Is that the last episode? What happened? Did you drop it?

[@TukaihaHithlec]

Hope you are well. This channel is one of my favourite rare finds. Would love to see this continued someday!

[@jerrybailey5797]

Outstanding attention to detail l can't wait to see tge finished Mech

[@AnonymousUser-is7nm]

unbelievable!

[@-MrFozzy-]

Just….incredible

[@MuShinnen]

I've loved watching the build process behind this, but I must admit I am a little sad that this won't likely be able to be recast and sold. Your work has been awe inspiring, thank you for sharing.

[@onthezero]

Thank you. I haven't considered resin casting since I designed this guy. I would've thought about it if I could. :)

[@richardksimpson800]

Dude. I'm a film industry professional and this stuff blew my mind. Well Done! The cockpit and haptic suit and headgear is next level. Nice work!

[@bro-it6qn]

Oddio.. Li ho guardati tutti di fila questi filmati e sono meravigliosi. Sei davvero un professionista di qualita. Incredibile

[@onthezero]

Thank you so much! bro :)

[@danielklinglesmithv2732]

The level of detail and precision and skill 😍

[@onthezero]

Thank you! XD

[@onabiv]

This was just fantastic. I learned so much by watching this series. I hope the rest of the build comes out at some point.

[@graemedavidson1952]

Episode 10 would be a great Xmas present! :-)

[@onthezero]

Haha, bro, Forgive me. I've prepared a gift that's not what you expected. But you won't be long before you get the snacks.

[@0Walgar0]

Amazin work mate! How do you cut the plastic, with knife, saw, electric saw?

[@alecwillis5773]

Stunning just stunning keep up the good work cant wait to see it all finished

[@onthezero]

Thank you! GIGAS series is a few episodes remained. But I'm adding some elements than I originally planned, so the final EP will be a little later than expected. sorry about that.

[@paultapping9510]

Just... So, so, good! I love how your work is so precise that at points it looks like you're assembling a premade kit. How do you do that?!

[@onthezero]

Thank you, buddy. Actually, I don't have any special weapons. It's just measuring, cutting, and sanding. :)

[@lewiskingmodelmaking9514]

Love your work! So much detail in a relatively simple shape. Awesome inspiration cheif

[@onthezero]

Thank you, buddy! :D

[@jovintagle2372]

You've got mad skills my friend. Very nice canon.

[@onthezero]

Thanks! Maybe the last episode of this series is about painting. :)

[@randoma83]

Just AMAZING

[@onthezero]

haha, thanks!

[@D1-Games]

Hi, I've been in awe of your scratch building skill all through this project. You may downplay them, but as a veteran builder of over 35 years, I recognize true skill when I see it. Your ability to work extremely precise is very inspiring, and something to aspire to. One question though; did you ever finish this project? This episode has been the last in the series for a very long time now, and I'm sure there are lots op people waiting for more, just like me... 🙂

[@onthezero]

Thank you for your interest in my work. It's hard to explain in detail, but the damn virus that occurred earlier this year has had a lot of impact on my job and I've become hard to invest time in modeling. This project is slow but still ongoing and I want to release the next episode to you as soon as possible, but it is not yet possible. Sorry about that, bro.

[@D1-Games]

@@onthezero I can certainly understand that. Things have been hectic here as well, and all plans have had to be adjusted. Good to hear the project has not been shelved though. Just take your time and stay safe and healthy! 👍

[@onthezero]

Thanks, stay safe!

[@magnusrexus]

i love watching you work i inspired .I was wondering if you have ever thought of working with some epoxy clay are something else to create complex curves.I think they would complement the detail level and manufactured look of your stuff.

[@onthezero]

Thank you for your interest and advice! Any materials may be used as needed. If I need curves, some epoxy will be the right ingredient. but, this guy I'm building these days aims to be made up of straight lines. Of course, other projects after that will have different forms. Yeah, may be. :)

[@JohnSmith-dz9zl]

Fantastic work bro

[@onthezero]

Thanks bro. :D

Thank you!

I don't see any caliapie rockets yet, otherwise not too shabby.

[@psychominiatures2906]

Epic vid dude I love scratch building my self, can I ask how long does that black glue take to set, as I was going to get madworks black ca glue, but it's hard to get in the UK but this stuff seems the same :)

[@onthezero]

I don't know the exact time, but if you use CA accelerator together, it'll be fine. thanks :)

[@bobbyaguilar4888]

What kind of military kit are you using?

[@thedragonden3294]

Hey! Found your channel pretty recently and I've been enjoying it immensly. It's inspired me to try doing some of my own work! I was wondering what your design process for these builds are and even where you get your styrene from?

[@onthezero]

Thank you for your interest. :) My design process is not special. It can be said that it is all about drawing a few sketches on paper and identifying structural problems with simple 3D modeling.(SketchUp) Many of my ideas are coming from my favorite movies or animations, and I think they are a continuation of the transformation and synthesis process. I bought styrene from the model shop where I live. My friends in other countries say that it is difficult and expensive to get styrene, but I don't know what your case is. I recommend searching on Amazon or eBay.

[@thedragonden3294]

@@onthezero thank you! And keep up the good work!

[@theos17]

Fantastic! Kinda sad I can't find any places near me or online that sells styrene sheets for a reasonable price ); Maybe they're just that expensive.

[@onthezero]

Unfortunately, I don't have a good solution to that problem either. in online, I could get materials at relatively low prices, but I still feel they are expensive. Especially when I buy tools that are specialized in modeling.

[@shiminify]

太厲害了 超酷的 好喜歡看你製作的過程 好精緻啊 你是我的模型之神!!!>\\\

[@onthezero]

Thank you for enjoying my videos! If my videos are helpful in making your model, It would be very valuable to me. :)

[@llamatran2966]

What is the use of black adhesive? Saw you used it a lot in your other vids but here more so it got me curious.

[@onthezero]

AXIA Instant Adhesive Type 456(Black). It's easy to use as a filler because it is visible. :)

[@llamatran2966]

on the zero 😲 ohh i see thank you

[@jovintagle2372]

Are you planning to weather the paint on the final product?

[@JohnSmith-dz9zl]

Do you buy your styrene in bulk and if so where??? Love this build

[@onthezero]

I'm buying styrene sheets at a model shop in my country. This shop doesn't seem to sell abroad. I could find a similar item on eBay, but it's much cheaper considering the shipping charges. Compared to Tamiya's products, it is much cheaper, but there is little difference in quality.

[@JohnSmith-dz9zl]

I don’t blame ya then

[@onthezero]

I can buy styrene sheets(210x290x0.5mm size 5sheets) for 2$ at the modelshop in my country and I have to buy Tamiya(0.5mm B4 size 4sheets) for 10$. Tamiya was 14$ on eBay. I guess the reason for this difference is the problem of the distribution systems, but I'm not quite sure.

[@thedarknight5100]

Wheres episode 10? It's been over a year...

[@ChillinFuckinSippin]

Insane work!!! Keep it up man! Damn the details and precision!

[@onthezero]

Thank you! :D

[@fourfourths8445]

Silly question but where are you getting the axia adhesive type 456?

[@onthezero]

I got it at the model store where I live, but it seems difficult to get them in other countries. I'd like to suggest you LOCTITE 480 instead of AXIA 456. :)

[@fourfourths8445]

Is there anywhere I can see the completed product?
