Thanks for the kind words bro! Appreciate the support!

Glad to see you discover on your own why most builders cut out the parts they need as they go. You can get away with pre-cutting everything on a smaller model, but once you get into MG, RG, or PG territory that becomes a lot less practical. EDIT: oof, as soon as you said you used matte topcoat I knew exactly where this was going. The topcoat-before-liner tip is for GLOSS topcoat, not matte. The gloss coat gives you a smooth surface that wipes clean easily. What you did with the markers to finish lining the kit is a pretty common alternative to liquid panel liner, and one that a lot of people prefer since there's no risk of damaging the plastic, even without a topcoat.

Good thing i use cheap 0.03 + 0.05 snowman drawing marker from the very first time i build my gunpla because i don't really like how freaking expensive the gundam/tamiya panel line pour type is. And when i was about to buy it, i stumbled upon a panel line guide video explained that the liquid used in the pour type is dangerous for the kit's plastic without top coat.

Accidents happen to all of us from time to time, especially when we're picking up new skills. When I first started, last year, I cut into a piece I didn't mean to. It didn't result in the kind of cleanup pain you had to go through, of course, but still. Frustrating. Anyway, if you decide to later, you can absolutely just topcoat over the matte with a gloss coat so you can get that panel lining. The kit is definitely not ruined. But even without panel lines, the kit looks great and your hard work shows through. Also, I notice you upped your pose game. Barbie looks ready to deliver a massive beatdown. All in all, great job!

Also there are a few different kinds of panel liners, I usually use Mr hobbies Gundam panel lining markers, there are videos comparing them to the Tamiya panel liner online, I haven't been able to see Tamiya panel lines in person yet so I don't know which one's better.

Just a suggestion for building, on your little container, you can still use it even for larger kits with many parts, but you should use each slot per limb, like for example, one slot would be for the head, one slot for the torso, one for the right arm, one for the left arm, so on and so forth.

Great video as always! Also you should get yourself a Gundam panel line marker for such situations. As for myself, when i finish building one part or two, i'd panel line, apply decals and top coat right away (especially for MG ver.Ka kits since they have tons of water slide decals). This would keep me not getting bored from just doing one task for a long time and also if i get mistakes on one part, i can learn from it and do better on the other one, preventing me from messing the whole kit.

Thankfully most mistakes are fixable and the ones that aren't can be a great start for a custom kit. It's just a lot of extra time and and patience. Whenever you get back around to Barbatos there are a lot of cool upgrade kits for it available if you want to go even further than panel lining and decals. Bandai released an expansion kit through their P-Bandai service that let's you change it's armor/weapon loadouts to the others it gets in the anime, and a few 3rd party companies have made pre-wired LED kits for it as well!

Easy fix. Take it apart, throw the parts into some hobby thinner (mr color thinner for example). The hardware store thinner, while cheap is too hot and can potentially melt the plastic. Hobby thinners are perfectly safe. Leave it at least half a day and the paint can easily be wiped off. I personally dip an old toothbrush into the thinner and go over the part to allow the bristles to reach the recesses. What I do is I take the parts out of the thinner one by one, quickly scrub with the toothbrush, then put that piece into a bowl of water. This prevents left over thinner from drying and leaving any residue paint/top coat on the part while you work through the rest of the parts. What's left to do is rinse the parts thoroughly. Let them dry and do what you will with them.

Don't let yourself get too hung up on your mistakes, everyone makes them all the time with Gunpla, its a part of the process. I've been doing this hobby for years and still make lots of mistakes that can takes ages to fix ^^; For your issue like you realised, you cant really do panel liner on a matte top coat as the matte finish sucks up all the ink. I'd suggest one of two options: 1. Take off all the coloured armour pieces (use a part seperator) and soak them in a solvent to remove the top coat and leave you with bare plastic, then you can top coat with a gloss finish top coat, do your panelining and then do decals and matte top coat to finish 2. Just place a new layer of gloss top coat overtop of the matte one, will make the plastic smooth and able to be detailed again. another idea would be to use a dry panel liner (looks kinda like a graphite pencil) to do your panel lines, as this wont run, but wont look as nice as liquid. Keep up the amazing work! If I can give a kit recommendation I'd suggest the MG Gundam Dynames as your next build, super nice kit.

Master Grades huh...it took me 2 days straight to build my first MG which is Banshee Norn (this kit got like 23 runners). I don't even want to think how long will it take for me to build a Perfect Grade (PG). Edit: there is an easier way to build MG Barbatos which is build it's inner frames first and then put the armor later. Honestly, MG Barbatos didn't really need to be top coated or panel lined to look great.

1:20 wait till he gets to build, well any VER.Ka kit but especially kits like the nu-Gundam or sazabi. Sazabi was double digits runners if my memory serves me correctly

Next you need to build either the mg ver ka' sazabi or even a rg (real grade) sazabi and just a heads up would also like to see more assembly of the part in the video in real time

Thanks for the recommendations dude! Wouldn’t mind trying a longer form video where I discuss more real time building. Thanks for the idea!

Mistakes are part of the proccess, I fucked up my first MG as well, keep going! Now you just need to try your hand on RG (the newer ones, not the old ones) I would recommend either the epyon, nu gundam, hi-nu, sazabi or god gundam. The nus and sazabi specially because they're BIG for the 1/144 scale

@MaxWinstanley007

Thanks homie! The hat is osaka country club hat by birds of condor if you're interested. I used tamiya panel liner black. Think I still want to use it since it looked so good on the first build. Thanks again for the support bro!

If this ever happens again or you just don’t want to put a coat on the kit, get one of those cheap dip ink pens and Vallejo wash. It’s a cheap alternative that’s easy to clean up and it doesn’t eat plastic. It’s pretty good

Dont be so hard on yourself and learn from your mistakes, funny thing is ive been looking for a MG Barbatos but the only one ive picked up is the SD MG version and i have to say that after im done paneling and adding stickers ill be doing my review on it. Question does your Barbatos have an extra toe tilt cause the SD does

@MaxWinstanley007

@@MaxWinstanley007 im still on the hunt for Barbatos and rex but cant seem to find them anywhere

model building is about the journey not the destination and learning every step of the way we've all messed up kits or lost pieces all about learning from mistake. Form my own personal experience ive never had a problem using panel liner before top coat just have to make sure it doesnt puddle up and you ive it a chance for it to evaporate and not sit there and it being matt shouldn't matter for the first coat if you want to do it that way just sounds like your top coat was acrylic based and the panel liner was enamel but i could be wrong about that anyway different paints are made of different bases and they will react differently to each other

@MaxWinstanley007

3 ай бұрын

Extremely true. Yeah I know the panel liner is enamel based but didn’t check what the matte finish is. Probably why they didn’t mix well. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, I've built this one, made a mistake on one of the back leg things. I'd say this model was ok, I guess I'm not really into IBO.

Okay, maybe I'm blind coz I don't see anything wrong with the kit 🤣 Also, it should be gloss coat first before the panel accent then you'll do a matte. You can also apply the panel accent directly without the coat but make sure it will dry fast (use a fan) as it can break the part or make the it weak if it stayed stagnant for a long time.
