- Yo what's good my friends,
in this video I finally try one of those LED filaments to create a custom build of the 1/144 Gouf Custom. I'm also going back to diorama building as I'm going to create a custom base for the kit. For that I will be using airbrush techniques that I haven't tried before.

LED noodle filaments are 💯! Need to order them in wholesale batches 😂
There is so much going on in this build. If you're feeling that I haven't gone into enough detail for some parts, please let me know. There is always the possibiliy of doing a follow up video.
Have fun and stay safe everyone :)
Beautiful work, man! Excellent project and video. Thanks for the shoutout!
Hey, thanks for checking out the video and thanks for being an inspiration 🙏
Not only good gunpla building as always, but also Silent Hill gameplay? This is the perfect video.
Haha yeah, Silent Hill still haunts me to this day 😂 Which one is your favorite? Mine would be SH2 I guess. Looking forward to the remaster.
@@GiantRobolove mine overall is Silent Hill 3, but that and Silent Hill 2 are neck and neck :)
Wow! Super Arbeit von vorne bis hinten! Der paintjob, das LED Gefummel, die base, die Videopräsentation, einfach alles! Ich wünschte, ich könnte das so gut!
Vielen Dank :) alles eine Frage der Übung. Einfach dran bleiben und nicht frustrieren lassen, dann wird's schon :)
Wow absolutely stunning! That diorama base turned out so nice. Gotta say your production quality is incredible you should be very proud of yourself! You deserve way more subscribers. Keep it up look forward to your next projects.
Thank you a lot! I'm always very invested in the production process and it fills me with joy when people acknowledge that :)
A deathscythe in this color scheme would be cool.
Oh yes, you're right, I can see that too.
The Gouf Gustom is my favorite Mobile suit ever, and the HGUC Gouf Custom is an amazing kit, a serious favorite of mine
Yeah, it definitely jumped to the upper part of my fav listl. I think my all time fav designs is still the Kaempfer and the Sazabi and Gouf somewhere along the way.
@@GiantRobolove Yeah, such amazing suits
Great video! As someone who has been into gunpla for less than a year, it's inspiring to see how much your builds have grown in quality, and I hope I'm able to build something as amazing someday
Keep it up 😁
Thank you. Just keep at it and you will get there in no time. It's just patience and practice. Happy building :)
I would definitely appreciate it if you would do a follow up video, or just a tutorial video on led customizing. It really interest me, but not quite sure how to make everything work together.
Thanks, the video is live now and as a matter of fact, you are in it 😁
NEW VIDEEEEOOOO NEEEEEEWWWW EXCITEMEEEEENT THIS IS SOOOOOO AWESOOOOOMMMEEEEEEEE
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so so so impressed about what you are always creating here, the effort, the quality, the SYMPATHY and last but not least THESE FREAKIN AMAZING RESULTS!!!!!!
much love for you and your channel. Continue like that, it’s the best 🙌🏼
Haha oh yes! Thank you Jonny!
Awesome video! I would love to see a more in-depth video on LED mods. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks, since quite a few people asked, I will follow up with such a video. Keep your eyes peeled :)
Allways love your videos! I appreciated the interlude silent hill segment as well ( : keep up the great work!
I'm glad you liked the intermission as I had a lot of fun doing it :)
yet another amazing build! 🙌 watching you really makes me want to start making my own diorama some day, maybe even dedicate a studio room for passion projects
Thank you. If you have the space, go for it. I would love to have a dedicated hobby room.
I would love to see an LED and wiring walk through (notice I skipped the word tutorial...). Knowing what oddities you encountered (as I have this kit on my shelf) would be enlightening along with your thoughts on how you solved the problem. Also, I have to say, the golden age of Eastern and Western animation was the late 80's through the mid 90's before CGI really took over everything; so yeah, I agree with you there. Nothing wrong with the digital coloration on the hand drawn cells (especially thinking about the skill those mecha key frame animators had... holy smokes...).
That will definitely be a very specific video. I do have all the steps on camera, though I'm not sure anymore to which extend. It's still possible to do a walkthrough I guess, as I suppose that a lot of that also applies to HG Zakus (have not built an HG version yet). So I guess the info is applicable to other kits as well. Besides routing and wiring, is there anything else in particular that sparks your interest?
Yeah, I have fond memories of so many shows from back then. Nostalgia hits hard haha.
@@GiantRobolove Maybe adding recommendations as to what kinds of LED's you picked out, sizes, and such and where you used them. Watching someone else work through the pit-falls and trial and error is always informative; and often times helpful for you as well as others share their own insights based on their experiences (hopefully making the next project easier for all).
Yes, tools and supply list are definitely a must. I'm already collecting some ideas for the video. So keep a lookout for that :) Thanks for your input, it's greatly appreciated!
Great video my man! Love the 90’s vibe you gave it but don’t scare me like that! 😂 Awesome build. It was fascinating seeing everything you did on this, from mod to wiring and dio base. LED is definitely hard but very satisfying to pull off.
Your dio base process was enlightening to watch! You know my struggles. Lol. Gonna have to ask you some questions sometime.
Haha yeah thx, I've gone overboard in some scenes with the color correction though. Some of them are blow out, something to take away for the next video.
I'm always open to questions, you know where to find me :)
I would definitely love to see a follow up video on your processes and work flow through this project! I'm currently working a project of my own involving LED lighting and I'm trying out scale modeling LED's that involve no soldering from Evan Designs. The use of the filament LED's here for the whip was a really awesome idea, and makes me want to try it myself some day. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! How do those no solder LEDs work? Are you talking about the ones with are being triggered by an electric conductive field?
