    I personally think that if you want to get into the hobby and want to buy paint, but don't know what to buy, I would start by purchasing any Tamiya model kit and use the instruction manual to purchase your paints, this way you can see what colors are most used in model car building. After purchasing all of the colors listed in the manual (using the Tamiya color codes that are listed), you should have a majority of the colors to build most model cars.

    Even though its sad its the truth. Jun is completely right, if you want to build a nice looking model car kit. its going to need alot of money and practice before it can look some what nice. so if you have the money and patience then go for it. your first car is probably not going to look good but practice takes time. one day you will have alot of nice looking scale model cars for you to look at.

    Hi Jun as you said,the perfect beginners kit is not outhere yet. But it is about thebuilding proces of that kit. I had a hectick life,lived by the time day by day. I find relaxation in building modelcars/trucks. And after 35 years of building my last kit i started last year again after watching video,s from You and more other builders.Did my first kit basic,but used spaycans and cheap super glue,a old side cutter and hobbyknife. Bought at the paintshop a few different nrs of wet sanding paper and build a DECENT looking model. But i had fun it the whole proces. Then i decided to buy a middle quality airbrush and a compressor with a tank. A good knife,scriber,hand vise etc. Now my kits are looking 10 times better as the first kit i build last year. It is a learning proces and it gets me in the ZONE. And the most important thing is.You can build the cars you like in your own style. I have build a TOM,s Supra GT in a trackcar version,painted in Tamiya TS 54 metallic blue,used only a few small decals and it was looking great. Used that model on a charity auction for our local Dog-resque and brought in€ 175,- . I had a great time building it,was realy satifying,but the best was for me that some appriciated my work and loved it the same as i did. And got some money for the charity was making this build for me to a magical build. It is a hobby,not a competition slamming the kits together. Take your time and the results will improve,build by build.

    Great video and I think does answer a lot of questions. I know for many builders, it is not always the finished product that matters but the journey of the build. For myself, I usually just give away my builds as I really just want to begin the next one. I feel the aoshima pre-painted kits give a real view of what it means to be a builder and is great for those who want to know what it is like to get into the hobby and of course the natural progression will be the desire to then paint your own stuff in colors and styles of your own choosing. Your video is perfect to showcase all the different options. Now that you have done HG Gundam, you need to get yourself a Real Grade, then a good Master Grade. Then if you have money to burn, grab one of those Perfect Grade RX-78 kits. Pure bliss!

  • @tcandle695
    @tcandle695 Před 2 lety +22

    Thanks for the video. You show different options for car modelling. Plastic car modeling is not for everyone. It requires an initial investment in tools and materials, lots of patience and time. Model kit prices have gone up making them unaffordable for the people hoping to start in the hobby. Car modeling is very demanding in the finish Dept. Military modelling is not as demanding and can be painted by hand in most cases. Anyway I personally like to build model cars. I build for my own pleasure and not for contests or to compete with anyone.

    I love this video as it really harps on the idea of patience. My first model car, I couldn’t wait for the break disc and calipers to dry so I grabbed my heat gun with the lowest setting and it warped them! I was devastated but this is also why they are better than snap-kits. Even if you do manage to mess something up, there is always some way to fix it.

  • @AustinF12
    @AustinF12 Před rokem +1

    Great video! Thanks for sharing your first two builds, it makes others feel better that their mistakes are normal and you can't have high expectations at the start, its a skill that takes lots of practice, try an improve with each build. Amazing to see how far you've come Jun! Another idea for beginners would be building the car with a different theme where mistakes are OK, rather than building an OEM prestine clean model you could go for any, or a mix of: beat up, rusted, dirty, muddy, abandoned, apocalypse/mad max. Imperfections fit with these builds or can be easily hidden, you'll still need plenty of supplies.

    This video is so helpful yet so calm.
    In terms of car model kits i have no experience, but somehow, when i was 7 years old, my parents bought me a BBurago Fiat 500L model kit. These kits were (i don't know if they are still in production) a mix of snaps and glue was required in certain cases. The body was a pre-painted metal die-cast. For beginners maybe these are a valuable option(i think? I was a child but i remember it was really fun to build it).

    Thank you so much for this video. Very informative. I’ve built a good amount of gunpla kits and love cars so I’ve been trying to level up into this type of building. I would love to get one of the middle level Aoshima prepainted ones but they are too expensive so I’m gonna just try a regular one and see how it goes!

