Thanks!  Awesome techniques are described. A mandatory video for new scribers.

For some reason, I'm seeing a painted floppy disk, maybe it's my age 😅

If dealing with warhammer miniatures has taught me anything, its that mistakes = battle damage

Breaking down techniques like this into simple exercises is incredible. It helps to teach these ideas without being overwhelmed by other steps involved in building a kit, or worrying that you're going to ruin a kit you want to look good

I don't do Gunpla but much respect for this video.  The craftsmanship is excellent.  This is a great demonstration/exercise.

Practicing on a plastic plate sounds like an incredibly good idea. I wish I could do that, but plastic plates are difficult to find in my country :(

Waitttttt I didnt know you could put cement over the lines to make the lines look cleaner! That’s a great technique! Whaaaaaaat?!

8:45 That's a cool looking floppy disk right there!

That is such a great idea! I have this book on panel line techniques from Gundam Pro Factory that I bought years ago, but never used because I was afraid to mess up my kits. The thought of using a square piece of pla plate never even occurred to me. That's genius! Thank you. Would love to see the technique video for the scratch build.

Just a friendly reminder to people using cutting tools to wear a safety glove.
You're better off scratching a garden glove than your hand, but it probably won't make a difference if you take a direct stab. 🤕🩸🖐
Also try to cut away from yourself rather than towards yourself.
These are things I learnt during printmaking class.
Stay safe.✌

It's interesting how Gundam has a very consistent design/aethetic language completely apart from the overall design of the robots.

Another good material to practice with is the plastic from containers like the big laundry detergent bottles. Just make sure you clean them good, and be careful cutting them up!

I've seen mecha decal before. they look really good, I just wish they'd make a variety pack instead of making me buy 1000 decals of one color 😭

I more want to know how to decide where panel lines go in the first place, then I would make a bunch of these

The interesting thing to me is that this practice is also practical when applying it to 3D Art.

There's a technique called Trim Sheets that lets you reuse a texture multiple times throughout an environment because it's split up into multiple segments just like this.

This just randomly showed up in my recommendeds, and I have no idea what this is even about, what we're trying to improve on, and why....but I love it!

Not gonna lie. I jumped when you almost put that chisel through your hand! Amazing work as always!

This video was my very first introduction to gunpla and I have to exit it because the sound of the chisel makes me want to cry. Its like nails on a chalkboard. This hobbly looks very cool and fun! Enjoy it. I'm gonna go listen to smooth jazz and cats purring or something.

If you start sinple, you can always go back later and add more detail or correct 'mistakes'. Making corrections or clarifying designs can help you get better.

Man you dont know how long I have search for this good of a tutorial.
