This video is really general. So it's time for an in-depth video next week. But which would be it? Airbrush? Spraycan? Let me know below! :)
Can you do a hand brushing one too? Im trying to improve but cant find one guide on yt
@@TuanNguyen-dd5cm hey, I'm in same boat, look up diy air brush on YT. But nice to see what you could do with acrylic paints.
Allot of table top gaming miniature painting techniques work for gunpla just bigger scale. *Miniac* is my favorite mini painting TH-camrs. He has very good tutorials!!
Spray can! No air brush D:
Byebye!!!!!!😂😂😂
Where did you say to add you???
This guy can answer those question we builders often ask.
You are the first person I've ever seen actually put a mix ratio for paint. Most people say you want it to look a certain way... Thank you for putting it out there.
My resolution for 2021 is finally getting into Gunpla as a hobby, here we go!
How is your Gunpla journey going?
@@judgewarhol3922 Pretty okay actually! I got started with an RX-78-2 and then got two different Zaku models plus a Zeonic Sword!
I actually got two RX-78-2s right off the bat and I want to customize one of them with some paint!
Same here! Good luck to you, just finished my infinite justice Gundam and I'm excited to get into painting!
@@DocDoesGamingYT I would start my journey with a "fg zaku II". It's the perfect canvas to paint on. At just $5, it's a great way to practice. If you mess up no worries since it's so cheap. I would not buy it from Amazon they sell them at $10-$15 a piece. Plenty of online hobby shops sell them. Buy it in bulk (3-5 sets) so that you can offset the flat rate shipping cost.
@@csmit04 That's exactly what I got, the MS-06S and MS06F FG Zaku! I'm also very privileged since I'm living in East Asia, so I can just walk into a store and buy gunpla haha
Tip 1. When you are cleaning your airbrush, increase the air pressure by ten to fifteen psi. Tip 2.use lint free scientific tissue wet with thinner to clean the inside of your paint cup and the outside of airbrush. 3. A 1:2 ratio of paint to thinner will help you achieve candy paint( and is my go to ratio in general) 4.apply photo etch parts with glue before you paint to ensure a strong hold( most hobby glues eat paint). 5. Use an explosion proof exhaust fan when painting with lacquer because the fumes are flammable( the fan is usually more powerful as well and will keep your environment fume free). 6. The distance you hold your part away from the spray will change the texture of the finished paint 7. Use a moisture trap as water will cause a splatter effect and ruin your finish( I do my painting near a fish tank so I use one on my tank and my gun) 8. Make sure you use the rapid drying thinner for metallic colors or the metal flakes will sink into the paint and effect the metallic look 9. Always use the slower drying thinner for non-metallic colors to ensure a perfect finish 10. Always use a static free brush on your parts to get rid of the static electric buildup from sanding that will attract dust to your paint job
I've recently (almost) finished a custom paint of the GM Sniper II, using spray cans by Mr Hobby.
To give a bit more details, one spray can is (at my shop) a bit two times more expensive than the same color in a pot (almost 3 euros for a pot of paint and almost 8 euros for the spray can).
There are a lot less colors for spray can than for regular paint.
And my main concern with spray cans is how quickly they get empty. Espcially for primer, it took me two cans of primer to achieve the robot and shield (haven't done its weapons yet), and I only did one coat. It seems to me that spray cans are less durable than thinned paint from what I've seen.
So yeah, Studio G is right, plan your color scheme people, don't rush as I did, or you'll lose time, effort and money (at least you get to learn the hard way).
And as for the finnished result : I'm really satisfied with spray cans. Nothing to complain about.
Funny thing is because I stated my gunpla hobby, I also got better at doing projects at my school like diorama and illustrations. So I am thankful for Studio G for helping me decide on buying my own airbrush set. Nice video btw
This is a massive help. seriously man.
Thanks bro! 😊😊😊
I’ve only built kits as they were before and just got interested recently in making customs. This video was really helpful in giving info on what I should know before starting to paint~ 🤗👍
In regards to the airbrushing you can find a portable one for $50, it's a set that comes with the airbrush and a battery pack/portable compressor that's really good for practicing before committing to those really high end ones. Had mine for about two weeks and really love it.