  • @user-nj6bt5gy4s
    @user-nj6bt5gy4s Před rokem +1

    You're right, you're very right building these car kits require patience, time, and money. A lot of things that many people don't have. Especially since the risk for mistake is so high, and so detrimental. I'm glad you mentioned saving up and buying a high quality die cast instead. I believe that can be a really good alternative.

  • @m1yuuu_combatseawolf
    @m1yuuu_combatseawolf Před rokem

    I started my model kit journey with HG gunpla kits. My first ever model car kit is the Aoshima Asurada GSX Aero Mode, which happens to be one of the usual, 'complicated' model kits that demands higher modeling skills, but managed to build it and even custom painted the body, though the rest of the kit is less detailed, it still gave me a huge amount of satisfaction when I finished building it. My latest finished kit is the Aoshima Snap Kit R34 GTR and when the right time comes, I'll start building the Tamiya 1/24 R32 GTR Nismo.

    Dude you will have ZERO problems with Gundam considering how good you are at car kits! I build Gunpla and started building cars because of watching your channel. I really think it's doable for beginners to get into car kits if they patiently follow the process on your video, which is what I did. The costs might put them off but really I think for people who are just starting it's ok to only paint the car body at first and then later learn to paint the details as they advance in technique.

Also saw that damaged shield being made before somewhere, amazing job on it!

    I still remember when I started making plastic models again at the beginning of 2020 after 15 years. I got 2 kits (Revell) and the necessary accessories to start again. I paid around €200. 50€ for the 2 kits and the rest for the accessories. You learn more and more and at the end of the year airbrush equipment will be added ;-)
    Hobbies cost money and time, otherwise they wouldn't be a hobby. But it is a nice and calming hobby

  • @Regan_Tatham
    @Regan_Tatham Před rokem

    I was a complete biginner, I jumped right into the deep end and built a 1/24 Tamiya Porsche 959. Painting wasn't too bad as I have pretty steady hands and was able to paint the trim around the windows with a tiny paint brush. All together I think the kit, the tools I used to make it, and a pre-made diorama cost me about 95NZD. This was because I already had some paints, tweasers and a scalpel laying around. The end result look great in my opinion, especially considering it was my first model, however it took me many months to finish it as school got in the way a lot and as parts of the build such as joining the body to the chassis were very difficult. After building that kit I have decided that I would like to maybe build something a bit easier that doesn't become a headache.
    P.S I am 14 so if i can do it as a complete biginner you probably can too.

  • @TheFrogChannel
    @TheFrogChannel Před rokem

    I completely agree with your frustrations over the availability of pre-painted kits. The craft and hobby stores near me only sell the toy-like snap kits and the full-blown unpainted stuff. The way I see it, not everyone has the time, money, or reason (say they only want to make one car) to invest into painting models, and they just want something that looks halfway decent when it's finished and put on display.
    Hell, I would be in favor of killing off snap kits entirely. As you mentioned in the video, one could easily buy a higher-quality model of a particular car for less money. I genuinely can't think of a reason why anyone would want a snap kit. Want a good-looking model for cheap? Get a diecast. Want a thorough building experience? Get a pre-painted kit. Sure, it kicks kids out of the hobby, but it's clear that it's pretty much impossible to cater to them without sacrificing the product itself.
    Excellent video. We need more pre-painted kits.

    Another option for me is the Revell Snaptite kit/easyclick system, it's not painted but the scale is 1/24 and the finished car is quite heavy and feels nice, I personally painted mine but I guess it would look quite decent even without paint, it has sticker and water slide decals so I think is a nice compromise between the 2 options you put

I have about 95% of the tools I need. The last 5% is a spray booth.

    I think that this is a wonderful hobby for car fans to get into. The reality is that many car enthusiasts (myself included) out there wont ever get to own any of these beautiful classics in real life. With time they become harder to come across, which in turn, makes them more expensive. However with these little models, we can at least say we own and built a Toyota Supra or Mazda RX-7 lol 😅

    a very interesting video. there were always impressions of your own work, which in my opinion would have been more important and valuable to show where you can develop if you just make an effort.
    in my opinion, these "put together" kits, which look more like a puzzle than a beginner kit, don't really help to get used to model making and scale modeling. one does not really glue anything, grind anything, varnish anything and put no decals. all work that is necessary to build a beautiful and handsome model from the cast plastic parts.
    to get a taste of model making with these plug-in kits is like learning to drive an automatic car if you have a car with a manual gearbox at home. you learn how to do it, but you're almost starting over when you want to do it right.

