Bro, thank you for sharing what you have learned. You def seem to take a "smarter, not harder" approach. Love it.
Thank you! 😀😀😀
Hand painting with different types of paint would be incredibly helpful!
I don't have any where to host an Airbrush station at all, and local weather prevents me from doing spraycan work.
Loving the channel so far man, keep up the good work!
Yes
Justin, you inspire me to keep getting better and with every tutorial video I watch I feel as if my dream diorama isn't so hard after all. Hearing you talk about how you're still a long way from mastering a skill makes me feel not so bad when it comes to my own gunpla skills. Thanks for the videos and encouragement!
No problem buddy! Keep working hard and let's grow together bro :D
Seam removal with nested parts and painting.
Great vid, one of my favorite gunpla you tubers, came from studio G

Loving the academy so far and i definitely love the new motto
Never stop learning guys
NEVER STOP LEARNING AND BUILDING HAHAHA
@@gaahleriacademy just testing u bro 😂
Symetrical scribing and rounded scribing pls
Great tips and an awesome tutorial video. Looking to start getting into a lot more when it comes to customizing my Gunpla so this really helped. Thanks man!
I love your vids, from the main channel and now this one too, always great info
PLA Plates work for next, man you're awesome, never stop learning! G fam
Love this channel. Thanks to your help, the only tool missing from my kit is masking tape and a cutting mat. Keep em comin G! You're an absolute legend 💖
Thanks you so much for the info. I will use this on my next zaku build. I can't wait. I'm excited
Thank you for this! I would want you to include how you avoid paint stripping when reassembling the kit on the next video, thanks! 🙏
Definitely a great topic to talk about! 😃
great first tutorial for the new G Academy! I hope to see a solid tutorial on scribing soon. Thats my next big thing to learn and I'm certainly struggling with it. lol.
I'm planning to begin modifying my Gunpla and your new YT Channel will help a lot. Very timely. Thanks for sharing and thank you for giving us motivation by your works! Hoping for Scribing and Pla-plate lesson next time. 😊
Great tutorial and grats on the start of a new channel!
What I'd like to learn is to how to do hand painting on things that are on surfaces that are1 cm^2 or larger. I don't have an airbrush and I only have a few aerosol cans. Despite experimenting with different ratios of paint to thinner, I'm always finding bubbles or uneven layers of paint. And I have yet to see a Gunpla TH-cam channel masterfully hand paint a kit.
I don't want to push traffic away from the boy studio G but if you search paintonplastic he hand paints larger kits, has a red beret video he does that's very helpful.
your explanations are so easy to follow! thanks so much!
Your masking on Nu Gundam is not bad, very perfect
Omg love the second channel
super helpful as always. thanks for another video
OMG thank you! I needed this SO bad cause I keep messing up the masking and had to re paint the whole piece 😭
It's all part of the learning process :)
Yes sensei
Also will you to a tutorial on weathering?
Thank you for making it simple! Love you vids. Keep doing what you're doing
Thank you for making more tutorial videos!
Thank you for the valuable information, Love your work.
Thank you very much for this tutorial! I learn a lot from this video. Maybe I will do this on my upcoming project.
Please do tutorial for decals (peel-and-stick, water transfer, dry transfer), I'm looking forward for your trick for the decals!
Good tutorial man! Thank you
Thank you! 😃😃😃

Great advice
Would love to hear your take on shading and preshading technique
Definitely will in the near future when I'm more confident with the technique! 😃
Can you please upload a tutorial about sanding and polishing
Definitely a topic that I will talk about :)
@@gaahleriacademy Thank you sooo much Studio G!!! Cuz I'm an aspiring gunpla builder from Visayas!! ❤️

