Yes it has. Masashi Hirose, the original voice of Mr. Ral and Ramba Ral from the OG Gundam, was hospitalised a month into recoding for an unspecified illness. Katsuhisa Hōki will be playing Mr. Ral for the rest of the series. They’d announced this weeks ago and I knew it was coming, but I must admit. I can’t tell the difference. I think this…[Read more]
Oh man that sucks I hope it all works out for him and for the episode itself I think the series is off to good start. Im just curious how they will work season 1 characters into the series as it progresses.
I couldn’t agree with you more! I hope they get the tournament over quick. I want to find more out about Reiji’s world, they can’t leave it unexplored!
It’s not working for me either I can post comments but not pictures I’m trying to put pics of my hi nu ver ka I just finished but its not working I can’t add picture in any group
With the big Gunpla releases for the year soon upon us we thought we’d try to put out some videos related to requests we have had from the viewers. Once such request is to talk about how to apply the water-slide […]
I am not replying to anyone, I wanted to post. I am new to this. Just finished a nightmare build of my first MG-Sazabi Ver. KA. Have you seen the decals for Sazabi Ver. Ka? It’s going to take longer to decal than to build. Their talking like the fin funnels are hard-give me a break. SVK has over 150 decals. I don’t want to do it… I’d rather build something!
Holy hell, thats a lot of time to spend on decals! Well worth it though, I’d hate to see someone ruin a nice chunk of a 90$ kit after messing up some decals. I can’t imagine messing up the last set of decals after finishing 11 beforehand- the lack of consistency would drive me insane.
That hi-nu.. no matter how many times i see it, it still looks super cool. Quick question for syd, have you ever built any custom parts like weapons or extra armor?
Kinda wondering if there will be another one of those limited parts for people who bought the first production run of the PG Unicorn. Also how hard would it be to airbrush those instead?
The Char’s Zaku has the Gundam 30th logo on it (which was part of the clear parts campaign) so if the winner is lucky they might be included , or they might have those clear parts left over if they bought the kit during the campaign.
Gundam: The Origin is still a few months from official release, but could Bandai have a new version of the Zaku II to match the version Yoshikazu Yashuhiko drew Char and the Black Tri-Stars piloting during the battle of Loum. And maybe a Guncannon head and EFF emblem to recreate the captured and jerry-rigged Cannon Zaku.
Nice episode. If I were to build this kit, I think I would go with airbrushing the funnels instead of the decals. Ryan you are very correct on films not having any soul anymore and worrying about visual quality. I have always wanted a gouf and wouldn’t mind winning.
Thanks for the water decal tutorial syd and ryan.. it help me a lot on my mg sazabi.. but i did screw up some water slides on my sinanju T.T
It is really hard to do.. can you give me a tip on how to do water decals on rounded edges? Tq
btw sazabi was my first try
And where’s rrobbert?
Sweet video guys I just finished doing the decals on my hi-nu yesterday, I just went with the tips of the funnels and the caution markings, and I got some ideas for them kits so here’s hoping I win , oh and I can’t wait to see that big, beastly unicorn this month ill have a tissue on hand for when I start drooling
It would be great sometime if you could show tips or tricks to help for when mistakes happen… like for example if one of the water slide decals starts to lift off after drying.
I depend on your insights and wisdoms as there aren’t too many gunpla builders here in Sweden.
nice episode and that a timely tutorial which I was planning putting decals on Nu Gundam funnels and weapons so that it will be finish and my sinanju is waiting for me. I’m gladly to have those MGs hehe. Good job and God Bless you both and the HLJ family.
Wow! i never knew that the Hi-Nu Ver.ka had a really hard water slide decals to put…because i don’t get one for myself yet!!! i really appreciate what Syd did on the show and tell us a trick of the decals!!!! And thank guy for a nice episode!!! can’t wait for episode 160….^^
Thanks for the waterslide tip Syd. No kidding when you brought up the patience of model building. I’ve learned from my errors when applying them with rush work
It’s good to see a tutorial on Water Slides for a change. The things have always been a pain in my side and it’s great to see how to exactly apply the things. Anyway, Come on: Zaku and Gouf. Must be my lucky day
Hi Ryan e Syd, thanks for the tutorial. The Hi-nu is one of my favorite design, sooner or later i will certainly build it and your advices will be definitely helpful =D
mates i do hope you guys are still christians and still believe on the essence the yuletide season (not yet but its coming pretty fast). i will appreciate it if i can get my early gift from you guys hahaha! Cheers! 😀
Nothing better than waking up on your day off and watching some gunpla tv 🙂
Thanks for the water slide tutorial now i may try to decal up my RG strike freedom
Hey guys, awesome episode as usual, but I have an urgent, important question! D:
Christmas is getting very close you see, and shipping from Japan to Ireland can take a while, so I have to figure out what kits I’m getting pretty early. My question is, are there any large differences between the MG Unicorn OVA Ver. and the HD Colour version apart from the MS Cage? Also, which is better, the MG Sinanju Ver. KA or the OVA Ver.?
