Greetings from Japan!!! As always, your work inspires me. I can't imagine the headache of making all of those molds. Keep it up man. This project is going to look so amazing when you finish. I can't wait!!

[@exile650]

Simply amazing. Great work. Even at this stage seeing the kit in one piece blew my mind.

[@ciscocalixto]

Congratulations on your efforts and results Henry, I'll be lloking forward to see this project finished with a lot of excitement.

[@blooinmo1]

you sir, are a truly devoted craftsman. Keep up the fantastic work Henry

[@ciscocalixto]

I'm going to be honest dude, looking at the results so far you have made I felt happy by watching the progress, I been looking at your videos since you started reviewing gunpla and you have made a lot of progress, not just at building and painting, but you took your gunpla love to the next level to the point you create a MS you love.

[@Elozt]

Looking great, can't wait to see the finished model!

[@InstantZzz]

Really great job and I'm really happy everything came out great.

[@mizutaisho]

I've loved watching this kit come to life, and I can't wait to see the final result. You are my Gunpla Hero.

[@Scourtlind]

Wow Henry i'm at a loss of words for how amazing this Kit is. Good work man

[@carlanlui]

You are just so brilliant! Looking forward to the next video!

[@iseun]

you really could sell those kits...u could recast all those kits. man im so speechless. i admire you so much. you are really awesome. i love your work!

[@AgentWebs]

simply amazing

[@MetalStorm909]

Simply Amazing.

[@CatTehBus]

this is your best work to date!

[@blahman1027]

Very, Very impressive work. Way to go hard Henry.

[@kylundil]

very nice, the proportions are fantastic.

[@1nvd]

This is actually extremely good. When you first started on this project I was not expecting something so proportionate. You got skills Henry.

[@RobsGamingNetwork]

GREAT WORK SIR. Take your time. I look forward to your future videos regarding these projects.

[@tcochu]

Leogs....You. are. a. genious.... i was thinking of a good and cheap soloution to make the molds for some metal recasts...and this will do great!... thanks so much for you videos, the really help!

[@tetsujin_144]

It just takes practice and determination - and the belief that you can pull it off in the end.

[@crapmunky99]

Amazing work as usual, Henry! I know this'll be perfect by the time it's finished. :)

[@GundammodelkitsCoUkg005]

Wow, thats some mad skills and dedication, awesome job Henry!

[@Arrowdodger]

Henry, I will admit that I was a little worried at times that you had lost some of your interest in the project, but after seeing this, I know that it couldn't be further from the truth. This is impressive beyond what I could have hoped for you. I'll be rooting for you the whole way through.

[@iDarkTea]

Amazed to see you scratch build these, keep up the good work :D

[@RobsGamingNetwork]

LOVE your use of legos for the molds.

[@GundamFan89]

This is fantastic work, history is being made Vegeta!

[@sebaale91]

Damn it's awesome! Thank you for sharing!

[@rushaunj]

Happy to see a need WIP keep up the great OZ project idea..i can already see all 11 of the new suits standing next to the 9 other 1/100s you have an army worth fighting for XD

[@AmaGiShokan]

awesome job!

[@mikeloloful]

You are the man

[@kelvin254kk]

incredible...

[@greyphantom1000]

very inspiring! i would have been tempted to keep the original parts in a box just in case and make the entire kit from resin

[@VlogVerite]

exciting stuff!

[@RiderManX0]

Henry, have you thought about recasting the Oz Project moulds and selling the re casts?

[@Exavolt]

Wow.... That thing is beautiful. I hope you plan on running these in some kind of modelling contest somewhere because this one would win hands down. Wish I could scratch build like this but I have enough trouble working my airbrush already as it is heh

[@hh78hh]

Great work man! Absolutely love ur reviews. Very inspiring! … And, I agree with “Mystersnow”; Bandai should hire you! Also I have a small idea; if you need to know the exact amount of resin needed for your cast so you won’t waste any or run short; hold ur molds tightly then pour water in the molds then collect it back in a measuring cup. Again, love ur reviews and keep up the good work!

[@bad71495]

You should make your own aftermarket company! Your incredible!

[@SeniorAntonio]

inspirational

[@tetsujin_144]

Nice work as always. How often do we modeling fans get to go online and see that a fellow builder has finished a scratch-build? That's a rare treat. Do you get many bubbles in your castings? That's been a significant problem for me in recent years - I got myself a pressure pot to mitigate the problem (which has really helped a lot!)

[@YJin55]

nice work! im a virgo too!

[@GravityPerseus24]

Looks really nice

[@gunplanut]

Holy SHIT that's looking awesome; as usual !!!!

[@enensis]

nice work man looks really cool!

[@sashant1018]

This is so awesome. Its like you have your own gundam factory lol

[@Delta40X]

Even if its still just mostly resin parts at this stage it really does look very good. Do you have any plans to make more molds of the OZ project kits? Or is this just a one time thing?

[@Gigmagig]

I find it amazing how a video can even get a couple views when its only been up for a minute.

[@legendfang]

You should keep the original parts you scratch built and recast as all resin parts. If you ever have or need to make more part you can without taking apart the kit. Its more work but will save time in the future.

[@metaleggman18]

Wow that's amazing! Have you ever thought of doing this at least semi-professionally?

[@cdealers]

Gunpla master at work!!

[@gothan182]

I really hope someone from Bandai is watching and taking notes!

[@migsprats]

Great job Henry! I for one think that your model is spot on, but then again I don't have your eye :D awesome job as always and great Idea with the lego's!! :D P.S. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one asking, but do you think you'll be selling your recasts? pretty interested in it if ever :D

[@thecelestialknights]

thats a great project he should do!