I heard that using other tape like scotch tape will melt due to the paint being to hot is this true?
Finally
Do detail painting!!!!
Definitely will in the near future! 😃😃😃
Decals application please
My experience with it? I scratched my paints quite a lot with my knife whilst trying to cut my tapes
Hello, should I put some topcoat on the piece before masking? So, that i won’t ruin the base paint
Is it recommended to use regular masking tape, like what we can buy only in school supplies store?
Hey bro can you make vid how to apply pla plate mod
please make Indonesian subtitles 🙏
can we use industrial masking tape?
I have no masking tape may I use clay instead
Tip #2 is false, Tamiya and Mr. Hobby use a washi tape versus a traditional painters tape that is much thicker. (Here in the States anyway..)
The additional thickness will create a “lip” of paint as it builds up against the tape instead of flowing over it. It’s minuscule but will matter when the paint viscosity is incorrect. This makes the lines less crisp and uneven or the paint will grab when the tape is removed making chips and touch ups necessary.
Any suggestions for starting gunpla
can you do how to make gundam bow
So, question. I watched you general purpose Barbatos video. After you painted the pistons red, you put masking tape on the red paint. Afterward the next paint job, you primed it. Do you not need to prime the color you're putting the tape on?
I am just getting back into it and bought a HG Kampfer, that I was planning on painting. I always notice in your videos you build the models and then disassembled them to paint, so I was gonna do the same. However, I can't disassemble it, lol, I tried to take its head off and think I broke it a bit as it's really loose now. I'm scared to try again. Can you do a video on how to disassemble or how to build in such a way for easy disassembly, please?
He paint it using brush or spray can?
So you can put masking tape over painted parts that are dry? :0 im new to painting gunpla!
what brand of masking tape would you recommend to use with gunpla?
Did you primer first?
Key note is to say "hoooo" before cutting 🤣 just kidding2:10
Any tips for scribing? I've masked before and always hated the process. I'm starting to think it's because I've never scribed my parts before. What tools would I need and are there any tips for using those tools?
Oh your airbrushed the paint on. Every time I use masking tape I'm normally hand painting or using gundam markers but annoyingly the paint always seeps into the masking tape. Is it possible to use masking tape for hand painting because it doesn't make sense to me to mix paints and airbrush for tiny details when I have many markers?
I have this blue scotch tape will that work?
May tanung po ako Idol
What if you use the stickers as your masking tape? Lets say like I prime the parts with white primer and then apply my color paint then I wanna mask it with the sticker for color separation for the next color paint. So when removing the sticker afterwards, will it damage the 1st colored paint? Or is there a way to prevent damage when peeling the gunpla sticker when used as masking tape?
In short po, okay bang gamitin sticker bilang masking tape after may paint na ang parts?😅
I've been having lots of trouble masking my parts so this tutorial is very helpful!
With that said, sometimes the paint I use edges out underneath the masking tape and gets onto some parts I didn't want in that color. How can I remedy this?

How to cut a model kit parts for custom
Justin , I have almost finished my OO but I am facing a problem , I have red, metalic silver and gold which colour may I use
I’m curious how many layers of clear / top coat you apply. I’m a beginner that hasn’t done custom painting yet, but looking at doing some panel lining and weathering with the basic Tamiya products.
Should I panel line the bare plastic, then clear, then weathering, then clear? Or is there a better process to layering?
Why is this video unlisted?
So I just started resin Gunpla, and my masking tape pulls
off Mecha and Tamiya acrylics... I sand, prep and prime
then paint. (I degreased the parts in purple power as well)
I feel like the issue is that I'm using a blue roll of 3M multi-
surface painters tape. I Ordered some Tamiya masking
tape but I don't know if that will fix the issue. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Don't think I can agree with you on just using 'any' masking tape. I used some automotive blue masking tape I use for painting cars..... it didn't want to stick to the piece I was trying to mask. So hopefully this Tamiya tape will fair better.
I only use an ordinary paper tape and a cheap spray cans the first time i customized my zaku and it was a mess HaHaHa. Poor me.
Thanks for the vid!
Hahaha well we all gotta learn from somewhere 😇😇😇
I love barbatos lupus rex
Have any suggestions for how to modify loose parts to keep them from moving around too much? Like the shoulder armor on wing zero custom for example?
woot2!