Oh man, the work day cant go any faster whenever i see a new episode is up. Couldnt wait haha! Very nice to see the waterslide tuto! I’m building the Nu ver Ka and the decals dont look as complicated as the ones on this Hi Nu ver Ka. Great episode.
I’m a big fan of the early Zeon mono eye units with the exception of the zaku I. love the Zaku II, Gouf, Dom, Gelgoog.
Thanks for answering my question guys, I got to agree with you, those movies do need a bit more soul. I really want to make that Goku or should it be Zauf or Goza hmm?
Just placed a preorder for the PG Unicorn, now that it’s back up again. Waiting patiently for the LED set to come back (if at all). Also, Gouf is love, Gouf is life.
Great tutorial, Syd! I guess I have no more excuses to keep me from tackling water slide decals. I have a few MGs that are in need so of a few water slide decal treatment.
As for the Marvel movies coming out. I guess I am more like Ryan as I am sort of ‘meh’ to them all. With a touch of Syd. If people keep telling me to go see it, it will just make me not watch it.
Very nice guide! In regards to the giveaways, I wish Bandai would make an RG Gouf already (before I forget how to snap in the middle of a build)! Looking forward to the next episode!
I am glad to see this since I’m a newer viewer and it is nice to learn about water-slides. I would love to get the MGs. Since I got the 3.0 Gundam MG, it would be cool to get those and do some battle damage effects to make up for the lack of parts.
Great episode again. I haven’t done any decals on my kits yet because I’ve been afraid of messing up, but after watching this video helps understand what and what not to do.
Also, what do you guys do with all the extra promotional posters ater? should give those away, too. I wouldn’t mind myself some nice big gundam posters
That was intense, I never thought that waterslide decals take real time to properly put them on the right spots, maybe I should start small and simple and not complex and intricate
nonetheless, this episode was very informative for me 😀
Thank You HLJ for all the time and effort of these videos.
Just had my 10 months old son in induce coma for 9 days last month and if it wasn’t for these youtube video I for sure would have gone insane.
Keep up the good work.
Oh gods I want to kit bash what’s left of those 2 kits so much !
Very instructive tutorial on the water decals. I’m looking forward to trying those myself. I still did not buy a kit with water decals yet.
This made me think a a question. Any tricks on putting rub off decals on surfaces that are not flat ? I have a ton to put on my MG Wing and have no idea how I will manage that.
At work yesterday when my boss asked me what I was going to do for the work day I said live stream myself building a Perfect Grade, he was not drinking the koolaid. I envy your jobs, thanks for the great show!
If I win those kits, I’m going to bash them into a GOKU! Great episode as always, and thank you for the water slide decal tutorial. Also looking forward to more PG Unicorn info!!!
What did ever happen with the mallard Syd? Haha I suppose it’ll turn up on one of the episodes as a giveaway! Anyway, I really like the idea of giving a viewer the two kits to kitbash!
Really in-depth tutorial of the applying of water decals! This could really help a lot of people to get to the next level. Hoping to win the giveaway too!!
Gunpla got me my new job! Lol I went into my interview for sales position and had to explain my hobbies. I smiled and showed them my phone full of pictures of all the gunpla I’ve built. THEY LOVED THEM!! They thought it was the coolest thing EVAR!! Lol I spent two hours in the interview room just explaining how I built them and how much time end effort I put in to my builds. At the end of the interview they told me that my cubicle will have twice as many wall shelfs so I can display my Gundams proudly. Needless to say that was great day!
Great tutorial! I will definitely be using many of these tips when applying decals on my Sazabi ver. Ka. It’s too bad that Mr. Mark Setter/Softer are difficult to find at a reasonable price here in the US/Canada, but I did find decal setter and solvent solutions by a company called Microscale. I don’t know how well they perform though, but I’ll find out when I practice applying decals on some HG kits.
Another great episode guys. Keep it up. Also, Ryan, if you like crime and detective series, you should check out the Prey series by John Sanford. They’re really well done. Anyway, keep on keepin’ on.
Keep up the great work fellas, I must admit the decals for the funnels on the Hi Nu ver Ka look great, but I will probably just opt to paint them instead. Hope Syd does show a complete Hi Nu ver Ka with all the decals laid on.
Nice Tutorial on the Hi Nu decals. Water slides always seem daunting when you first deal with them for sure especially on rounded surfaces. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see the PG Unicorn.
Well for waterslides if you dont have mark setter you can just use vinegar (i use 1:1 ratio with water) in place of water. It works great both with Bandai and 3rd party decals (like Samuels). Works great even if the surface had been textured.
Nice to see that you are still doing tutorials. Waterslides can be a real pain in the ass, escpecially the big ones. But if done correctly, they look awesome.
Hey Syd and rayan great show today but i got a question. I’ve been building and collecting HG Gunpla for 6 years now and i have ben using nail clippers clean ones for my gunpla, do i need those gunpla nippers and sand paper to make them perfect? Also i hope i can win both those 2.0 MG babys that would be good for my first MG, even if their use MG and i can’t wait to see the next ep of gunpla TV.