[@bong264]

damn thats looking nice!

[@JuanValentine]

You should've mounted the side cover to the knee joint. So its not exposed when you bend the legs.

[@Theshadows99]

You can practically create your own mobile suits from scratch, I'm sure even Bandai would be jealous?

[@mrandursun]

I let out a little gundasm yelp when I saw it assembled.

[@nicksiha]

Who would I go to to get my own decals?

[@garrison778]

Vegeta, since you have a MG Wild Tiger are you planning to get the MG Double Chaser? Sorry this isnt relevent to Virgo, but great work on it just like all your other resin kits. (=

[@BadlanderOutsider]

Once the Virgo is mass produced...

[@soulthepinkmage]

Gundam Planet is a great site with stuff always in stock and HLJ has plenty of sales but make sure to mind the shipping costs from Japan. You need a credit card of course but I believe you can buy prepaid ones. Hope that helps

[@chanalex7]

If that's 1/100 scale I want it. Others have suggested selling resin copies in previous videos. I understand you did say once that you scratch built the Leo and were proud that you had something no one else had. I won't force you, but how much would you think you'd sell a resin copy for? $15-20 an hour for your labor to fill the molds, etc? Obviously the price of the materials to make the cast, would be in the 100-ish dollar price range? I'm talking about this virgo and perhaps future products.

[@Lelouch9870]

just wow

[@gunhed70]

I'm not Henry but i'll chime in, you need to set up an account with an online store before you can order (most stores require this!) you need an email address, home address and billing address to set up the account. Next you need a credit card or debit card, if you don't have one maybe your parents can make the purchase for you. Be careful and use a wellknown supplier. Do you know any one with an ebay account? There are many people that sell on ebay and you could find a good deal there as well.

[@wissn]

Will you be posting the detailing on your flickr? I'm very interested to see how much detail level it is going to end up with.

[@cloudhering]

With the casts, woulden't you be able to make an amy of oz ms?

[@cabellism]

you should really consider entering competitions, with the skills you have you would do very well also have youthought about selling some recasts? maybe potentially on gundam-eclipse? when i seen virgo assembled my i think i might have broken my jaw, due to it hitting the floor to hard.

[@MegaNumberXIII]

how close is resin to gunpla plastic?

[@JuanValentine]

magnets would be great for the planet defensors.

[@jp554731]

what kind of paint did you use on the silicone molds to label them? I've tried Mr. Color, sharpies and pen ink but nothing seems to stick on to the Allumilite silicone.

[@GravityPerseus24]

Is bandai gonna make tallgeese 1 2 3 MG?

[@Ldad27]

it'd be cool if you could live stream yourself working on models kits

[@Pan_Galactic_Gargle_Blaster]

How much would I have to shell out for you to send me a complete set of casts?

[@TheKillerPingu]

i am curious..how much you did spent on this virgo scratch-build???

[@kaisertech]

recast this 2x more so u can make it like in the show

[@MrLightMatter]

now i want to start scratch building myself :D

[@RobsGamingNetwork]

& nice ring tone :p

[@Ldad27]

why don't you use those hobby base hands on any of your customs?

[@gunX1998]

for your next oz mobile suit can you do cancer

[@baraki808]

DUDE!!!! can you please do a Plaplatting tutorial for some reason I have trouble when Im cutting my plaplates their en even or my knife cant cut threw can you give me tips to do it properly dude !!!

[@doublexf91]

I know you're probably getting this question a lot now but will you be selling kits for these?

[@ricepicker562]

do you wear a mask while working with resin? i heard its dangerous to your health

[@Zaikclon950]

Hey Henry! I just Want to ask you a question! I'm 15 years old and I want to buy a model kit online but I don't think theres a way that i can buy something online so Do you know how can I buy a model kit online? and I can't find a hobby store near my location so PLEASE RESPONSE!!!!!!

[@Ganesaviii]

fucking sick.

[@sulu51gaming]

anyone else think this guy needs a 3d printer?

[@meghankennison5615]

Matthew "Sulu51" Siu 3d printers do not yield the same quality... or so I'm told.

[@gldnboystar]

off topic but do you have a favorite gundam or mobile suit

[@VlogVerite]

sorry, I'm sure you covered this and I can't remember, but are you going to be making a Taurus?

[@jedimasterham2]

Do you put a lubricant before the resin to keep it from sticking?

[@brit363]

sell it online....:)

[@MysterSnow]

And why hasn't Bandai Hired you yet?

[@Xenoti]

put tape on the seams of your legos

[@Elozt]

Nope, you wanted us to mind your business so we did. And now you're faulting us for minding your own business? Talk about being a Genius!

[@FMari92]

Well..ask your parents for the money if you don't have your own.

[@typerider5305]

For some reason, in this video, you sound like Liam O' Brien.

[@josephcoffelt]

man those legos dont want you to continue the project jerks

[@boddilyfluids]

why didn't you make one large pouring area with undergates and airvents?

[@YellowBearHands]

dude are you kidding me? you have a bank card use paypal. post offices sell reloadable credit cards and grocery stores sell pre loaded 25/50/100 cards. it's not that hard.

[@Elozt]

Let's be serious here. Learn how to earn some honest-to-earth money first before learning how to spend them. Don't go talking about purchasing items online when you don't even have a source of income to begin with.

[@duelassault]

Pay thru paypal!!!! Bt u needa be at least 18 yrs old, kid. :D
