Taking the first step is always tough. Maybe you have an older kit that you're not too attached to anymore and which you can use for practice. Wish you good luck and thanks for your support :)
Last sunday I bought my first Gunpla and I was really excited to take the next step, paint and weathering, but I wasn't sure about it; a friend sent me this video and now I feel motivated to enhance my Astray blue. Thanks
Thanks man! I'm happy this video can still help people, despite being so old. I've been thinking about updating it some day with new techniques that I learned. For now, thanks for watching though :)
Just starting to get into Gunpla myself, and I'm hoping to do some weathering stuff, too. The fact that I started out with the same kit you're using certainly helps.
Dude this is so refreshing! but more importantly really encouraging!! The amount of videos of this stuff where the everything is already figured out and then done is nuts! I already feel way more connected to your video cuz it's like a "ahhhh! THIS is the direction i need to go!" feeling if that makes any sense. I've only recently found my love for gunpla and since im also an artist, im really curious about customising and adding detail, battle damage etc. so this was the PERFECT VIDEO for me to find! So THANKS! and best of luck on your journey ahead as I begin mine!!
Right back at you. Those are some very encouraging words. Thanks a lot for that honest comment. I have to be honest, while I do like panel scribing and the end result, I enjoy the weathering process a bit more. Especially chipping and rust effects are so much fun to paint. What kind of art do you do? And yes, same to you. Enjoy the gunpla journey, it's such a wonderful hobby :)
@@GiantRobolove I work in animation but do illustration commissions on the side! I think it's the implied movement and poses in model kits in general is the reason why I love em! and then the potential stories behind the battle damage is *chef's kiss!*
@@kevincullen3086 Hey that's interesting. I take it you mean frame by frame animation, since you're also doing illustrations? I work as an art director for motion design and always wanted to try out some frame by frame stuff in projects. Yeah, the posability is something that I love about the kits as well. Creating dynamic poses is not easy 😅
@@GiantRobolove yooo yeah bang on! Frame by frame! And woah that fantastic! It makes loads of sense i suppose since you're making videos, still really cool tho! And yeah out line of work REALLY helps with poses! 😂👌👌👌
Ive been watching a bunch of tutorials as prep for trying my first weathered kit. I have to say this is by FAR the most understandable one I've seen and the one ill be coming back to when its time to do my custome Heindree sturm in a few weeks
Thank you a lot for those kind words. Maybe it's time to do a refresher video on this, since I've learned so much more since then. Either way, I appreciate the sentiment and wish you good luck with your gunpla journey!
@@GiantRobolove Thanks! I actually did a test build using a fed zaku and this video as a guide. I'm super happy with the results and will absolutely be continuing to reference your channel going forward!
this video man. ill be honest i watched this like 3 times randomly for the past yesr and ive been so anxious ab doing this but this weekend i said fuggit and went all in and i couldnt be more satisfied. it all worked out. parts may be messed up but not everyone will notice it especially woth the other cool effects. its just a new world of fun and this video made it feel like im trying it right along with you
looks really good. Thanks much for talking through your process, and the parts that you did/didn't like and what you'd do differently in the future. Really helpful stuff!
i started building gunpla about a year ago and it’s been such a fun hobby, but i’ve been dreading the idea of weathering for fear of making it look awful, but this video really inspired me to try it out!
Well done, man. I come from (sci-fi) scale modelling and painting and weathering really is a must, if you want something to not look like a toy. I hope more Gunpla enthusiasts try it out, because even simple techniques like panel lining, chipping and some grime and dirt can have a huuuge impact on the look and scale of your Gundam. Keep it up!
Hey thanks for your comment. Yeah I kinda developed a thing for that weathered look. If you have any nice YT channels for learning, I'd appreciate it if you shared. Always open to learn new stuff :) what models do you build?
@@GiantRobolove I think you mentioned NightShift already in one of your videos. If you follow his builds, that's plenty of good ideas and instructions. Usually I build sci-fi stuff like Star Wars and scratch build my own models like a Dralthi from the Wing Commander games series. Was watching your vids because I am also buying some Gundams from time to time, hehe.
Yeah, I learned so moch from that channel. Nice, scratch building must be so much fun. Do you happen to know Studson Studios or Boylei Hobbytime? They also do a lot of scratch building.
About to do my first gunpla and have been absolutely terrified at the weathering part of the process. This video has been beyond helpful.. I was particularly worried about not knowing what I should be careful of, and I think you did a fantastic job of bringing awareness to potential mistakes. I'm def in a better position to navigate my weathering process now.. 10/10, subbed (and dubbed).
Hey, thanks a lot for those kind words. I'm glad this video was able to help. I was in the same position as you. After all, this was my first time weathering as well. It's all a fun learning process :) Which one did you pick as your first gunpla?
