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! :)

[ninjabeans]

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!

This guy can answer those question we builders often ask.

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

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.

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.

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 😂

[themeatpopsicle]

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.

[slavsmith]

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!!

[thebrojas]

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!

[havocsurge]

Amazing channel. Have to learn stuff before my first kit arrives :D
It's the MG Barbatos

[Lastlineshow]

This is a massive help. seriously man.

[ArmorStudioNYC]

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!

[bongkem]

just over 3 years you become a grandmaster in gunpla custom and painting, insane bro !!!

[heilbronnweb]

Hey I just started doing Gunpla and i just want to thank you for these videos

[lukepenn]

Now THIS is why I'm subscribed, nice straight to the point tutorials and cool customs.

[blackensand]

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