And yeah, be on the look out for the walkthrough. The demand has been very high, so I will oblige :)
@@GiantRobolove Technically they are pre-soldered parts with connectors for things like a coin/AA/AAA battery holder, and the wire specifically for their smaller sized LED's are magnet wire. From playing around with them, all that is needed is to braid the cables together and apply heat shrink tubing on the exposed wires. You can also use solder to glue the connections, but i dont access to one at the moment. They have a youtube with tutorials on how they work, and their own website that i ordered from. Im in the US, but i believe they may ship outside too. I have seen the wireless LED's using electric conductive fields being used but i believe they need a special base to work correctly, and i wanted a custom base for my project. Hope that clarifies a bit!
Ah I get it. I will take a look, however I think that ordering for me is not an option, since I guess shipping cost will be too high. But just knowing of them helps, maybe I can find some of them here as well. Either way, thanks for sharing 👍
@@GiantRobolove of course! If anything, i admire your dedication and expertise in using the traditional method with soldering, and hope you continue to do great work. Looking forward to the follow up video ✌
Yes please do an indepth LED tutorial
Thanks for speaking up!
Really enjoy watching your videos. I still wish I could make such dioramas for my big cabinets. Just don’t have the skill or time. Funny ending. Worked fine with the blue backlight on “her” as well. How did you do that? Just normal editing? Keep up the good work. Let’s get this channel boosted
Good eye for detail! This was actually a 3D scene for which I recreated the lighting of my room to match everything. Afterwards I composited everything in After Effects and did some minor touch ups, so that everything fits.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you always for the wonderful video!
I enjoyed watching it :)
Thank you always for checking them out :)
Looks amazing! Always making me want to up my building!
Thanks a lot. Hope you do :)
Looks awesome! Great work and great video! 💙
Thank you my friend :)
fantastically built,great vid as always 🙂
Thank you my friend!
thank you 4 gd vids 🙂@@GiantRobolove
So glad to see another video from you! This looks incredible! I always learn something new and get inspired by your builds.
Where do you source your LEDs from? Ive only added LEDs to one kit and I got them from EvanDesign but felt the price was a little high to go to crazy with.
Thank you so much :) Evan Design seems to be the go to place for people in the US. I've heard this name a lot by now. Since I'm in Europe I have to find other sources. I got mine from a local store, so it probably won't help you much, sorry 😅
den Jumpscare nehm ich dir krumm :D mega Video aber trotzdem :)
Haha, der hat sich aber auch iwo angekündigt 😁 Danke, mein bester 👍
masterful!
Thanks!
Looks great, man! It's always fun to see how others do their step by steps. I do all painting with each part separated, so masking and top coat every piece prior to building. Not very efficient, I know, but I enjoy giving each part the love it deserves.
I've always wanted to use those filament things. I've got a big project coming up that uses LEDs but I haven't the slightest clue on how to start xD
Sometimes I get lazy with the top coat and spray complete limbs haha.
What exactly did you have in mind for your project? I definitely did a lot of research beforehand, especially on the wire/soldering part. As of now, there are some people voicing interest in a tutorial, so I guess I know what I have to do next 😅
As always, thank you for watching and commenting :)
I've got a Nu verka where I want to have standing on a dio surface with the LED lit funnels acting as that pyramid shield using sheets of acrylic. Hoping to have it ready for our local competition in the spring time.
Love what you've been putting out, keep at it :)
Ah yes, that's a nice idea. I've seen a japanese builder do that kind of diorama with resin. Good luck on the build, I would love to see the result :)
You should make a diorama of a mobile suit battle, but it's in a flooded city
I dont expect you do make it 1:1 to my description, let alone even make it but it's just an idea if you're struggling to think of one
I've always wanted to try out resin for water effects. So I will definitely keep your suggestion in mind :)
So... Where did you get that Mario hat you're wearing near the end for wiring section??
Also. I hate how much better you are at this then me. My big question, as someone who wants to start painting, I worry about color selection (for those creative big divergences from the standard colors of the model) so you have suggestions on how to plan ahead and visualize how well the colors will go together?
Lol yeah that. I got it from the Nintendo at Rockefeller Center in New York waaaay back then.
I feel you, the urge of getting better couldn't come faster. But to be honest, it's the journey that's the most fun. I would suggest that you start out with little divergences from the original colors. That way you learn to get a feeling for the right look. It comes down to patience and practice. One way to visualize a certain color scheme is to use Photoshop (or any software of similiar type) to digitally paint your kit. You can check out my video of the Aerial. There is a short section where I show how this pre-visualization process looks like.
What also helps is to learn a bit of color theory. Knowing which colors go well together in theory will help you with your kit. You can try colors.co for example to test out how different colors look like next to each other and then go from there.
Hope that helps :)
What type of tape did you use for scribing? 2:24
This was flexible guiding tape by Tamiya if I'm not mistaken. I've gotten this years back and can't remember 100%.
Link on the leds and battery packs used?
Hm, it probably won't be of much help for you, since I've ordered from a local store here. I can give you the name of the LED type: SMD 0603. This should lead you somewhere. As for the battery packs: if you search for "aaa battery compartment" on Amazon, then you should find some. They are pretty ordinary, nothing special.
How long does it take for you to complete your customisation, what’s your schedule for each section
It differs from kit to kit. The panel lines for this kit didn't take too long. Maybe two afternoons of work? This kit took maybe 30 hours in total including LED and base. It has a faster turn around than the Unicorn that I did before that.
@@GiantRobolove Well good job, it’s super cool!
Why doesn’t the paint rub off when you’re using the thinner to wipe the panel line excess off?
I'm using lacquer paint for the kit and enamel paint for the panel lines. The enamel thinner only attacks the enamel paint as the laqcuer is resistant to the thinner.
