I really love the way you use the filaments and airbrushed cotton to capture such amazing dynamic moments in a static scene. I'd love to see a diorama going over the top with this effect.
Your videos never disappoint, it doesn't matter the subject of the diorama, if it's Star Wars, Wild Imaginary West or random battles... What a beauty of a diorama!
1:32 Well those two in particular are known to have fought each other a bit. Those are both character mobile suits belonging to the main protagonist and arguably the main antagonist of the first series. So yeah people are gonna pit these two against each other.
Ive been watching your channel for a few months now, def enjoying your building techniques which I can only describe as "attainable DIY but also very skilled and professional." I am re-arranging my Nerd Room at the moment and have several SW and other model kits I plan on doing some mini shelf dioramas with. Thanks for showing us your creativity!
Those 2 were rivals in the show and are the most popular characters. They are the most available kits, so originality when picking up gunpla retail is difficult. Your take on the fight was really cool.
This is my favorite older video of yours. This video helped me find your channel since I am a big Gunpla builder and I was searching for inspiration on a Gundam diorama, I love what you did here!
Ive toyed around with the idea of building dioramas myself for a while, but never did anything. In the recent videos by you i finally gave myself a little push and bought the stuff and just built. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Anyway, thank you for the great content!
I like the way that you used XPS and the plaster rocks together. That's a nice combo. Great job on using the underlying plastic colors of the Gundams but sprucing it up with washes, edge highlights, and bare metal touches. Nice. Your cotton ball skills are growing! : ) Where oh where did you get that extremely tiny wiring from? I could have used that on my last project! Looks great, C!
Damn, that looks fantastic! As an until recently new viewer I really appreciate that you explain details of your work like the isopropyl alcohol+watered down glue process anew each time! While I'm at it, could you spell out the word before "highlights" you use in many of your Imaginary Wild West videos? Also, what are greeblies or however you spell that?
Wikipedia: A greeble, or "nurnies", is a part harvested from plastic modeling kits to be applied to an original model as a detail element. The practice of using parts in this manner is called "kitbashing".
Awesome Gundam diorama sir!! I love the LEDs and smoke trails, they really help to sell the action going on. I was kind of surprised when you choose not to paint the figures, but decided to just detail them instead. The end result was very impressive and I was amazed at how much believability you achieved with just a wash and some light weathering. Simply masterful job!
I'd definitely recommend getting more into doing gunpla if you like the kits. the real grade kits get more janky the older the kit is but they look amazing. I have a gunpla addiction. also id suggest for anyone buying gunpla to go on websites like newtype.
Excellent work; especially the way you finished the models without painting any major parts! Those Bandai Gundam and Star Wars kits are marvels of engineering. It's remarkable how they're able to produce parts of different colors on a single parts tree. (I'm still amazed at the Darth Vader TIE Fighter with the solar panels being a single piece molded in TWO colors.) As a sidebar, when I was in Junior High School in the early 1970's, Bandai was famous for their detailed 1/48 scale World War 2 tank kits, complete with engines and interiors. I wish they'd bring some of those back . . . .
I'm not even into Star Wars or Gundam and I eagerly devour these videos every week. Your artistic skill *makes* me care about franchises I would otherwise have no interest in.
This is the first diorama of gundam that i saw with this details and no over killing the kits with paint. this diorama kit. makes me want to build one ! IT LOOKS SUPPER AMAZING!
Perfect timing I have a buddy that hit me up yesterday thinking about getting into gunpla. So Im sharing your video with him to give him some inspiration.
The neon filaments really take the project to the next level. Even small additions of weathering to the Gundam improve the presentation so much. And now that you've started tapping into the Gundam model-building, I hope to see you possibly look at Transformers figures as well and see how creative you can get with that. With Transformers, there's so many different versions of every character (G1, Cybertron, Animated, etc) that the possibilities are endless. Like different versions of Optimus Prime fighting different versions of Megatron in a massive battle or something.
It's really impressive to see a final product this good looking with such a low asking price on time committment and required knowledge. We need more stuff like this that lowers the percieved barrier of entry to dioramawork
I love it. The only criticism I have is that I wish you'd lit up the monoeye on the MS-06S and the eyes on the RX-78-2; I think it would've been a great extra detail that would've drawn the eye to three separate points, between the weapons, thrusters, and eyes, and lit up the fronts of the suits a bit better so they weren't silhouetted quite as much. But all that said, amazing work!
I have built a few Gundam figures in the past, but man what you do with them is Amazing. You always make everything look so realistic. I just love to watch you work, I look forward to it every week.
