MG Gundam Heavyarms Review (Custom painted)

[@itchey8715]

Love how it turned out Gundam. Also, the new format is great. Looking forward to more. Hope to see some zaku love in the future!

[@dylanhinman9942]

Show this to my nine-year-old. We have put a few model cars and planes together and now he wants to build Gundams. I couldn't be more proud. Like Bobby asking for a gun rack on his bike😂 Ordered a PG Zaku II Kai. Figured it's a good entry kit.

[@jamesmack9598]

Gundam Wing will always hold a very special place in my heart. It aired at 8pm every night after Dragonball Z in Canada when I was a child, and was the first Gundam I ever saw. It's what set me on this lifepath of weeb degeneracy of which I regret nothing. I thought the mobile suit designs were so cool, the story and characters were edgier and more adult than any cartoons I had seen up until that point, and it sparked a love of anime and mecha that continues to this day. I'm living in Japan right now and I just visited the giant Gundam Unicorn statue in Odaiba, where they have the most amazing figure shop called Gundam Base. I'm really bad at model building. I don't think I have the patience or dexterity required to make one as amazing as the one in this video, but it would be a dream to build an Altron Gundam (my fav.) or Deathscythe Hell, or a nice Talgeese of similar quality. Anyways, sorry for the rant, the nostalgia hit me hard there. I love both your channels, keep up the great work!

[@ADR69]

This was an awesome format/review video

[@Geeko170]

This really helped. I’ve been having a rough weekend, and this really helped. Thanks gundam.

[@InDiGo1222]

Great vid Gundam. I wing was my entry point into Gundam as well. The kit looks amazing!

[@AlwaysAstral]

Honestly for me personally Wing, Deathscythe and Heavy Arms are the most iconic gundams of all time. Could not get enough of these guys on the screen as a kid.

[@kitawithsomenumbers]

My favourite gundam! Bummed it's so finicky but hey, it looks great!

[@fangzification]

YES! Heavy Arms has always been my favorite out of all of the Gundam Wing mobile suits.

[@brianhruszczak7239]

Thanks for the heads up I’m going to also be doing the entire wing set. Every day before football practice I remember till this day we would watch toonami and it sure did hook me and my brother. I agree I’m doing the wing zero and I’m halfway done and some of the parts just arnt that secure. Keep it up gundam

[@DigitalFulcrum]

Fun fact, many of the suit designs from Gundam Wing, the Leo, Aeries, Tallgeese, are designed Haijame Katoki, this guy was know for his more militarized designed in the Gundam universe, his first work done in the manga Gundam Sentinel, but Wing was his first animated appearance. Now Katoki I has stayed in the Gundam Universe and when you see a "Ver Ka" kit, that's his redesign contributions, he's one of official mech designers in the Gundam universe. And Zeta Gundam is best Gundam

[@akocbibbo]

Omg it's glorious papa Gundam!!!

[@SchmuckBoi]

Honestly Damn love this format. I enjoy the format of your usual videos to date but this more formal format with these videos just feels so much more fitting, please keep this channel going ❤

[@TheWoebringer]

Your Dry-Brushing and inking are ON POINT. I find 1/144th detail work is much harder than 1/100th scale for my hands and skill set. Really well done! Heavy Arms was a great choice. Out of the time Prime Gundam Wing offerings (Wing, Endless Waltz) it is one of my favorite suits - falling only to Wing Zero Kai, Heavy Arms Kai and Epyon.

[@striker8paints]

For those floppy hinged parts try some blue tac, aka that removable sticky putty you can get for posters, and work a bit down in the pivot points during assembly, you have to trial and error the amount when dry fitting. It tightens things up rather well without stressing the joint and lasts a long time, I have some 40k tanks that I did that to 10+ years ago and the moving parts are still holding in position but move easily when you want them to.

