I have only just found your channel and have subscribed. This video is great and gives a lot of information for model makers in other countries. Do you know if any of the shops you mentioned, or any others have websites and will post to England, the United Kingdom ? Japenese modellers have access to tools that modellers in other countries cannot get hold of, so I would like to search for such items on websites, so could you do a video about the best shops who do mail orders to other countries please, listing their website details ? Also, could you do a video showing examples of tools available that are unique or very selective in their use please ? Thank you.

You can buy very cheap Chinese one sided nippers. The blade being one sided gives you 75% of the performance. Sharpening the cutting edge gets you pretty damn close without paying the godhand premium. Its a bit of a hassle to get the edge geometry with the blade being so small and with the other end being in the way but not really hard to do. Personally, my preference is to buy the cheapest single sided nipper possible and just sharpen it regularly. It's not as good as a new godhand but compares favourably with a"broken in" one. IMHO the godhand's biggest advantages are also its biggest weaknesses. A more aggressive, thinner edge geometry makes it sharper but also means it wears out more quickly and is harder to maintain than a more obtuse one. A hard, high carbon contetpnt tool steel (it's 58 HRC) keeps the edge nice and hard, but also makes it harder to sharpen - which is a bummer given how difficult it is to sharpen nippers in the first place.

The video would be better without the music.

Xould you please inform the best and complete shop who sell N & H0 scale train

Those close up shots are AMAZING!

wash the gloves

Is Newlink in this video still open? Is it the same as the Century model shop in the same Richmond commercial building now? Thank you.

Those MAK kits I'm drooling 🤤

I'd go bankrupt

Wow some of those MAK models are amazing

I've just ordered and received two kits and have been bitten by the bug

The "takumi" are 3 peaks with goodsmile branding. Probably the mk02

Super awesome vid! Thanks :)

I really hate how they put that kid on top of those cardboard boxes.... I know kids are lighting all but anything over 5 lb with definitely dent in that box and they're both pristine.... I know it's silly but small things like that take me right out of the immersion. Great video 👍😸👍

The only thing you should be wary of the Godhand is don’t drop it, because the thin blade is more prone to chipping. Nobody ever plan of dropping anything expensive but it will happen, so treat it like a baby and not an expensive smartphone.

Thank you for your efford and story. I saw such models on internet before - find it interesting but do not know it is Ma.K. Now it is more clear. I Hope to buy some kit and paint soon. I like this style of rusty futuristic-retro-rat-WWII-organic stuff... :)

Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed it. There is only one thing. I am wondering that you did not show TamTam and Leonardo? Leonardo has 3 stores in Akihabara. They do deal with 2nd hand kits, but that also has its charm.

Thank you for taking the time to post the video and I know that this was fun for you to do. My wife and I would like to travel there but for us it is important to learn the language, we would also like to extend the same courtesy seeing someone communicate in our own language. I would ask my wife to give me at least two days just for hobby shopping. Do you recommend any hobbyist videos from Japan to follow to learn model building techniques? My interest is in science fiction and anime

Hello! I put a link to this video in the description of my own video. I hope that is okay. I...probably should have asked first. Sorry about that!

I would like to see more

Have you diluted the paint before applying?

Thank you so much for introducing our great city of Melbourne, showcasing our hobby store and talking about our history. Hearns Hobbies celebrates its 75th Anniversary in 2022 and we are very proud to be a part of Melbourne's culture. Many thanks again and hope to meet you again soon. BJ

I’m planning to spend a week in Japan, hoping to buy a few Tamiya car and jet fighter plane kits. Is the supply in these shops good? Any other tips on how much money to spend? Cool video!

Can i have this?

すげぇ!

Not gonna lie, I winced internally when the GodHand was used on the 3mm runner piece. It's a great finishing cutter for cleaning up gate nubs and when the gate is just too narrow or the part is too fine (some Little Armory, RG Gunpla or aircraft antennae come to mind), but I'd rather use a Tamiya sharp pointed (not the Alpha side cutter shown in the video) to make that first cut or for super thick gates.

So detailed!

Good job and thank you ... very informative

That Really Awesome Musou Black

Amazing kits ! Love it !

Great video, I was in Tokyo over 20 years ago, I need to go again shopping!

I checked with the manufacturer and they say if you use very thin matte coats instead of letting it pool or appear wet during application its EVEN BLACKER. Still looks crazy bro

Awesome choice of model!

the compression of youtube really doesnt do it justice

it is you put too much paint if when painting surface looks wet and shiny. Apply very light coat so it not wet shine after coat. After several coats it will all surface will be coated and then it result be even more black.

Someone needs to make a miniature wargame out of the setting. Produce smaller scale models and sourcebooks about the setting.

Yup! That's a legit move! 😁

Does the paint stay on? how is its durability after painted?

Hi - thanks for this where can you buy Ma.K models in Hong Kong?

Cool! Looking forward to trying it

That is the best video i have ever seen...perfect editing, perfect music and perfect idea. Keep it up.

Love it!

Im so glad you are doing build videos!! This is ace!! Do more!

型啊!

Very cool shop

is the model have a articulation?

Nice! Thanks for sharing! I love the alien stuff.

Spend 2 weeks in tokyo one of them was almost a full week in Akihabara. Just went into random shops. It was a lot of fun even when people couldn't speak English, they would help you as much as they could

Cool!! This was AWESOME to see!

The amount of times I've been to Hong Kong visiting friends, I've never had time to find the model shops. Got no excuses when I visit next year