When I got my first HG Gunpla and built it, I felt like something was missing; I thought I need a "better" detailed gunpla like RG or something to make it looks cool, but watching this video made me realizes that it's not what kind of grade my gunpla is, but turns out it's how creative I could be to make the product looks cool. This is amazing. I should finish my other HG gunpla and probably buy some led filaments and some paint. Thank you for this, you're awesome. subbed.
I've been watching your diorama builds for a short time now and the time and effort you put forth is astonishing. They look amazing. I originally looked for ideas on materials to use on my gunpla dioramas. This was a gorgeous tribute to a Gundam classic. Thanks so much for being awesome.
I've been building Gunpla for years. I love what you did with Char's Bazooka. Ever since I saw the strobe LED's you have on the Star Wars videos I have wanted to do one melting through a mobile suit.
This is awesome, you're so good at the cotton explosions. I would maybe paint the silver pipes that are holding them up, with that black 3.0 stuff so they blend into the background. My buddy really likes this figurines, so this was cool.
Beautiful scene, the resin on the base of the saber was perfect. The diorama Boylei found on Pinterest was very well-executed, but his own 'rendition' is stunning. The nerd in me noted of the finished work: Ray-san must be very confident on this day, for he has positioned his shield to absorb the incoming explosive projectile, rather than using a shallow angle to deflect the round.
The differences between a lightsaber and a beam saber is pretty hard to tell but if you look at the blades you could tell the difference lightsabers are stiff clay that has some weird properties that make no (most these of properties being based on weight) a beam saber has a more of a stiff whip property due to this the tip of the sword would curve up a little when slashing downwards also there are a lot more creative than just the Saber themselves you also have axes and whips javelin's full-on katanas and Blades to some swords with a metal outer structure kind of like a taser
Was drawn to how you said you're not a big proponent of following instructions, but because you wanted to stay accurate to the material, you decided to follow the instructions for this project. I'd love to see what you can make using a Gunpla kit but going wild with your own imagination instead of relying on how it's supposed to be built!
First time I've seen someone use acrylic washes and alcohol in a reductive method like enamel/oil washes and mineral spirits on TH-cam. Great work man!!
Oh wow, this looks so great! The very defined colors of the suits combined with the bright colors of the light effects are stunning! I especially like how the bazooka shot's rendered
Envious of your creativity here. I want to learn to do all this. I paint and assemble models but its putting it all together in a diorama that's missing. Well done
Absolutely amazing video! It has given me more motivation to do builds like this of my own soon. One suggestion would be if possible to put lights on the eyes
This is an amazing diorama and it goes to show you that you really don't need to break the bank to have an amazing piece like that in your collection thank you I'm inspired to see what I can do with stuff I have lying around the property now
I wonder how amazing and creative people could be with these skills and Master grade kits with them being bigger and more comfortable to add and hide wires.
I just recently remembered your channel; this was the first video I watched, and man I missed watching your videos mate, spectacular job just like always
I just love how vibrant and neon it looks, truly an epic battle
Very Gundam Thunderbolt
Sieg neon!
@@AnvilAlex lol
So freakin sick, shame the Zaku doesn't have a littleight for its eye though
I'm always amazed how well the final product comes out. The lights and smoke trails look so realistic, in such an unrealistic scene
Indeedy, his lighting work covers all the other stuff
This build just confirms that anything you decide to do is exceptionally done! Love the lights and smoke, and would love to see more Gunpla dioramas!
I really love the way you use the filaments and airbrushed cotton to capture such amazing dynamic moments in a static scene. I'd love to see a diorama going over the top with this effect.
I think using it sparsely to give an accent to this piece is what makes the effect 🤔
I remember getting a gundam for Christmas when I was around 7 or 8 and it was one of my favorite toys. This diorama kicks ass!
I look forward to these dioramas every week. You never disappoint, they just keep getting cooler.
This is honestly the coolest Gundam diorama I’ve ever seen.
Go look for ray studio or studio g or sdark, They build the coolest Gunpla and Gundam diorama... This person here not even close..
You must be new here.
Personally disagree. Those poses just look offputting at best
@@wjgaming6662 glazing way too much
Your videos never disappoint, it doesn't matter the subject of the diorama, if it's Star Wars, Wild Imaginary West or random battles... What a beauty of a diorama!
Gunpla kits are rad as hell. Some truly wild engineering and great sources for kitbashing. Awesome to see your take on it.
Literally my favorite video of yours! Inspired me to make this one day!!!
I have a huge soft spot for Gundam- I'm so glad you made something from that genre! It looks terrific, as always!
1:32 Well those two in particular are known to have fought each other a bit. Those are both character mobile suits belonging to the main protagonist and arguably the main antagonist of the first series. So yeah people are gonna pit these two against each other.
The lights look sooo good. I love what you did with these models

