Only bit of kit I have is the calipers and the chopper2. That mini table saw is sick. Did you get that out of SPC?

[@user-zv6ek3qd9y]

Oh, that's cool👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bradhouston4734]

That was really cool. I’m looking forward to the rest. You have some fun tools to work with there! 😀🕺🏻🎥🏖🇦🇺

[@onthezero]

Thank you so much! :D

[@mikeobrien3525]

Thank you for posting this!!!!!! Amazing work

[@onthezero]

Thank you so much! =)

[@_Khan-Solo_]

Impressive! You have an amazing skill and I'm looking forward to the complete build. 👌👏

[@onthezero]

Thanks! I'd appreciate it if you could wait for the next EP.

[@mikewagner9553]

Can't wait to see more. ...looking great

[@onthezero]

Thank you. I want to make it fast, but it's not easy for many reasons. Still, I'm making it steadily, so please wait for the next EP. ;)

[@Mearrin69]

Happy to see this new series!

[@onthezero]

Thank you always! I'd be glad if this work would give you some little pleasure. :)

[@robertstewart9989]

Love it! Waiting for the next one.

[@onthezero]

Thanks, I'd like to make it soon, but need some time. :)

[@josephdias106]

Bro best ideas

[@nokiot9]

Also I notice how you use the solvent to like tack things together while you shape them with the file. How do you get them stable and then apart again? Whenever I try that either I don’t wait long enough and they slide all over or I wait too long and can’t get them apart clean after-

[@onthezero]

I'd suggest you use LOCTITE 401 like instant glue. can be fixed relatively quickly and also less need to sanding after separating parts. ;) and What's SPC?

[@nokiot9]

on the zero Small Parts Catalogue. Best resource for modeling EVER

[@onthezero]

Thanks! that's something I'm not used to. If you're looking for a table saw for modeling, I'd like to recommend this. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Proxxon+37006+KS+115+Bench+Circular+Saw&_sacat=0&_sop=15

[@TemberGundam]

You have my curiosity. As a long time Gundam modeler.

[@onthezero]

HAHA, Thank you for your comment!

[@sfr7139]

Amazing.. 🙏

[@onthezero]

Thank you!

[@eendikschaap7547]

HA! ... When you said "a new kind of challenge" I knew the next thing was going to be a mech! ;) I don't like the design that much (I'm very picky with mechs) but I'm very interested to see how you're going to build it. I think nobody has done such an in depth build of a mech on YT before and it will be a good lesson. Looking forward to the series and by the end I might be able to start working on this guy: watch?v=sipsGedlb5w I like it so much I really want one sitting in my shelve :)

[@onthezero]

I love that model, too. Of course, I became his fan a few years ago. other 3D works were really cool!! If you actually make a model, please show it to me. :)

[@SuperKrisChris]

Where did you go bruh?

[@vamp6430]

저도 스크래치빌드를 좋아하지만 도전하고 포기하는게 다반사인데.. 많이 배우고갑니다

[@onthezero]

상투적인 말이지만.. 그동안의 경험이 쌓이면서 조금씩 레벨이 오르는 것 아니겠습니까.. 저야말로 항상 제자리 걸음인 듯 해서 고민됩니다 ㅎㅎ

[@JohnSmith-dz9zl]

I think this is great what software are you using? Can’t wait to see more stuff on here and instagram

[@onthezero]

Thanks! I used "sketchup" to create a simple 3D model to identify structural problems. :)

[@johnbainco9220]

very awesome.. where can i get the measurements and specs... wanna built it

[@onthezero]

Thank you! Unfortunately, I can't reveal the exact measurements of my model. Because there are many issues to consider. I hope you understand. :)

[@xXStallardXx]

reminds me of ED 209

[@onthezero]

Yeah, definitely, ED209 is one of my favorites! Thanks :)

[@NeoIsTaken]

11:16 step missing.... part is white, then POOF finished grey. how? paint I would assume

[@onthezero]

That's right. I finished sanding and painted "GSI Creos surfacer". just editing. :) In fact, I edited a video of painting every time I finished one part, not just that part(11:16). because I thought it would be a little boring(Well, my video is a little boring. HaHa). If this series continues, there will be an episode that focuses on painting. I'll deal with it in detail then.

[@NeoIsTaken]

@@onthezero very cool video

[@onthezero]

Thank you!

[@brinwitcher21]

what is the name of the material?

[@onthezero]

styrene sheets.

[@ateliedemaquetes.aereoenav4894]

Vai ter continuação?

[@onthezero]

Sure, there will be 6~7 episodes left in my plan. but, I can't make everyday, so it takes a time to complete. I'd appreciate it if you could wait for the next EP. :)

[@paulofeliznariz]

Is it extruded polistyrene?

[@onthezero]

I don't know exactly. I'm just using for the modeling process. :)

[@paulofeliznariz]

I really like your models, congratulations. Doyou remember where did you buy it? Here in my country the only easy to find material is expanded polystyrene wich is really awful.

[@paulofeliznariz]

Oh, and this brush glue, do you remember the brand or type?

[@onthezero]

Fortunately, I bought styrene sheets cheaply at the model shop where I live. it's relatively cheap and there is no problem. Some of my friends like you often say that it is difficult or expensive in their country, so I knew about that problem. But, I also don't know a better solution. I recommend finding the largest size you can get. If it is difficult, I think it's the next best thing to find them on eBay or Amazon. Of course, the price is a little more expensive.

[@onthezero]

Tamiya cement no resin. :)

[@josephdias106]

Want more plastic model videos

[@onthezero]

Thanks, it'll take a while, but the new video will be uploaded. :)