@@GiantRobolove funny timing, I'm building it right now and almost done with the torso lol This is an intimidating, but oddly meditative process. I got a RX-78 Origin Master Grade.. had to keep it iconic for my first. Planning on grabbing a real grade Zaku or an entry grade to experiment on the weathering and maybe airbrushing.. I realized while building this that I'd rather not experiment with customizing on this RX-78.. gonna test everything first then apply what I've learned from my experiment (and your tips in this video). Man, I feel the addictive properties of this hobby taking over.
Haha nice, the granddaddy of all Gundams 👍 glad you like the hobby. It's going to feel so rewarding when you're done building. Good call with the entry grade, makes perfect sense. And yeah, it's totally addictive, the backlog pile is getting bigger and bigger 😅
Just the video class that I was looking for. I been building Gunpla kit for a year and now wanted to do some customization , weathering is a great start. Need to get some tools. But this video it is perfect. Cheers :)
@@GiantRobolove I got the Ruling from IN ERA+ I like it and did some weathering not that bad for my first try. Already ordered the weathering set and the markers. :)
Thanks! I know how you feel. Starting out is always tough, but the journey is so much fun and each time you start a new kit, you learn something new. Don't give up :)
@@GiantRobolove I got alot out of it! i recently started painting my figures, wasnt really sure how to weather, i stumbled upon your video and it really helped me bring depth into my painting!
I loved your down-to-earth approach, humbleness and fun in your video. Your results are pretty good and like everyone else in this hobby, is a long journey to become a better gunpla builder. However we have to remember it’s a hobby and must be fun! Trial and error and experimenting are the key. I subscribed to your channel. If you like, take a look at my gunplas and diorama. I’m an amateur but I’m having fun!
Hey Natale, that is such a nice comment, thank you so much. You're definitely right, it's a journey. Everytime I tackle a new kit I try to learn a new technique. I'll have a look at your channel :)
Thanks man. I should try and go back to battle damage one day. Somehow I got caught in other disciplines of Gunpla and never got around to improving those weathering skills.
I would r beta yourself up about the outcome tbh I think it still looks great! Plus you’re only going to get better and better at it the more you do it
I think it looks great! Well done! To me what brings the kits to live are decals. I think decals would have made it even better than it already is! btw, I think the scratches on the shield came out great! Not too much in my opinion. :)
Thank you. Now that you mention it, I think I don't even own any waterdecals for that kit. I recently got my hands on the RG 2.0. For that one I will definitely get some decals.
@@GiantRobolove I saw people use either third-party decals made for the RX78-2 entry grade or they used decals from a higher grade 1/144 RX78 :) I recently finished a megasize unicorn, with painting, decals, coating, including LEDs. took forever :D I want to buy the RX78 entry grade to learn new things without destroying an expensive set :D That's how I found your channel. Keep up the great work
Wow loved this video. Thank you for uploading. I am just getting back into Gunpla and just picked up an entry level rx-78 and want to customize it similar to yours. Was great seeing the process and some things you learned from your process. Did you start with the entry grade RX as well?
Hey Adam, thanks a bunch. Customizing your kits is a really rewarding process. If you're asking about my first customized kit, then it's the HG RX. But my very first kit that I ever built was the MG Aile Strike. It was that time when I got into Gundam Seed and gunpla in general. Then I took a long break and started again only last year with the HG Moon Gundam. Have fun customizing your's :)
I really wanna do some weathering on my next kit hg barbatos lupus and the mobile worker. I've weathered my rx's beam rifle with oil paint and lighter fluid as a wash
Haha yeah, somehow it's bound to happen to anyone with their first kit 😅 it's part of the learning process, so no shame in that :) Next one's gonna be better.
Nice! Glad this video a help to you. If you're looking for a more advanced technique on weathering, which adds more detail, check out the Zaku video as well :)
Hey there, I was recommended this video after I had to purchase a second Aerial Gundam HG after my first had avery small clear/smoky gray piece was snipped and went flying/disappeared on me. Guess I'd make the second have battle damage-any idea for head damage for Aerial? It's already a suit that reacts on its own.
I'm a bit confused, there are a lot of panel lines that didn't come with the original kit, did you make them? how? you mentioned something about chisel sizes but we didn't watch you use any chisels x.x
Yo what's up. This video is a follow up video. You can check out the first one (where I talk about scribing) here: th-cam.com/video/lqESellEfXw/w-d-xo.html
@@GiantRobolove it happened late last year. like you, i was scared but then decided to post it anyway and i got lots of constructive criticism and it was a nice liberating feeling. About the piece, i did not put any damage and as you may uave heard already "less is more". it is there in Zack's channel.