Been building gunpla for 5 years now and this is an amazing diorama you created. Great work!
Those 2 were rivals in the show and are the most popular characters. They are the most available kits, so originality when picking up gunpla retail is difficult. Your take on the fight was really cool.
This looks just like a scene from any Gundam series or side story! Amazing result!!
Now this is what I'm talking about, a man after my own heart. Keep up the great work
As a massive gunpla fan, this is incredible!!! I love it so much. Well done sir, you inspire me to want to be better lol.
This is my favorite older video of yours. This video helped me find your channel since I am a big Gunpla builder and I was searching for inspiration on a Gundam diorama, I love what you did here!
You do such a great job of selling the scene in all your dioramas! The smoke trails are a really great effect!
Dude, this video finally pushed me over the edge to get into gundam and I just bought my fist kit
Spectacular work. Hope to see more Gundam/Gunpla dioramas soon...
Ive toyed around with the idea of building dioramas myself for a while, but never did anything. In the recent videos by you i finally gave myself a little push and bought the stuff and just built. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Anyway, thank you for the great content!

Looks great, C!
More of this please! I really admire all your work for WIW. i watch your videos everyday at office with a full intention of making my own.
Go Bandai Gundam! great to see a different genre. thanks.
Words can’t explain how much and how long I’ve been waiting/wanting for you to gundam! I’ve been happy after this appearing in my notifications
Damn, that looks fantastic!

The shield is upside down!
no it's not lmao that's how it's supposed to be
@@bored-z2397i think the guy watched gundam the origin
I feel like that's what someone who would pour out their coffee checking their watch would say. 😂
It feels like he’s right the viewport is at the bottom
No the shield is good
Love gunpla and love the fact that one of my favorite youtubers is also intreseted!!
As one who’s been building Gunplas for years, and started to do Dioramas with them just last year, WELCOME TO THE HOBBY.
You made a exceptional work!
I'm not even into Star Wars or Gundam and I eagerly devour these videos every week. Your artistic skill *makes* me care about franchises I would otherwise have no interest in.
This is so freaking awesome! great job man, I've been building gunpla for 10+ years and this is just too cool
Super cool! Really glad you finally knocked a few gunpla out
yo man this MASTER piece is the best gundam fighting scene i ever saw on the internet keep up the good work!
This is incredible, as a huge fan of gundam you've absolutely nailed it! Can't wait to see what you create next!
I love how epic this fight looks. Loved watching the Gundam animes and playing some of the games but seeing this is so much better
This is the first diorama of gundam that i saw with this details and no over killing the kits with paint. this diorama kit. makes me want to build one ! IT LOOKS SUPPER AMAZING!
This is amazing. Been seeing it around the web in all the Gunpla groups. Contest winner for sure
actual fav vid. been going back to this from time to time to get inspiration on my own build
Perfect timing I have a buddy that hit me up yesterday thinking about getting into gunpla. So Im sharing your video with him to give him some inspiration.