[@eloquentsarcasm]

Damn Gundam, I spent 25 years or so of my life painting/sculpting 28mm miniatures but never really got into anything bigger than 68mm, these kits are MASSIVE. With small scale stuff, a ton of the shading/lighting has to be really over emphasized to make it even visible, but your stuff is so huge it becomes a much finer, blended effort to make it look good. You hack on yourself WAY too much bud, your work is outstanding.

[@GeeHood666]

Those metal bits, and that knife look SICK! I need to practice more.

[@squattinggopnik8514]

The only thing I don't like about this kit is the color scheme. But your paint job made it look absolutely beautiful! Seriously dude that's one of the best and most suiting paint job I've ever seen on a Gundam like this one. Amazing job my man 🤘

[@catcrapinahat]

Beautiful work, absolutely beautiful. I hate how hard it is to adjust the Gatling on this kit, wish we could get an updated version.

[@Goldengolfer330]

Heavy arms was my favorite gundam as a kid!! Sweet model dude

Robotech was my first mech anime, then gundamwing just blew up. Started to get into uc universe unicorn gundam was great. Any advice going back or forward in the series.

[@wice4711]

I would recommend 0080 War the pocket and 0083 Stardust memory

[@kingragnork]

Robotech/Macross was my first as well and then Wing thanks to Toonami. 008th MS team is a must, Unicorn i just started watching yesterday. Don't really know the rest. Patlabor is another mecha anime i grew up with, escaflowne too.

[@jamesmack9598]

Some more recent entries that are really good (for the first time in a long time), are Iron Blooded Orphans and Gundam Thunderbolt.

[@Rarebros]

Heavyarms is awesome. Gundam Wing is also what introduced me to the series. You should do a Deathscythe build next. Your painting is remarkable and I enjoy your personal opinions on the pros and cons of the kit. Thanks again bro, can't wait to see what else you will show us in the future!

[@machinecore500]

The painting design on the gundam shows that it has bin in some battles and the colors on the shoulder plats looks awesome and the chest is awesome and be safe and healthy everyone and have an awesome weekend and day ✌😁.

[@countpicula]

A little crazy glue on the hinges before you snap them together will fix a lose joint. A small rare earth magnet in the feeder belt receiver will also help it stay connected. Hit me up with a pm if you want some hacks for lose joints and the like. Love the work. It looks great.

[@hypax665]

I used tamiya weathering powderd I have all 6, but for the base I also used oil paint.

[@levi2482]

@@ItsAGunpla I use acrylic paints, but I'll look into the weathering powder.

[@LemonCreature]

Awesome video, I had no idea you had a channel for Gunpla. This is a nice little surprise discovery here :D I've been eyeballing this kit at my local hobby shop (and the X1 Ver Ka, or the ZZ Ver Ka, I have too many things on my wishlist). I'm a bit turned off by that Feeder Belt (like the tub that connects my Luna Gradeless 1/100's big gun, just falls out a ton) buuuut maybe I could deal with it? I'm trying to improve my own personal Gunpla skills so maybe it'd be a good test of skill dealing with the belt. I'm trying to move beyond snap building myself, just got into panel lining, applied decals for the first time recently too and now I'm trying to work up the courage to use my top coat (sorry if I'm going on a bit of a rant, Gunpla's just fun to talk about).

[@VaticanTemplar]

Gundam Wing was actually the very first of the series I ever watched. Loved the gundam designs for the series too.

[@DigiCube4]

Wing is still my absolute favorite version of it. It doesn't feel like "anime". It felt like Gundam without the "this is my destiny and i'm only a highschool~".

[@jamesrichards2442]

The belt feed and the ammo drum just looks so good. The custom with the quad gatlings just feels weird without a feasible means of feeding them.

Don't worry. Everyone has their own entry points to the series. Wing was my first and I love it to this day but it definitely had a lot of detractors when it came out. Also, Seed had some great mobile suits. Buster Gundam is one of my favorites but I really liked the Strike Gundam (esp. Sword Strike) as well.

[@Xyanel]

Ahh finally, thank you for starting this :) Been waiting since you 1st post your gunpla. Hoping to see you building newer MGs :) Good luck on the builds.

