I am a big fan of #Akira since I was a kid and given that this is my second take of the #MG #Barbatos I was inspired to do something special for him to truly make him one of a kind. I built him a bike out of scratch! Watch the video to learn how to do so!

"I looked and beheld a speeding object. As it passed me by, I saw it bore the crimson colors of war and moved with such speed that I thought it to be a comet. But the power I felt from its emerald eyes and the sight of its brutal weapons changed the image from a comet to a meteor; for wherever it was sure to go, death and destruction would be delivered and left in its wake."

[@iceslayer2471]

what an amazing build. Giving the Barbatos his own ride built completely from scratch and basing it off Akira . Truly a masterpiece studio G. Keep up the great work man.

Yo, this was truly a masterpiece! I can’t believe you made an actual bike out of plastic sheets. Every time I watch a video it inspires creativity.

You are one of the main reasons why I picked up this hobby. Thank you so much for the hard work and dedication.

[@ndk2k4]

For weathering, I've been experimenting with a technique usually used on larger items, but its been working quite well. I do a coat of silver then topcoat it, then apply the main colour on top. using a dryish cotton swab/Qtip I then erase the topcoat in areas where there would be wear and it reveals the 'metal' under the paint. I find doing it this way gives way more realistic results. Figured something you could try and see if you like it.

[@andikanuraga]

your art of gunpla is next level. I cant become gunpla builder its represented my dream just from your videos. I really love this concept.

[@michaelcurtis8628]

I love seeing how creative you get when adding things not originally in the kit to your Gundam. Keep going strong G, we appreciate your dedication.

[@Kurnaxs]

My anxiety peaked when you brought the bike out for disassembly. Great build, looking forward to more!

[@Tomkattec44]

Yes, I found that was funny too!

[@Alteczar]

This is freakin amazing. A land support unit is a great idea. It would be amazing to see you build a working bike with an electric engine in the future!

Definitely love how you incorporated the extra parts into the bike, another awesome build 👍

[@fusionor]

Dude, you continue to amaze and inspire me every time I watch your videos. This might be your best build yet. I'm not a fan of the chunky 6th form but you customized it to make the extra parts work. I can't believe you created the bike from scratch.

[@rivieraao1455]

First build ever where my jaw dropped at the revel, absolutely striking. Well done

[@jameshobbs1460]

Everytime I watch one of your videos I am amazed.. today.. "amazed" turned to "Flabbergasted!".. You went for the fences.. and you crushed it! Outstanding!! WOW

The bike reminds me more of Batman's BatPod Bike than it does the AKIRA bike.

[@gaeli6697]

And here I thought the bike was inspired by Dante's.

With the mounted weapons, it functions more like Cloud Strifts motorcycle, The Fenrir.

Hey there G! I was wondering if sometime in the future can you make a tutorial episode about making weapons. I know they can elevate the build a lots but there's hardly any guide on them

[@rouxcool1227]

Maybe look how to make weapon but not for gunplas, as an inspiration

[@panic5306]

people who customize Gundams amaze me. how do you even imagine what to cut where to make it look like this and that. and when they build entirely original stuff not even modifying a kit or anything. its designing something entirely original and the level of polish is incredible.

[@the47thpresident]

Everything you've done is extremely impressive and beautiful. So much so, that I'd love to see what you could do with some of the older, classic models.

[@thesighbored]

That expansion parts set did not look good at all, made Barbatos look bulky.

It’s almost like that was the point

[@02banshee99]

When he customized it or before customization? If customization then let him be, he liked how barbie looked and its he's custom gunpla so why judge?

Hi I'm a new subscriber but I burned your videos for a solid week repeatedly and I want to say thank you for inspiring me to bring my best to the building table. I got into gunpla because of depression so when I hit a rut in my building I stopped giving it my all but after watching you I feel inspired to be the best I can and I'm not afraid of making mistakes like I used to be. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so positive and Sharing your builds and journey as a builder.

I am both humbled and inspired by your work, and this is no exception. I would argue this is your best to date! Bravo, my dude!

[@Fadeing]

Another great video. Great production value with how well you put the style and clips together. As always you bring that great uplifting attitude that's great to be exposed to more. Thanks for keeping it up. After seeing you sand away some of the paint at the edges of pieces; I think I better understand the draw to the paint wearing/weathering/chipping along the edges. It has the same sort of effect as edge highlighting does. Picking out details and visually breaking up the surface so it is more distinct and easy to tell the shapes of what you're looking at instead of just a blob of color or blobs of color that blend into each other. Also to some extent simulating the light catching on those edges.