Like different versions of Optimus Prime fighting different versions of Megatron in a massive battle or something.
The final product always blows my mind. The light, the smoke is perfectly together. All of them create an awesome scene!
This might be one of my favorite so far in terms of the lighting elements. Looks so good, excellent job my friend!
It's really impressive to see a final product this good looking with such a low asking price on time committment and required knowledge. We need more stuff like this that lowers the percieved barrier of entry to dioramawork
FINALLY! been wanting to see a Gundam Diorama from you for a long while!!
I love it. The only criticism I have is that I wish you'd lit up the monoeye on the MS-06S and the eyes on the RX-78-2; I think it would've been a great extra detail that would've drawn the eye to three separate points, between the weapons, thrusters, and eyes, and lit up the fronts of the suits a bit better so they weren't silhouetted quite as much.

Nice looking diorama-what an epic battle that would actually be in a movie or show!
It’s so beautiful it’s bringing tears to my eyes.
This is my fav video cause it’s what brought ur channel to my attention. Pls do more gundam dioramas
I've been watching your diorama builds for a short time now and the time and effort you put forth is astonishing. They look amazing. I originally looked for ideas on materials to use on my gunpla dioramas. This was a gorgeous tribute to a Gundam classic. Thanks so much for being awesome.

This is a dream come true! 😱 Would love to see you do more!!
Gundam is my favourite franchise ever. The vibrant colours are so cool and live like.
Im a huge Gundam fan, and your videos are what got me into modeling! I've been wanting this for so long, an amazing build!
Awesome! Looks spectacular! The tip of isopropyl alcohol to help spreading diluted pva glue is very useful.
This might just be your best work involving LEDs, absolutely fantastic!
Welcome to your new backlog collecting hobby.
I have binged most of your videos this last month after I discovered your channel. Can’t wait for more!
my favorite by far. been waiting for you to do some gunpla stuff
The dynamic angle of this one is amazing!! Great work

Looks absolutely epic, awesome work Hobby Time
Bad ass man. Just found the world of Gunpla. It’s cool to see the things ppl do with them.
the smoke adds so much here
In my inexperienced oppinion probably your best work when it comes to the lighting led effects, they look so realistic!
Oh wow, this looks so great! The very defined colors of the suits combined with the bright colors of the light effects are stunning!
I especially like how the bazooka shot's rendered
Great battle
It is always great seeing a nonspecific artist nailing the look of feel of something better then the hardcore ones.
Mannn I love these scene where zaku and gundam clashes, you had me there. This is cool man🥰
That is AWESOME! I never could’ve imagined it would turn out like that! Great imagination! And creativeness!!!!
this 100% deserves a sub. Keep up the amazing work fam!
Envious of your creativity here. I want to learn to do all this. I paint and assemble models but its putting it all together in a diorama that's missing. Well done
This is now my favorite TH-cam channel!
I started collecting Gundam this last year, I'd love to see more gunpla related content!
Absolutely amazing video! It has given me more motivation to do builds like this of my own soon. One suggestion would be if possible to put lights on the eyes
This is an amazing diorama and it goes to show you that you really don't need to break the bank to have an amazing piece like that in your collection thank you I'm inspired to see what I can do with stuff I have lying around the property now
Love your vids. Great projects & love the commentry too. 10/10.
lets go! hype to see you do some gundam stuff
I wonder how amazing and creative people could be with these skills and Master grade kits with them being bigger and more comfortable to add and hide wires.
your builds are always so straightforward, yet amazing. I love them.
Such simple elements, but they all came together so nicely. Well done, man...
As a gundam fan with years of building experience... you are a master of this art lol. This is the type to be in a museum
I just recently remembered your channel; this was the first video I watched, and man I missed watching your videos mate, spectacular job just like always
nice build. one of the coolest lighting effects i have seen.
This video is sick! I love the lighting the most. Great job once again.