    Thank you for this video, I am looking at kits to start on and trying to learn the best way to build these as I randomly found a kit of my dream motorcycle and had to buy it but now I'm terrified of screwing it up so will put it aside and practice on a lot more before I dare try the Africa Twin.
    Can real car paints be used on plastic models? I just seen your civic and thought that would look great in Super Sonic Blue, it's a memory for me from when I worked with Honda in the late 90s, would love that

    I used to build many model planes but it is so time consuming so gunpla is a great option and has something for all skill level and the hg line and some rg are relatively cheap compared to other high quality models like Tamiya or Hasegawa or even cheaper brands like revel

    I'd recommend buying a Land Rover as a first car kit. Get one of the first land rovers, where the paint finish was pretty Matt in finish. That way you can ignore polishing stages. Even better, make it into a military vehicle, where you can add weathering, some damage, and even add some custom touches.

  • @Dirk_Von_Dickshlinger

    Hey Jun! I have a question. I am looking to get back into building model cars. Is it possible to give me a list of colors that you use the most? Desides gloss/semi gloss/flat black and white? I have an idea already from my past modeling experience, just wanted your experience. More curious about the metal colors for engine block, exhaust, roll cages etc. Also wheel colors. Thank you!

  • @MrChubs209
    @MrChubs209 Před rokem

    As a gunpla builder a normal car model kit is basically a step removed from a scratch build. The Blue 86 is on par with a HG kit from the early to mid 00's, simple and easy. But then the larger prepainted kits dont let you do anything other than glue and add stickers. If they could mold the car parts in bare color plastic then let the customer add whatever they wanted it would be perfect atleast for me

  • @garrettleo2009
    @garrettleo2009 Před 2 lety

    I think the closest thing for a simple car kit are those tamiya mini 4wd, it may not be the most realistic cars but i think its beginner friendly and they would appreciate the kits having a motor for it to move. Great video though.

    I always recommend military vehicles for beginners. They don't need a glossy finish and you can paint a camouflage if you feel brave, or a single color. Also, you don't have to fuss about panel lines or minute details.Well, unless it's an airplane of course.
    The easiest are submarines and you can experiment with underwater dioramas too. Very fun. The next step up is tanks, then ships, then airplanes and helicopters. Civilian Cars, trucks and motorcycles come last because you need experience to get a good paint finish. And when the paint is glossy, a bad finish is a bad model.

    go for the pre painted kits or any normal kit with no engine i had gotten my first kit a tamiya 180sx i didn't paint it or anything straight out of the bos build and it looked decent then i tried one of the snap kits and was disappointed with the outcome as i hadn't done a lot yet the result looked cheap and toy like

    Thanks i will probably get a model car kit i mean like i have the tools but not the time, because i have part-time job so i cant finish like even one car kit maybe it will take months just for me to build one car kit, but i have built like 2 car kits so far one is the castrol supra and the other is a s13 yeah it's hard to finish the two when you also have a job to do, you cant have much free time when your building and you have a job too, i was planning on buying another car kit but i dont have enough money, sometime's i will get late at work due to building this type of car kits. But thanks for the video too

  • @aizuddinfahmi9255
    @aizuddinfahmi9255 Před rokem +1

    Like you said, if you really go for the real deal, building model car kits (applying paint, glue, decals, sanding, etc) feels more like an occupation than a hobby. I always wanted to build one and have tried once before. However, when you don't have the necessary tools (e.g. proper glue), you'll get a very unsatisfying result and frustration altogether. I'm a car guy but I also don't have all the time in the world to build one perfectly. Even now, I've stopped building Gunpla kits because it requires you to cut the parts and do some minor line painting. As a working man now, I still want to pursue this hobby of collecting model cars but I also don't want to spend a lot of time with all the details.
    My recommendation would be to invest in Lego car kits (Speed Champions, Technic, Creator). These kits are priced reasonably considering you don't need to spend a decade to complete one of them. My other recommendation is to buy a high-end 1/18 diecast models (Autoart, Norev, BBR, etc.). Some might say buying these 1/18 diecast models are expensive, but for me if you include all the tools and time require to build a model kit, you're better off buying a complete one instead. Not to mention, you can even open the doors, boot, and bonnet of these high-end 1/18 models.
    I'm not dissing car model kit builders at all. If anything, I admire and salute their dedication to the craft. I even envy these craftsman because building a car model kit requires skills, detail, and determination to get one model kit car right. But for the rest of us who aren't too keen and have that passion for the craft, but just want to collect cars for display, I would suggest going with my recommendations instead.

      Painting is always recommended for these plastic models, it makes the car look a lot more realistic. Without painting it will look dull and toy like.
