So if MG is 1/100 and hg is 1/144, and it took ZakuAurelius 2 years to finish the tristan, that means it will take 2/144*100+2 = 3.4 years to complete the MG custom tristan.
I hate to be that guy, but how do you go about masking HG eyes or really any detail that small? I suppose you could do a reverse wash on ones that have the raised detail for the eyes, but what about the ones that don't?
Been a fan of Gundam for years and just started collecting gunpla this 2016, I really get motivated watching you do modification and others with Gunpla, I hope that someday I can can use the techniques I learned from you.
Careful using your teeth..... I was drunk gunpla'ing one night, building one of the MG Zaku 2.0s, put something on the wrong way and used my teeth to pull off a polycap (the one that connects the wrist armor) and ended up swallowing it... Of course that's one of the ones that is ONLY in that kit and AFAIK the polycap runner was never used on any other kits that didn't use it, so no spares laying around anywhere. Fortunately that was during the days when it was quick and easy to order parts from genteikits so was able to get a replacement
Question Regarding Tamiya Extra Thin. Hows the ventilation in your work space? Are you using some kind of fan/vent? I'm not sure what the air flow is like in my house, but the last time I worked with tamiya, I got a headache pretty quick. I'm worried I'm gonna get stuck only being able to do any kind of paint or customizing in the spring D:
If you have a spray booth for airbrushing you could work in there, or set one up for pretty cheap. If the headaches are from fumes from leaving the bottle uncapped for use tamiya also makes glue PENS with the regular and extra thin cement in them. I wouldn't suggest them for large applications but seams and small to mid size mods they work great, might have to look around for them online, my local hobby store had them one day and I got a pair to try.
@@TabrisTheFallenI'm not really in a situation to use an airbrush, or a booth at the moment. Thats why I'm worried I'll have to wait till spring. I generally put the lid back on like the instant I'm done applying, I was thinking its the air flow, or I'm just a little more susceptible to the fumes. Might be easier for me to get a respirator lmao
Sup Zaku, Nice, it’s coming out very cool, learning lot of modifications techniques, I don’t know much about the extra parts, but I think you go by the type of kit you’re modifying such as an RG or HG but it also looks as there’s extra parts for specific gundams, great video bro thanks!
+Gary Unwin it's really good, gameplay, graphics, and soundtrack are all amazing. Just really easy compared to 2 Final Mix and story is a little underwhelming but I just expected too much in some regards, still got really emotional in the end game which is no doubt the best part of the game. Not for everyone of course though.
hope there is not too much things going on that may affect the articulation which is the point that you came up earlier, improving the Tristan's joints.
Love this project. Modding is a lot more doable then i thought. I think i would have tried to mount the missile pack in between the beam swords leaned back a little.
I like how this has shifted from "Let's do the Tristan but more appealing" to "Zero fucks given, I'mma scratchbuild the shit out of this thing."
Yeah it’s pretty much something entirely different now
Looking great
Oh man, kirin. You have good tastes as well as good sense of criticism.
11:47
Zak: "that is, I think pretty much it for the episode-"
me: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"😭😭😭
It's back!
It's bacc
My day was the worst but seeing this made it better

Reverse wash, or just hand paint them. I never mask eyes
2 years project
Wooooooo Tristan
If you were ever to make an MG of this with much more detail, you should call it "Ver. Za"
Ver. Zach, very genius!

Great additions Zach. Liking he backpack! 😁👍
This should be your GBWC entry.
Very nice mods man, looking forward to more of it.
One suggestion,
Is it possible for you to paint it in thunderbolt colours cause it looks cool.
i... for some reason agree when looking at the kit by now
agree
I agree
Can I post my W.I.P. here? I mean, I just working on Customizing Tristan too and found many tricks to work with this guy.

I thought... you were going to use the backdoor, thanks god you didn't...
Just get a turd sifter
F
What the hell? Bro.. Be careful next time
How the heck are you Alive?
The greatest series on TH-cam continues...
Very epic, thanks Zach

I’m really excited to see this completed.
You and me both!

why not make it like a mirv or multi raining missle/mortar like missle that scatters shrapnel in the air like a flak or anti ground unit
soooo I really want this kit lol
Cant wait for the final touch
This Tristan is gonna be the end all be all Gunpla
When you're more hyped for a gunpla tutorial then the release of Kingdom Hearts 3
Tbh kingdom hearts 3 looks terrible imo
@Gary Unwin that is the first negative comment I’ve ever seen for KH3. I thought everyone loved the game to death.
Nah I already saw gunpla labs finish a Tristan (and in a timely manner) I’m more hype for kh3

Hey zak! Would it be possibly to paint some parts in digital camo? I haven’t seen anyone do it properly
Is it still worth it?
hope there is not too much things going on that may affect the articulation which is the point that you came up earlier, improving the Tristan's joints.
Man is looking amazing. I'm curious, what are you going to do with the back part of the missile launcher? I noticed is "empty"
looks like a blast impulse backpack'
you should film the painting, even if there is no commentary. maybe a sped up painting part would be nice to see.
Awesome!
I was kinda surprised that you still had the eye sticker on lol
Whats the name and company who made the ball and socket option parts thing?
It's a Bandai Build Fighters option set. Ballden Arm Arms.
👏👏Tristan Time!!!
Oh wow you weren't finished with this? I feel like you've been working on this guy for a while. I actually kind of forgot to keep checking up on him
you should have waited for April 1st
FINALLY
You really need to cut and make those 2 beam cannons a little shorter. They are WAYYYY to long for the size of everything else.
I WAS LITERALLY RE-WATCHING THESE VIDEOS OF YOURS ABOUT MINUTES AGO. What kind of sorcery is that?
Zeka [whispering] coincidence
OH MY GAH!!!!!!
Got em
Paint it the colors of the kirin on your drink there
Love this project. Modding is a lot more doable then i thought. I think i would have tried to mount the missile pack in between the beam swords leaned back a little.
not even finish but i want to buy it already haha
in tristan we trust :)
You ever try photo etch parts for vents?
Finallyyy
Ahhh, that’s hot, that’s real hot
Insert Trista... Oh wait
ey
*Tristan meme*
Well, better job than Bandai, for sure.
FIRST!