Dude, I'm a new Gunpla builder and your videos have been inspiring and helpful. Thank you SO much for putting the work in on this.
No problem at all bro! 😊 have fun building! 😊
@@StudioGundam
Yeah, Justin...
After watching this one tutorial video: Airbrush > Spraycans (yet this is the best option on painting your gunpla...🎨)
@@StudioGundam
Well then, *I've been subscribed to you on this Tuesday evening yet...😁!*
I've recently gotten back into building kits. I haven't scribed or painted anything yet but really inspired by this guy to get started!
6:48 my guy, praying is one of the most crucial part of the process, you need god’s help to make sure you don’t mess up 😂
Totally true ma man.
Please do a more in depth video on both options. I’m new to gunpla and love your work. But as i am new I’m still catching up on your work but I’m in love with the IBO set your doing. Keep on doing your best work. It really shows that you love what you do!!
Based on my experience with the airbrush, I recommend evacuating the pot with water before you put airbrush cleaner through your airbrush. A toothbrush soaked in airbrush cleaner is your friend, especially when spraying bright acrylic paints. If your airbrush starts to spatter when you spray, take the toothbrush and gently scrub the tip of the airbrush, give it a blast of air, then give it a test on something expendable. if it's still spattering loosen the chuck on the needle back the needle out just a bit and give it a blast of air (might want to turn the pressure up) and any chunks that may have accumulated in the brass tip should come flying out. Reseat the needle, gently scrub the tip of your airbrush and repeat the test. Other things to consider are using airbrush flow improver instead of thinner. Vellejo thinner has a tendency to speed up drying time, whereas Vellejo flow improver slows down drying time. Also, keep in mind that some airbrush cleaner might have some fumes. Vellejo airbrush cleaner is pretty mild in terms of the smell and does good work without over powering you.
That is some amazing tip! I didn't know that and thank you so much and your tip might just be mentioned in the future videos! 😊😊 thank you so much!
@@StudioGundam Look up Next Level Painting on youtube, Kenny mostly paints Warhammer miniatures but his videos on how to troubleshoot issues with the airbrush are super helpful. Most of my experience comes from getting nonairbrush Vellejo paints and P3 acrylics to run through the airbrush so my advice might not be as helpful for someone that is using enamel or lacquer based paints.
Amazing channel. Have to learn stuff before my first kit arrives :D
It's the MG Barbatos
Its like a floating head teaching us how to use airbrush and spraycans haha...
Thank you for this video. I’ve been just putting gunpla together and just shelving them but I want to start customizing. This is very helpful
Now THIS is why I'm subscribed, nice straight to the point tutorials and cool customs.
Thanks!
Hey I just started doing Gunpla and i just want to thank you for these videos
Recovering from surgery and have been watching your videos. Seriously enjoy these. This one was eye-opening… I tried my hand years ago at painting, but I tried just on the go. I learned so much just in this video about what mistakes I was making. I think I’m going to try to get into it again. 👍🏻😁
I really really need this for I will try airbrushing soon, thanks for the Tuts!
Thanks for this video. Been looking into start painting my kits but didn't know where to start.
awesome!! I can't wait for the more in depth video next week , keep safe!! great work!
Thank you for the video, it was very useful. Hope you will pump out more detailed guides like this
Yesssss. Finallyyyyy. THanks you so much. I love this video so much. Please make more videos about painting
just over 3 years you become a grandmaster in gunpla custom and painting, insane bro !!!
Fantastic video as always!🔥
Thank you ffor this general guide!
Thanks man. Really helpful video. 👍💯
Good job. Nicely done and Well said. I just got back on the hobby again. This helped.
Thank you very much studio G... I've learned a lot. Very well explained.
You're welcome!
Great video! Best way I can describe AB vs SprayCan is that SprayCan is like an automatic vehicle, while AirBrushing is like driving a manual. Also, I’ve found that spray canning leaves A LOT of overspray that doesn’t reach the model, (due to distance) making it a bit less efficient. Both are great options however!
