- In this video I built a custom RG Eva 01 model kit and turn into the awakened beast from the Rebuild movies. For this kit I tried new techniques like LEDs and UV resin casts. I will be using materials made by @greenstuffworld , like Blue Stuff, their UV Resin and Green Stuff.

EPIC! Thanks again for letting in on the process, the ups and the downs!
Wow!! This whole channel is a hidden gem, definitely subscribing
Thank you for your support :)
That wing background from the early part of this video is such 🔥cameo😅
Love the storytelling 🎉
Haha thanks for noticing 😁 I'm actually watching this show for the first time. 10 episodes left.
Bro feine Sachen, als ich mit gunpla angefangen habe dachte ich auch nicht das es mich so reinziehen würde. Schon krass
Haha jo danke. Ist schon ein Hobby mit viele Facetten, macht schon Bock das alle so zu entdecken.
I'd like to applaud your wonderful ideas and practices👏👏
And I liked how your expression looked happy during the preparation process and making it :)
And I'd like to thank you for always checking out my videos 🙏
Such an informational video! Subscribed!
For resin casting with details, you can open the mold and brush on a thin layer of resin to get into the cracks and crevasses and cure that. Build up in layers and then fill. 3D printing anti yellowing resins works well and it's cheap. 3D resin is also less viscus and great for fine details.
That is such a great tip. I will keep that in mind. Building up the layers with a brush, so good! Thanks man, very much appreciated!
5:11 That's what i've been doing, too. I cut all the parts from the runners and put them in labelled compartments from Allit Sortimentskästen.
When i'm finished renovating my new place i'll probably put up something wallmounted.
Edit: Great idea and an awesome job!
Speaking of which, how is the renovating coming along?
@@GiantRobolove Slow but nice. I am almost finished painting the Walls (going to do a Gundam Logo on one wall of the Hobby room). Then do the ceiling and Afterwards the floor (Laminat). I should be finished in April :)
That's sounds great. A Gundam hobby room, life goals haha! Good luck for the last steps.
Remember, sometimes all a loose joint needs to get the added friction to hold it together, is a generous shot of clear coat.
Haha yes, for some reason I always forget about that particular trait of top coat. Thanks for the reminder!
Your video are just the best ! Being new to gunpla myself - these videos really inspire me to try new things ! Keep up the awesome work !
Thanks Tom! Enjoy your Gunpla journey :)
You should try using a topcoat next time to prevent the paint from chipping
I was contemplating that for the outer parts because I'm still undecided if I want to weather this kit or not. But yeah, I definitely should have done that for the inner parts.
So impressive! And so different again. Awesome. I mean you are even becoming an electric engineer now!!! 😂
Thanks, a pamm of all trades 😂
Awesome. Your leveling up!
Thanks my friend!
This is very awesome.
Thank you my friend :)
Keep up the dope work man.
Will do! Thanks for watching :)
Nice documentation on your hobby. I cut off and bin my large pieces and leave the tiny ones on the runners because they are easy to loose. If I bag tiny parts, I will use a small zip lock bag for those. V-fins I would tape that to a scrap runner so it won't break. I will use a sharpie and write the numbers on the back of the parts if needed. It can be wiped off with alcohol. I usually build multiple kits at a time, I bag the parts in zip lock bags and put them back in the box.
Hey, those are great tips. What do you do with painted parts though? Putting them together in zip bags would cause scratches, no?
I’m gonna use your idea with the blue stuff 😂 and try to create clear resin parts for the PG EVA 01. Hopefully I can replace the green parts and add LEDS to change from green to red 🤔.
Yeah, go for it! Let me know how it went :) I fear you will need a lot of blue stuff for PG scale 😅
bad ass transition to light up
Thank you for noticing!
just randomly discovered your videos, and you make really great content! Keep that tone and quality, they're unique!
Wish you the success that your work deserves!
Hey, glad you decided to click on that thumbnail and thanks a lot for watching and your kind words. Let's see where this journey goes :)
@@GiantRobolove and I forgot the most important: awesome build! I loved this design in the movie
Thank you :) yeah I'm happy that the fluorescent red worked out so well.
I'd like to say (with guilt) one of my biggest plamo fails came from this exact RG Eva kit.
Yeeeaahhh young influenced hobbyist me was feeling a bit lucky and went with an RG very early on. Let's just say a table WAS flipped 😬
Oh dang, I'm sorry to hear. Did you manage to somehow save it?
@@GiantRobolove I did actually! A quick break is always helpful, and eventually did finish it up. Would love to rebuild it though.
That's great to hear. Maybe some day you will find the motivation for the Rebuild of Evangelion ;)
@@GiantRobolove I'm glad you saw what I did there haha
Your editing is amazing. Where did you learn?
Hey, thanks a lot for acknowledging. My day job revolves around video editing and motion design, so that is where I learn a lot of that stuff.
billiant
Thank you!
I just discovered your channel and I like the build!
Curious, did you ever finish this by routing the cables and power supply?
Hey, thanks for watching. In fact, I never did :( This build has been in my mind for so long because I was tossing around ideas. It's definitely on my to do list for next year. So keep your eyes peeled :)
Awesome gonna try this on my bi gundam rg btw can i have more info on led and wires pls
Yeah, please do so. What exactly would you like to know?
@@GiantRobolove the specific name for these small leds uf theres some number whats the diameter for the wires and the battery which battery is that
I don't have the package of the LEDs anymore, but basically those were decoration LED strips with small LED units. As for the wires: 2,6mm diameter. Just look for ones that are very thin, because you won't have a lot of room to squeeze them in. Batteries are just normal AA batteries. I'll talk more about the electronics in the follow up video.
Bro
U help me
Thanks tho
Luv u
Thanks for watching!
The very bottom silver spine piece broke on mine but I decided to leave it off since you can’t see his rear on my shelf. But man was I pissed.
Dang that sucks. I feel you, those Eva RGs are really really flimsy.
Sadly this video has more little views than usual
True. That's the algorythm for you. But it is what it is. Next video is already in the making!
@@GiantRobolove curious
What is that airbrush?!
It's a portable USB airbrush made by Autolock. If you're interested in more details, I made a video dedicated to it.
