How to build: Gunpla 1/144_01

[airheadkevin]

why are u called the Z.O.H. Bros. if one of u is a girl?

[ZOHtube]

@airheadkevin:

We use bros for a quick abbreviation...anyway, one sister and one brother or two brothers...It's the same. ^^

[airheadkevin]

@ZOHtube lol

[commandervulkan]

Hygogg nice choice. I love the Zeon aquatic mobile suits. Acguy being my favorite

[elgamerhat]

how do ppl make gundam action figures do they sculpt them .... please answer

[ZOHtube]

Sorry, I didn't understand your question...

[myspacesuck667]

how many vids r u going to ask the same ?s

[ant1ph0n]

how do they make the molds???

i'm sure they can do either of these, i don't know myself but here's some guesses:

they sculpt them out of clay/resin/whatever you can manipulate easily with a scribing tool/blade

or they render it on a 3d program and use a 3d printer to test out the parts (i'm more inclined with this method because it is more precise especially with scaling and exact measurements to make it true to the gundam universe)

then they use injection molding.

just look it up i suppose

[SeraphimDS]

Well I think i take this Vid into my Favs cause its very good to study many tricks when a Newbie will start with this passion like me =)

5 Stars & 1 Fan more =D

[ZOHtube]

Thanks so much! We hope to add more tutorial video for all fans! :)

[chetario]

Why do you widen the slots (I think) with that slender tool?

[ZOHtube]

Because this is a assembling as preparation for the painting work. So the kit will be divided another time to glue all parts and, if the slots are wider, it will be more easy to open the pieces without breaking.

[ZOHtube]

Thanks to all!

@ Junnie: Ehm...Yes! The nippers are those for nails! They work very well.

For the modelling exist also smaller, such as those for electrician...

but everybody adapt oneself as best as could. ;)

[speedwing20]

Man your really greater than me lol....good job

[junnie2323]

Hey you know those "Nippers" your using there those are for the nails right? Lol if it is i use the same one XD

[shadowconuk]

I have just ordered a 1/60 PG Wing Zero, not the pearl version as i think it looks tacky. should be delivered in 2 days i can wait. im a pro modeler however your vids are great! gave me some really useful tips

[rthdshtr]

yoo, u should of gotten master grade wing zero...i thought about buying pg, but i got mg instead.

PG zero is a 1998 kit, it has ALOT of problems...the feather tips tend to be out of shape after a while, buster rifles too heavy, and cant really support the "final shot pose" the joints for the wings are horribly designed, etc.

the 2004 mg zero fixes alor of the problems with the pg, althought not as detailed. the MG also has feathers the PG dont, like manually openable wings, all 4 of them

[ihateyouhateyou]

wow you use gloves o.0

[ZOHtube]

Not really... ^^" It is only a choice for a better video return.

[noodycrunch]

how about bb gundams i use too build bb gundams..and my main problem is how to paint white the black colors!!thx^^

[sadalsuud93]

can i use any hardware tools?

[mokanaman]

I use a bench drill, bench grinder and dremal. Answer yes...

[pancakeanimation]

you think i should build the 1/100 models instead of the 1/144 because their bigger and easier to paint?

[ZOHtube]

The 1/144 are easier to build and you will have less pieces to paint. The 1/100 is bigger, but harder for a beginner, above all MG kit (master grade). We suggest to make practice with some economic and small kit, then 1/100 HG and at the end you could try a 1/100 MG. Good work. Bye. ;)

[UTTO05]

Thankyou Again You're the best!!

[pancakeanimation]

can you list down all the tools u used again, please

[ZOHtube]

They are common tools for plastic models such as nipper, knife cutter and some types of files. Look for "tools" on the web site hobby link japan (write this name on google and you will find this shop online) , check above all brand Tamiya. In our video we use economic tools available also in the hardwares shop, but it is better to use specific tools for modelling.

[freeFTW]

ohhhh dammmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!

[freeFTW]

do u ever get the problem where pieces dont connect as well later on then when you connected them the very first time know how to fix?

[ZOHtube]

I have never had a similar problem with the gunpla kit. It can happen indeed on some resin kit or very old injection kit.

However it can be resolved eliminating the pivots of hookup and gluing the two parts freely overlapping them by hand. If also in this way the problem remains, it must be used the putty.

[freeFTW]

wow perfecting models can be really complicated

[ZOHtube]

Sure, It needs very much patience! ;)

[JusticeLeagueofEvil]

thanks you're relly helpful

[ZOHtube]

Thanks to you for the visit. ;)

[freeFTW]

about how many master grades have you built

[ZOHtube]

In total until now about 20 MG and 20 HGUC, but We have so many others of these in box.

[freeFTW]

could you use any sandpaper to sand away nip marks?

[ZOHtube]

Yes and also the knife cutter with caution.

[coji16104]

C.S.I and gundam a perfect combination C.S.I kicks ass and gundam rules!

[ZOHtube]

Ha! ha! Ha! ^^"

[topsyturvy84]

i love watching all your videos.. anyway,i've got a qns.I noticed u used a file to sand away the nip marks,will i have scratched parts after filing,as i don't intend to paint it.

[ZOHtube]

Thanks a lot!

Yes, I use the file because after this I always paint the model.

If you don't want to paint, you should not use the file, but to be the most precise possible during the building. If the plastics is scratched, some products exist for polishing it (for example the Tamiya Compound)...

However, it is difficult to reach a perfect result...or you leave the sign of the cut plastics or risks to leave some scratch unfortunately...

[streetsofrage123]

finally a good tutorial that we can see

[ZOHtube]

THANKS!!! This is a first try. We also will make others for a better quality and view. ;)

[papitodo]

Dude i think what you are doing is great. Keep up the Good work

[ZOHtube]

It's only a simple building...However thanks a lot! ^__^

[countpopxenon]

boy,u sure r adorable cos u replied every single comment we posted.

[ZOHtube]

Thanks! We are very happy when a new comment arrive, so we are glad to answer to everyone. ^__^

[countpopxenon]

cool!u insert the song from c.s.i(sort of)while u r going to make some 'operation',lol!cool model though.i'm gonna have 1 of those.

[ZOHtube]

C.S.I. rules!!! ^__^

[zorahk270]

It's good.

Some problems:

Don't wear gloves, they'll make your hands sweaty and you could slip.

Your snippers are far too large, get new ones.

Don't sand without painting, you'll notice that it won't shine anymore. If you don't want to paint, simply cut the part you want and use an x - acto knife to remove the left over nub

[ZOHtube]

Hi! Thanks! ;)

For the problems:

- Don't worry, I never wear the gloves, this is been only an aesthetic choice (I don't love my hands)...

- The clippers aren't so large, they are for the manicure...Maybe the video deceive...I can cut very well, also the little details.

- You are right, do not use the file without the purpose of painting after! I did it because I paint always my gunpla kit completely.

Bye! :) Jackie.

[fritz160]

holy christ hyogg looks like alot of work. i hope my gm cold type that im getting is easier

[ZOHtube]

Hi. The Hygogg is not an hard work to build, it is just an HGUC kit (1/144 scale). The hard work begins with some Master Grade kit (1/100) and absolutely with Perfect Grade (1/60) suitable for only a skilled experience. Anyway the GM kit is the same (or could be more easy) than hygogg, You don't worry. Bye! ;)

[kalmNL]

thinx for showing how to build clear

[ZOHtube]

Thanks for Your nice comment! :)

[finger122]