Love the Hi-Nu and really wanna buy 1 for a custom build to stand next to my Gouf Blitz type, would love to built a 2.0 model, keep up the great work guys, can’t wait to see the finished product
Great tutorial guy and good episode, now i have more confident to apply my Hi Nu decal..Thank Guy looking forward to episode 1……6….0 !!!All Hail Syd and Brian
Sup guys? I love it when u do tutorials! How bout that zoid @syd how ur not spraying it on the runners like @ryan and the nutcracker that well never see.( Cough cough just like the mallard )lol how bout building another space ship on the show when starwars kits r released. Once more hope I win the mg Zion kit bash starter kit. Later guys
Watching Gunpla TV in between episodes of Zeta(I’m making my way through all of the UC in chronological order). I have to say I love the show, and it always keeps me up to date with this amazing hobby! Keep up the good work!
A good episode and example of how to put on decals.
I also wonder if I will ever win anything. Seems like others have this sceret that I dont know of.
I mean that one guy won 2 things in one week. Seems fixed to me. Lol.
I remember when I first found this show, I was looking for a let’s build for the PG Strike Freedom; which as you may have gleaned, is my favorite gundam! All i can really say is that my enthusiasm for gunpla has grown since that time and your show has to do something with that. i just can’t get enough of them. Ofc i’ve watched other similar shows, but it’s just not the same. 3 years ago I remember saving every bit I can from my competitively medium college allowance to buy gunpla, and when I do I’d make building it last as long as it possibly can, I squeeze every drop of fun I can from it. Nowadays while I can afford more, I have little time to actually build them :(. Watching every new episode as soon as i find them, watching a bit during lunch, watching the rest during breaks, your videos are all i got X_X
That is one helpful tutorial – thanks a lot for that!
I just got my hands on a Sazabi ver. Ka and building it right now. I am also planning to get a Hi-Nu ver. Ka next – but I will probably skip its water-slide decals as I will paint it with the original normal Nu color scheme as I find it a rather better color for any Nu Gundam.
Hope you guys keep up the good work on sharing info about J-PlaMo and more power to HLJ!
Awesome epic episode. Love your tutorials. To be honest I have been afraid to tackle these water slides as they will be my first attempt (I normally use dry transfers or just the Mg/Rg stickers) but after watching this I feel more confident. Thanks guys you rule!
I really should get a bottle of Micro sol or Mr Decal, after building the 55 Mazda 787b (next build of that car will be entirely airbrushed after those horrid green decals).
I have never bought a Zaku or a Gouf, although my interest in them has grown…Would be great to have both rolled into one.
Hmm, the Unicorn comes out on the 13th eh? That’s six days after my birthday! And the New 3DS comes out in just under two weeks! Oh man, get hype much! So many things, so little money… .-.
Just caught up on the last two episodes and so happy to see that I won a poster, yea!
Syd, seeing your Sazabi has really given me inspiration for one I’ve had assembled but not detailed yet. Was thinking of making my first attempt at battle damage but seeing your amazing work has given me some great ideas. thanks…
Speaking of ideas, how about you show us around HLJ some more. Like the recent decal show, we love to see around your workplace again. You guys have the gumpla geek’s dream job so show us what it’s really like.
Hi Syd, every time I use Water Slide Decals I always use the Mark Setter & Softer Combo. Can you explain more why you didn’t use it in your Tutorial today?
hey, does anybody know when the LED unit for the PG unicorn will go back up on preorder? Also who’s getting the PG unicorn? i might get it as a Christmas present.
Some people post links to their photo’s for the time being. However, there is a post in the Completed Models section about 17 hours old. It seems that the problem has been fixed
I just finished my 2 NG 1/144 SUMOs from Turn A Gundam. I want to show them off but I can’t upload them, so I’ll have to post a link. If I can unload more in the sure I will. This is only part 1 of my SUMO…[Read more]
Thanks mate.
There were two in the show, but I got two with the intention of repainting one yellow. But then a found a yellow one and bought it. I was going to do something with the extra white one but was too lazy.
You should watch Turn A. It’s very slow to start but once you give it a chance it’s a great series.
Hier mein fertiger MG Sinanju. Zusammengebaut ziemlich Hecklastig. Bisschen nervig waren die Spikes an den Schultern und diese verkabelungs Dingsis an der Hüfte. Das hielt…
Glaub viele Tipps kann ich da nicht geben. Der etwas abgenutzte Look kommt vom Preshading und durch das matte Finish.
Das Reverse Wash sollte man Stück für Stück machen, bzw. das ganze so Timen, das man zwischen dem Auftragen des Schwarz und dem runtenwaschen nicht allzuviel Zeit vergehen lässt.
1/100 MG QUIN MANTHA! is Bandai trying to tell us something in this episode… I would even take a HGUC of it. The SD battle was cute and was nice seeing the R35 in action again.
Hey, just had a crazy thought about the PG Unicorn that may get answered with this reveal but I was wondering… what if one of the things they did with this is have it to to where the LEDs can shift from the […]
This is soooo nice!! Awesome work man!!
Thanks first mg and when the armor done I’ll post that too
