Let's build and customize gundams and other mecha plastic models.
Hi, I'm a novice modeler that started customizing and painting my kits in late 2022.
I have gained a lot of knowledge from watching other videos, reading from blogs as well as countless of hours reading posts in reddit and also trying stuff on my own. But I still feel there's a lot more to learn. My videos will showcase what I know but also techniques that I will try for the first time as I explore more ways to express my ideas into the polystyrene molds we all love so much. So I hope you watch and hopefully learn something useful to you and your own creative process.
This is my truth. This is my art. This is our playground.

White Death inspired Gundam Pharact Custom ft. a Winter Camo
Simo Hayha is labeled as the deadliest sniper in history and his accomplishments earned him the nickname the white death.
My local group of builder decided to do a group build based on him with the only requirement being: it has to have a sniper and it has to have a winter camo.
Last build of the year and this is a quick one. This also serves as a recovery or healing build for me from doing three master grades back to back to back. It's my first time doing a winter base and also a winter camo, so even though this was supposed to be a recovery build, I did put in a little bit more than I should. Still enjoyed the process at the end.
Let me know how you like this winter custom of the Pharact.
Thank you for watching and thank you for your time. See y'all on the next build.

MG Gundam Dynames Custom Hybrid Mechanicore
มุมมอง 2.5K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
My favorite suit from Gundam 00 is the Dynames, and the pilot, Lockon, is one of the best characters in the show too. So if you've watched it and is familiar with his fate, you'll know that it was one of the blows the series delivers that will stay with you. (Especially hearing haro.) This is why with this Gundam Base clear kit, I propose an alternate timeline where he lives thanks to the power...
Gundam Seed's MG Mobile Ginn - A Better Orange Scheme
มุมมอง 21K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
And we're back with a another MG custom from Gundam Seed. (I promise next MG custom will be from UC.) Not a huge fan of the overall suit design and it's other variations but I challenged myself to try and improve this orange color scheme for Miguel Aiman's ace mobile suit while also adding some details here and there. In the end, I really like what I did (pat on the back). But let me know how y...
MG Berserker Blitz: A gundam custom build
มุมมอง 48K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
What is up everyone? This next build is a custom of the Master Grade Blitz Gundam that takes inspiration from THE X-Man, Wolverine aka Logan. This custom has been an idea that I had in my notebook for quite sometime. And this is the perfect time to have executed it (although a bit late). I originally planned it to be in his orange and brown color. I pivoted to the classic yellow and blue but I ...
Making a Zaku vs GM duel diorama. Custom gunpla paint + beam saber LEDs
มุมมอง 1.5K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
There is only one winner in mobile suit duels. This diorama is part of a buddy build I have with Nu_type93x over in Instagram. He does awesome battle scene diorama so this was a fun challenge for me to try some beam saber LED in my builds. A good learning process that was worth it in the end and I walk away with a new trick in my gunpla building arsenal. Still a beginner in LED modifications so...
Tank Nacchin: The Kotobukiya Figure You NEED in Your Collection
มุมมอง 1.2K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
I switched brands! Just for a palate cleanser from Bandai kits. I was curious about this kit and wanted to see what I can come up with. It was a struggle but I think it went well enough. I was able to try a few thing as well with this build. In that aspect, it's a success because I gained more weathering and brush painting experience. Watch the whole video and see if you think so too. Thank you...

Guys I think we should also stop this with other races
Here’s a comment to boost you in the algorithm, Very nice build :)
Thank you! Very much appreciated! I was surprised how nice this kit actually was.
so cool! discrovered you from reddit! happy holidays!!!
I appreciate it man! Thank you and happy holidays to you too!!!
i don't like bandai's dry decals. they are too thick and no amount of top coat can hide them. the rub on decals are very difficult to apply because there is no space between the decals to cut and then secure onto the space i am generally okay with the water slide decals but have handling issues with the bigger pieces like the shield crest of the sazabi.
I agree completely. Bandai waterslides are ok, the larger ones give the most problem. It's like you have a time limit after getting them off the paper.
White Death Pharact is certainly a great look! Very nice camo pattern, tho it reminds me a bit of the Swedish M90, just in white (the blocky design is super cool tho!) Love the design!
Thank you! I must admit, i have very limited knowledge about camos and who used them.
Awesomeness, great custom diorama work 😎
Well thanks man! 👊🏼😎
Quite the healing build my brotha lol. Can’t stress enough in the thin layers when masking, the results show! The base detail work was so satisfying to watch. 🤌🏽
Thanks bro! I think I pushed this to the limit of still being a healing build. Lol. But yeah, thin layers for the masking is the key. 👌🏼
Clear Fluorescent paint? Brand?
Gaia notes. 👌🏼
@@johnnymechahand Awesome, thank you, I don't think I can get that brand here in the UK. I will have to look for another.
@@marccretten I hear Gaia is hard to get there in the UK. Sorry man.
@@johnnymechahand All good, Sir, I will try to get some in from out of the UK in the New Year
@marccretten hell yeah, you'll have fun with it for sure!
Lmao. So i guess the pilot dies. Im 6 episodes in. My fault for waiting so long i suppose. Kit looks great.
My bad. I should've put spoiler somewhere. 😄
You're wild lol. "Healing build" was 2x more intensive than most of my customs. Sick build man.
Lol. Thanks man. I did try to hold myself impulses as much as I could. One thing led to another, but I still very much enjoyed this relatively quick build for me.
Have you all done a camo paint scheme before? How do you like it on gundams or mobile suits? Also, not an audio guy, but what do you think of the audio levels and cleanup?
Audio sounded great. Music is just a hair too loud relative to your voice, but that might just be my preference.
@d9_1056 thanks for the feedback my man! I really appreciate any input so I can make the next videos better.
Nicely done😊
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it.
Truly a masterful execution of a concept and skills, im very impressed.
Thank you! I am humbled by your words!
Getting FULL METAL PANIC Arm Slave vibes from this model!!
That looks awesome dude. Did you get through p-bandai?
Yeah I did. Really good kit!👍🏼