I just found your channel last week these videos are amazing, your video quality is great thanks for the info
You're super welcome!
Thank you for this video. Very inspiring.
very helpful, an he was very humble person, what a men
This was excellent. 🙏🏼
Very good video, sure that it will help some guys
Really helpful video thank you! I am a complete noob so found this very informative!
Another great video. Thank you.
Great video sir! It really helps for beginners. Looking forward for more tutorial vids. Keep it up! 💪
Thank you Justin! 😊😊😊
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I'm a beguiner whith airbrush, and all your tips will be usefull.
I'm a french fan of your work. What you do is just amazing!👏👏👏❤
Awesome video...thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks bro, i learned a lot from this video.
Hmm how about top coatings and avoiding scrathes after paint.
I just bought some gunmetal Gpaint can’t wait to use it.
You have gained a new subscriber!
Thanks for sharing. Good Explanation.
This video has a lot of useful tips. I’m looking to start trying out painting some of my kits to build up to working on some GK resin kits. Cuz it looks like it can be a lot of fun and I really want to start doing more with my models these days.
Zup Justin, thanks for the video. Would love to see more videos on airbrush and mixing paint 😎👍🏼
Perfect skill
Um ótimo video Justin, keep teaching mate!
Hahahaha I don't understand but I know it's a compliment! 😂😂so thank you bro!
Thx for the tips~
I love Tutorial Tuesdays.
Me too! 😀😀😀
Thanks. It's good video for beginners, cuz it's short & sweet, unlike some other videos are too lengthy and mixing info for advanced users.
Great tutorial bro.
Thanks for a very informative video. I've been spraycan painting for a while, and thought that I'm on the cusp of graduating to airbrushing (mainly for the benefit of having more options on mixing custom colours). However, I'd love to see what's the true limitation of spraycans, so perhaps a spraycan tutorial before I formally graduate? Thank you. In the end, love to see either (cans or airbrush).
This video was very helpful. I'm new to building Gunpla but already want to customize. Airbrush is a goal for the future but I think it would be best to start with spray paint. Thank you!
very details explanation! thank you!
Very welcome!
Great explanation 👏👏
Thank you!
Wow super helpful video-would like to see more like this
Definitely more coming next week 😊
thanks for the tip sir. im currently working on my tthongli gunpla. im painting on it using spray can. thanks a lot.
SprayCan it's about speed !
Always loved gunpla as a baby *getting old now* and figured that just picking it up after 15 years and putting together was not enough. I wanted a bam of colour on them. Default is cool and all but i want a personal spin. This helped me confirm what steps needed and thanks so much for it
Tho i got a question idk if you see this but how would you keep the paint…uh fresh? Vivid? For a longer period
For base/undercoat colors I buy large spray cans and decant to jars for airbrush. Already a thinned paint.
I started with airbrush. It is quite expensive. I use lacquer base paints, Gaianotes are my favorite. I use some alclad paints every now and then. I am in the process of mixing my paints with the right amount of thinner. It was a pain to get the proper twist top squeeze bottles that work. A lot of the paints will take about 2-3 weeks to get to you, so doing all of your panel lines and adding the extras might keep you busy untill they arrive. It was a learning curve, however it has been worth it. Thank you so much for making these vids.
Thank you for motivating me to airbrush
This video is very helpful for those who want to start painting kits. I want to know more about spray can painting
thank you sir for this I'm ignorant when comes to primer, thinner, etc.
Both, but specially air brush. Btw love your videos bro. 🙌💪
I haven't painted for a long time and i lost my confidence a bit. But this vid helps me a lot. Thanks
thanks mate
Can you do a detailed guide on spraycan painting? Thank you!!
Thanks G! Nice information shared especially for airbrush newbs like me (actually started with a siphon, and have upgraded to a gravity one - which is on its way)
Siphon is hard, I've never used them before only gravity. Gravity is still the easiest to master in my opinion :) I'm excited for you bro! 😊😊
@@StudioGundam siphons are a pain. I learned the hard way!
