[PG] Perfect Grade Banshee - Full Assembly

[@Char-Aznable-UC-0059]

After I saw the vid the first time, I went and bought the kit and led unit. The video is great and helping with the hard steps of the build. This is way better than the instruction manual, thank you.

[@khorneflake5943]

Thx for the kind words, I'm glad I could help.

[@RezaQin]

I could not imagine putting myself through this. I've built the MG Unicorn, Banshee, and they are just such massive hand grenades.

[@khorneflake5943]

The bigger it is the more grenade it is...

[@PointlessKingu]

Dude sick! I've been looking for a long Gunpla video, I just recently got into them and they look so cool

[@yourcatrex11]

Wow this video is done super well, this must’ve taken a WHILE to edit.

[@khorneflake5943]

Yeah, it took me a whole year from finishing the kit till the final upload. I grew tired at some point and didn't touch the editing for months, and the whole pandemic added to the mix. When it was hitting our hospital the worst I had to work 12-15hrs daily, 6 days a week, we only had Sunday free... Kit assembly took almost 3 months because of it.

awesome clip, that helps me through some hard steps, thanks man !!!

[@khorneflake5943]

Always glad to help.

[@shawnbriscoe1332]

Man, I wished you'd cleaned up those nasty nubs before assembly. Otherwise, great to see how it comes together. Thank you!

[@khorneflake5943]

I wish I had Gunprimer Riser earlier, but since not I had to improvise....

[@labombaboy9433]

with how OCD I am when it come to nub marks, seeing you cut the pieces straight off the runner killed me !!! 😱😵💀

[@khorneflake5943]

@@labombaboy9433 I didn't have the needed tools back then, and it was like my 4th project, or something. Now I'm using Gunprimer Riser. I tried to hide nubs with gundam markers.

[@johnathanmonsen6567]

I am sad that the Banshee doesn't come with the rotary guns that the Unicorn comes with. They're much cooler than the claw (even if the claw is pretty cool).

[@JonDCort]

Where does the back bits go there not place for them the hell 1:32:29

[@khorneflake5943]

What back bits exactly?

[@normieg2633]

The transformation is cool but that is painful to watch. If you have shaky fingers, you can break a piece.

[@khorneflake5943]

It was my first time doing it, some bits are tough to pull, plus insecurity over stripping off waterslides... I never touched it again, its still in the destroy mode.

[@dwightoalog8022]

So I wanted to know about something: At the head build, I did see that you applied the metallic foil stickers for both the Destroy Mode eyes and Unicorn Visor, do they illuminate as much when they're applied on the back to provide more as a filter to let the LED's bleed into the eyes more vibrantly? And by the way, excellent pacing, even if it's a bit dragged, but it's the point of showing how each part of the entire kit is built under a complex structure, pretty much none of any other channels had any distinct form like this, and it's great to see something that is both instructional and both informative with how all of it goes until the end

[@khorneflake5943]

Not sure, tbh. I didn't try without them, in any of the Unicorn molds, but I guess its mostly for bleeding, there are more foils in the arms and shoulders for the same purpose. Heck, even PG Unleashed has stickers for the eyes. And thx for the kind words.

[@21marktan]

Noticed you used markers to cover up the snub marks. Great effort. How to I get the color codes for the diff colored markers? Mr Hobby markers ?

[@khorneflake5943]

I'm sure you can google the charts, but usually whatever pack you are buying its noted what colors its having. In this case I was leading myself by the eyes only. I used Gunmetal from the basic set, for the weapons and fingers, seemed like a great match, especially for the weapons. The armor itself is navi blue, but I didn't have that color at the time so I used grey from the Gundam Seed set, the dots weren't too big and it was important for me that the light nubs don't stick out too much. Nowadays I'm simply using Gunprimer Riser to remove the nubs.

[@MTG9745]

The way you built this hurts me. Fantastic ASMR tho

[@yhf3241]

31:30 there, when I assemble them is still strong attach to each other, but when I put all parts together especially for installing the LED, I found out that this part can’t attach to each other anymore, is this normal?

[@khorneflake5943]

Which part exactly? You mean the one on the lower abdomen? Its supposed to be a bit loose, to reveal the psychoframe for the transformation.

[@UsagiRei69]

I have a question, can i buy the led kit after i built the gunpla?

[@khorneflake5943]

@@UsagiRei69 yeah, there's an instruction with it that explains how to upgrade, but I never bothered to study it in detail. Its in the basement now in the box, I'm sure you can find scans online and see it for yourself if unsure about it.

must have been a pain to make this video editing a almost 3 hour video is so hard also that's a strong camera you have my camera cant even capture a 10 minute video lmao. i have a few questions if you would like to answer them 1: do the LED wires get in the way of the transformation? 2: is this a daban kit? thats all anyways great video man keep it up

[@khorneflake5943]

It was just a Samsung S10 phone that I had back then. Wires don't get in the way, you are just moving some panels for the transformation. And this is the official Bandai kit, not Daban.

Are the waterslide decals permanent ?

[@khorneflake5943]

Well, they should be, if you topcoat them properly, that is... I didn't want to go overboard with the topcoat, so on some sections they tend to peel off if exposed to the direct sunlight. I have the mark setter so I just remedy them with that.

Well, each click is still a view, no matter how long its watching. That's why you have timestamps, I'm sure most of the people are just looking for some specific thing they are stuck on, that's mostly the idea behind these. Hardly most of the people go through the whole thing, average view duration of this one is 20mins. Its not like I don't understand, I'm hardly going through longer vids myself, even the far shorter than this one.