❤️thank you❤️
amazing work. you have great technique and taste
Thank you!
commenting to boost engagement so the algorithm likes your videos :)
You are a real bro! thank man!
I have to try this now
It looks so much better in real life too.
That giggle when the plastic cup fell over 😄 love the idea and final outcome. That simple yet effective base gives the kit its perfect way to shine (pun intended). Nice work my friend 👍
Man, you have good ears. Lmao. Thank you my brother! Keep the puns coming! xD
saw your work on reddit. Keep going fam
I appreciate it bro! will do!
the dedication this hobby brings out of people is amazing! The view of the prepared parts in 2:05 captures this so good. Amazing work.
Truly. When people take a deep dive into this hobby, they really dive DEEEEEEEEEP!
This is an amazing build. With how often Pbandai pushes clear kits on us. I'm glad to see you doing something awesome with one. I like how you painted the under armor bits too. Reminds me of your Deathscythe. The paint you used. Mr. Crystal Color. Do you find that it changes the color of the overall piece? Or does it just add the green effect while viewing from an angle? Great work and I'm happy to wait in-between vids because you always deliver
Thank you my bro. The green effect is definitely more pronounced on certain angles but the Mr Crystal color does not change the overall color of the piece unless you spray it really thick, then the base color becomes paler and paler. I appreciate the kind words man, truly!
Amazing build and idea!
Thank you so much!
Amazing work on this project man! The pattern you chose to showcase the regeneration of the armor was very tastefully done without taking away from the main armor pieces, a very balanced build! There are so many take aways from this video I will want to pick your brain about but I am most definitely inspired to create a mini dio. You executed that base so well and the painting of the nebula was a master piece alone!
Pick my brain anytime man. lol. Thanks brotha!
Superb build!
Thank you!
I like this idea. I will try this once the 19th bduck kit release
Love that idea.
criminally underrated channel, your work is mind-blowing
we'll get there. but thank you brotha! you are too kind.
Beautiful my friend. Totally worth the watch to see the final result ❤️
I appreciate the support my man!
Fantastic work!👏👍 The Dynames grew on me over time and the pilot was the only character I liked in the show. The other characters were kinda crazy lol.
I agree. Lockon had all the personality. Hallelujah Haptism had 2. xD
That's a high effort build and process vid 👍
Even without any modifications, doing this clear kit wasn't as quick as I anticipated.
@ I dug the way you added variety/interest to the transluscent areas with silver backing and especially the hex-masked paint 👍
Do you like clear kits? I like them enough to try them every once in a while. They are fun to test out more uncommon painting. Anyway, thank you all for watching and being patient. I know it's been more than a month since my last upload. Please let me know what you think. P.S. I really need to know how to fix voiceovers. lol.
Really cool idea and a unique take on using a clear kit. Keep improving brother!
I appreciate it man. I will keep pushing!
If David from Cyberpunk became a Gundam Pilot
Nailed it.
Great video and build! I love that you actually explain and show everything you did, it's so incredibly helpful as somebody trying to learn these things myself.
Thanks man. Just trying to share what I do and make it easy for everyone if they are curious to try it for themselves.
This is so cool and amazing..
I appreciate you! Thank you.
Dragon Banshee.
Possibly, yeah.
Coolest gunpla I've ever seen! Felicitaciones!
Gracias!
AND ON THE MG! GO GO GO !❤❤❤
really great custom concept and that thing looked great.
I appreciate you and the kind words brotha!
This got to be the best custom yet!! Are you selling bro??
Thank you man! I am selling this and other's on my Etsy shop (JohnnyMechashop) if you're interested. Or you can also DM me on my socials and we can work something out.
Fking awesome bro 👍
Thanks man!
After seeing this, you should try and make a Deadpool gundam to match. Maybe the Strike Noir or the Sword Impulse
If the inspiration strikes, maybe I will. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey sick build! Wondering how you did the eyes at the end? It even looks like it's behind a visor! Hope you do more variety of kits like these or even SDs.
Sprayed fluorscent paint on it and black light to make it glow. Thanks man. I would love to do other types of kits but maybe when I get better traction in my channel. This one almost ruined the algorithm for because it's more niche than gunpla..
@@johnnymechahand oh okay ): Well I still enjoyed your other content regardless so thanks for the hard work!
@@monotechnic thanks man! I will for sure make customize other kits every once in a while. 😁
amazing
Thanks bro!
Damn dude I’m just watching this in the background as I paint and I just looked up at the end. Holy smokes! I’d seen some of the Japanese builders doing some cool effects like this but your the first one I’ve seen do it on TH-cam. The slicing effect looks pretty convincing and perfect poses. This channel is criminally underrated imo.
Man, I really appreciate that. Funny enough, Ray Studios tutorial on the flying sparks came out just as I was finishing this so I got to try it out for myself in this build. Talk about perfect timing.
That’s a cool little drill. Who makes it?
My hand drill or the router? My hand drill is from Dspiae, and the motorized drill/router is from David union.