Especially during color switch right? Damn but experience is priceless :)
@@StudioGundam oh, bro you have no idea!!!! Clean out the cups and the brush chamber all the time!!! Plus wasted paint!!! GAH!!! But yes eXP is invaluable!
I know I'm going to necro an old video by saying this but, you absolutely can control the flow of paint from a compressed can. Anyone who's ever tagged will know this. Remove the nozzle, use your finger. It's not something that can be picked up overnight and takes a boatload of practice but it's 100% possible. Airbrush is training wheels. Well...and less messy lol
Man, these tutorials are great. I've been in the hobby for a couple of years now but its nice to learn techniques from fellow builders.
Great video !!
could you do a video about spraycans with an example kit maybe
Definitely yes 😊
I started airbrushing not long ago and I am already doing wery good. I think airbrushing is easy if you have the right airbrush that works for you.
Very epic im early!
Hey man great video! Thank you. I actually want to get into painting, and 'm more inclined to airbrush (maybe do to the control that you have over it) but probably will start with spray cans... like just to start haha
I think you should do a 2-part video series. 1st video: Spray Cans; 2nd video: Airbrush. :D
Thanks for suggestion! Definitely will look into that and the best thing you can is just start :D
Thanks for the advice. For Spray canning, what brand do you recommend. I’m either going for Tayima or Mr. Hobby.
I'd like to know as much as I can on air brushing. I'm a newbie to gunpla. But I've already put together 20 hg, 3 rg and 3 mg... I really want to start customizing and I really enjoy your channel most of everyone when it comes to painting. Your film skills are really good too. Thanks
i think it would be a good idea to do both spray can and airbrush painting
pre-shading is an either-or thing with rattlecans, spray paint is generally very opaque so you're either using them exclusively to shade when priming, or you're just not shading with it at all. if you want to pre-shade with rattlecans you do it just to set up values, then you smooth out the transitions with a brush and then glaze on thin layers of transparent paint - also with a brush. this takes a very long time with small figures, I cannot imagine doing it on a gundam, lol
really helpful! thanks for this! I just wanna ask one thing; if I wanna paint a kit with gold coat like phenex, do I need to sand it first or not?
if you put a bucket with water next to your airbrush. You can put your airbrush into the water. Flush it, dry it and your good to go
I love you're hair
Brush painting for the next tutorial pls🙇🏻♂️
Hi, I'm a huge fan of your channel. I'd like to see more tips and details of spray-painting. Because I'm a beginner at spray-painting and I experienced stuff like the part becomes thick after paint so I had problems reassemble the parts back together. Also sometimes the spray just comes out really bad and turns out the can is almost empty. Stuff like those. Looking forward to your tips! Thanks!
Thank you! Definitely will next video! 😊
New to this game and the first mistake I’ve made was buying cheap portable air brush:(. So now I’m is a rabbit whole trying to learn from people like you! I subscribe and hopefully I can master air brushing thanks for the info
Whats wrong with the portable airbrush? I'm looking to get one actually
Really great videos!!! May I ask, which app are you using to plan your paintwork? I've seen some clips where you use your tablet in the planning stage... any recommendations??
Zenathol primers are about the only way I could think of pre shading I don’t know how that would work on Gunpla though, it works great on miniatures like Warhammer AoS/40K though.
How many clear coats do you apply on a build?
Just started my first custom paint job on a 1/100 Barbatos. Do I seal with clear gloss before panel line and then finish with matte? Or skip the clear gloss and panel line directly onto fresh paint? Also, what thinner should I use to clean up after panel line if I used a lacquer gloss?
Love the videos, keeps inspiring me to do better!!
How about Top Coating?
What a good video bro, one doubt i hace with the airbrush cleaners, the Vallejo cleaner works with Tamiya or mr.hobby paints? Or it's only works with acrylic paints? Thnks
Detailed airbrushing tutorial pls 🙏🏼
Hello Studio G, i like your tipps and trick. Just one question: i want to do detail painting on innerframe from mg barbatos (like the energy cabel). Should i do it directly or i have to apply primer?
thanks for helping me choose, can or airbrush. I chose an airbrush.
Gret Video bro!!
Thanks!!!
Can you do tutorial on the difference between top coats