Hell yeah, Heavyarms! I got an HG EW version of it. I got it because it was cheap and... well, it's the friggin Heavyarms. Anyway, looking forward to more.

[@xamit1u]

File down the connector parts after painting. You can do the chest pieces with a tooth pick. I have the other HA (same scale) but I haven't painted it but I have the same scale of the Custom which I painted and I had the same issue. toothpick did the trick.

[@nineel7395]

Making a basic paint job look good and interesting is harder than a complex paint. Good vid, good choice of Gundam.

[@OuroborosChoked]

The Turn A MG is actually quite tall. The Turn A's head height is 20m, which is taller than the OG Gundam.

[@KibbloMkII]

my first Gundam MG I think, after the PG rx-78 being my first gunpla one of my favorite suits, fun to build, but the left arm falls off at the drop of a hat, the chest armor has mysteriously cracked, the forearm panels have snapped on one side, the antenna have snapped off, and then the handle of the Gatling broke in half. I love the kit, but its on permanent back in box until can budget it in some glue. need to get the Heavyarms Custom MG though

[@n0madfernan257]

loved the worn out look of the gundam heavy arms

[@uBpGK]

Gundam Wing was my introduction to anime and gundam too and as a adult I love the UC universe more but wing will always stay with me. Fantastic paint work tho I’m so happy another Native America enjoys this hobby as well lol I’m still working on my Pg Johnny Rocket Zaku but I’m afraid of finishing it since my nephew would love to play with it but he’s too rough with his toys but good luck with both channels.

If you get Gundam wing 0 MG just be prepared to be the most frustrated you'll ever be. If the part isn't suppose to move glue it I can't recommend that enough

I believe the Turn A and Turn X master grades are average sized.... The crossbone ones are the smaller MGs

[@lovecchio420]

The turn x is huge and definitely not a average size. Turn a is average. F91, wing, and crossbone are tiny in 1/100

[@OneMouseGaming]

Keep on keeping on Gundam !!!

[@DP-fq7iy]

Heavy Arms and Sandrock are definitely the best from Wing. They’re design is utilitarian and very much military-esque.

[@Cynos_3D]

Can attest to all the shortcomings of the H-arms, did a H-arms custom a few years ago, i am GLAD they don't make them like they used to.

[@BakiX]

Heavy Arms was my favorite Gundam in Wing. You sir, earn a huge thumbs up for that. Also, I cant really be certain but I somewhat remember a blue varient of heavy arms in the Gundam Wing movie? Its been many years so I could have just imagined that tho lol. Great lookin job tho.

[@RetroRanter]

Well, now I can stop asking you to make hangar videos on Twitter 😂 brilliant review man..

[@doyouwanttoplayagame4503]

I love wing and realize it’s comtripution for making gundam break out in the west but after diving into the rest the series has to offer it quickly fell from my top spot as well

[@starsiegeplayer]

Nice review, Gundam. So the wing Mobile suits were really that much smaller than UC suits?

[@Zufield]

On average, yeah. Late UC stories--F91, Crossbone, F90, Victory, and the like--also featured downsized mobile suits to the tune of 16 meters or so, due to "optimization" issues and the like, and the alternate universe shows up to Turn A--G, W, and X--simply kept the same smaller "footprint," as it were. In reality, this was mainly a cost-cutting measure by Bandai, since the animated stuff was just to promote new plastic crap. Smaller mobile suits equals smaller model kits equals less plastic that Bandai can shill for the same price. That said, do check out the F90 model kit line. Lots of interesting designs there. Hell, the F90 itself was functionally a prototype Strike Gundam, what with its different loadouts and all.

[@murph1414]

Ahhh the channel where the real talent is.

[@keithc9289]

Dude you should see how much love gundam gets over seas. I was on deployment in Korea and Singapore and let me tell you they had these huge sections with all different types of gundams. Was very cool. I'm more into fantasy like warhammer , hero quest style fjgures. But I always found gundam very cool. Unicorn is my fav series.
