unusual supplies. I think it came out well. Now I'm working on an hg 144 RX-78-2 and my third will be a char's zaku. Tho I'm not brave enough to paint yet, nor do I really have the $$ to spare on an airbrush, pump, tank, paints etc. But I'm really enjoying the hobby and I love your down to earth and very real videos, like you I'm a casual fan who has moved to this hobby from my disappointment in the video games I love so much. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@backpain100]

One of the few modelling channels that take advantage of 4k video. One can see beautiful details/texture in them. Keep up the good work.

[@dailyhooligan3975]

You got me into painting my kits

[@Tomcat_Coyote]

Damn , those are some of the most amazing Gundam models i've seen !! :D

[@phat_gunpla_etc]

you look like you have been painting all your life...you go skills! thanks for sharing your talent!...i'm still scared of jumping into airbrushing due to price...buy another new kit or buy airbrush hardware? tough decision

[@MechaPriest86]

Since the RX-78 Origin your work inspired me to paint my models to the best of my ability, even if I sucked at it. Also...... Bandai: "People dont like zakus" Me: "I need at least ten!!!!" Glad I bought 2 origin Zakus before the year ends😁

[@N3V2-Nevto]

your paint is a delicacy to look at :D it's amazing really Cheers gundam for another year of you painting new kits hahaaha :D

[@WeedDigimon]

Watching this really makes me look forward to painting the MG Zaku Cannon.

[@Spartan-P]

I'm working on a Jesta right now. It's quite honestly my favorite Gundam. I feel like it's military design just fits right in the lore. I'm hoping I can get my hands on a shezarr type Jesta (team B & C) one day. That sniper model is 🤌

[@closer2theheart684]

Sick builds!! This Gunpla channel is tops!

[@mechaao1229]

Gundam waiting to reach Ultra Instinct before doing commissions :)

[@almostontimehero5415]

To me it seems like killing 3 to 4 birds with one stone but I get what Gundam is saying. If you turn a passion into a job, you lose the passion aspect of it and it becomes a chore, an obligation. Shame, but I prefer a happy and healthy Gundam to one that is dead inside.

[@almostontimehero5415]

How would others feel if their "gifts" to Gundam were turned into his profit by selling them? The tax man and alphabet people would also break down his door, and shoot Fluffy while trying to get their share of his Gunpla sales.

[@sierraspoolparty7501]

Damn dude. Those all look gorgeous.

[@akaneko2165]

The one thing I do for "pre" shading is start with the bone stock color of the armor and then go up a shade,very lightly. The key is to hint at a change with out spelling it out. I might also suggest looking into color modulation,simple but very expressive. Over all from your first try onward you have done really well. The kits all look great! Still those Korean guys make me want to cut my hands off.

[@cupnp]

Looks awesome I'm hoping I can get to that level soon

[@dlear85]

Now I am going to watch all your videos and check out your whole channel. Also, love the commentary. You crack me up.