Thank you for that nice comment. Well, I'm not a pro with panel lining either. But yeah, I try to let the color flow into the panel lines slowly and not use too much paint. When you clean up the excess paint afterwards with the thinner, don't apply too much pressure on the surface with the q-tip. Otherwise you will wipe off the paint in the panel lines as well. In the end it's about practice. You will get it right after some time :)
Why thanks. That was my first kit, so much happened since then. Feel free to check out my Z'Gok or Zeta videos. There is more (and better) panel lining going on.
Hey Moonlight, the color that I was using in the Zaku weathering video was from Vallejo, which are acrylic based. So yes, you can totally use those. In fact, I'm currently working on an Astray on which I want to add some mudd and rust effects.
Nah man I started with battle damage and now alll my eraly models are unpresentable lol you knocked it out of the park for a first go, personaly I do panel line in about 50% cool grey, id say for damage marks dont paneline them, instead id paint them silver. Also if you want bullet holes heat up a headphone jack they leave amazing bullet craters
It's learning process, so all good. Did you try with new kits again? And thanks for the tips, I will keep that in mind. Esp that one with the headphones. I mean, everyone has some broken ones laying around right? 😄
I really hope you Gloss coated that kit before you panel lined it. Otherwise that kit is ruined. Always Gloss coat before you do panel lines. It does two things. 1. it helps the panel line wash flow better. 2. It protects the plastic from being made brittle by the Enamel paint that is used to make the panel line wash.
You're being a little too hard on yourself. The damage is great. I think you just got hung up on the initial stage of development. The end result is fantastic.
Thanks! I guess sometimes the toughest one to critique one's work is you yourself. But yeah, it's a learning process and each step takes you a bit further. Thank you for your kind words :)
Im hesitant about trying it but seein u do it gave me some inspiration. Hope this gets recommended to a lot of beginners like me
Taking the first step is always tough. Maybe you have an older kit that you're not too attached to anymore and which you can use for practice. Wish you good luck and thanks for your support :)
As a model painter thats been in the hobby for over 15 years, i can say, you did a great job. Looks awesome1

for weathering on light color like white you want to weather in black and darker color use silver

@@GiantRobolove maybe exia dark matter 1/144
Yeah the silver should look really good on the dark parts of the kit.
Which Grandad kit is this? It looks really good
Thanks man. That is the 1/144 HG Revive edition.
@@GiantRobolove I just realized you did all the custom panel lines. I thought that it came like that. My goodness you have talent
Why thanks. That was my first kit, so much happened since then. Feel free to check out my Z'Gok or Zeta videos. There is more (and better) panel lining going on.
hello. is it possible to add weathering effects to a gunpla with brown acrylic paint and water? thanks.
Hey Moonlight, the color that I was using in the Zaku weathering video was from Vallejo, which are acrylic based. So yes, you can totally use those. In fact, I'm currently working on an Astray on which I want to add some mudd and rust effects.
I really like the rust effect. I want to get the tamiya rust and weathering kit for my rx or kne i get barbatos lupus.
Nah man I started with battle damage and now alll my eraly models are unpresentable lol you knocked it out of the park for a first go, personaly I do panel line in about 50% cool grey, id say for damage marks dont paneline them, instead id paint them silver. Also if you want bullet holes heat up a headphone jack they leave amazing bullet craters
It's learning process, so all good. Did you try with new kits again? And thanks for the tips, I will keep that in mind. Esp that one with the headphones. I mean, everyone has some broken ones laying around right? 😄
you are a fast learner🙂
Well it's been a while since then haha. Would be sad if there were no progress 😅
totally undestand 🙂,going tru the same thing with my mg hi nu
@@GiantRobolove
Yeah, I saw on IG. Excited to see the final result :)
Thank you!
No, Thank YOU for watching!
I really hope you Gloss coated that kit before you panel lined it. Otherwise that kit is ruined. Always Gloss coat before you do panel lines. It does two things.
1. it helps the panel line wash flow better.
2. It protects the plastic from being made brittle by the Enamel paint that is used to make the panel line wash.
Thx for the explanation! I'll keep that in mind.
do you use gloss or semi gloss for the coat?
If I remember correctly, for this one I used flat Top Coat.
Is this titanium silver acrylic? Or enamel?
That's acrylic color. I haven't tried any enamel color yet.
You're being a little too hard on yourself. The damage is great. I think you just got hung up on the initial stage of development. The end result is fantastic.
Thanks! I guess sometimes the toughest one to critique one's work is you yourself. But yeah, it's a learning process and each step takes you a bit further. Thank you for your kind words :)
it is a hg ?
Yeah, it's a high grade.
