ENAMEL HAND PAINT GUNPLA DETAILS using Testors and Tamiya
Vložit

- I share with you some foundational knowledge of lacquer, enamel, and acrylic paints and thinners; how to judge what details are appropriate for enamel hand painting; and hands-on techniques for smooth and clean finishes. Using Testors and Tamiya Enamel paints, I demonstrate on my Mechanicore Ziegler's work in progress. Whether your gunpla kit is painted or not, hand painting with enamel can help bring out the details in your kit, without an airbrush!

Have you tried enamel hand painting yet? What kinds of difficulties did you experience? Share with me!
I enjoy it too! Well, I think we just feel that way with whatever is not available, cuz Testors is much harder to get in Korea than Tamiya, and Koreans like to use the metallic colors XD I think Testors metallics is better than Tamiya though!
hand painting with acrylic and trying to clean it up was newr impossible
i love doing it for my innerframe. u can see some of them on my instagram @chapitzulkefli10
Hey snow, What is that brush type that you used? Tamiya?
@@frostedsnow when I done some figures I primed them with mr surfacer 1000 white and then used humbrol enamel paint on it and it didn't stick.
I've been hand painting for decades, this is the most informative and demonstrative explanation of painting properties I've seen in the Gunpla world yet. Your part on the strengths and weaknesses of placing the paint was inspired, it's things you develop a knack for but never think to illustrate. Perfect. Your content continues to be totally amaze-balls.
PS - Nice chaos space marine, black legion for life!
Thank you so much for your super awesome feedback. It's not sth you think about anymore, but I remember being a beginner and making all these mistakes (and smtimes pleasantly breaking rules that turned out fine)! It takes so much time to make these vids but comments like yours make it worth it! And my love is with Chaos!!! Cheers :)
The strength breakdown is what I needed! Thank you. No one else has started this as clearly!
I liked the part where she said "this"
🤣🤣🤣
ASMR right there

Finally found a detailed guide on how to hand paint gunpla, most guides I have found have been very vague. Thank you :)
I will now absorb all of your painting knowledge.
Hands down one of the best instructional videos on paint that I have EVER seen. I'm passing this along to my WarHammer friends as well because I think you bring up some great points and tips on how to approach design and paint selection. Love the examples where you point out on the parts where you would/wouldn't paint, love the drawings, easy to follow and apply in my next project.
Thank you for sharing with the community and your feedback. Glad it was helpful! Will try to make it more like this in upcoming Airbrush series too!
Just entering the gunpla world, glad that did I find you
Glad you stopped by!
And now you shall not leave
(Cause it is too much fun)😁
I can't believe it, in the first 3 minutes you made clear something I was so confused about regarding paints; the deal with enamels and acrylics and paints and why painting over one was ok and painting over another was not, or why using x type of top coat was bad on x type of paint. No one ever explained exactly why! It makes so much sense now!! Thank you!!!
so glad to clear things up!
That nightingale is so beautiful
Great presentation. 71 years young. Been modeling since I was a kid. Just getting into Gundum. I,ll be veiwing for more great tips.
awesome to hear! happy modelling : )
Your tutorial videos are fantastic!! So much thought and care put into them, really high quality. Hand painting is such a great way to get intricate details & unique customizing without the money and steep learning curve of airbrushing.
I just started hand painting Gundams and, this video was very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it helps!
I really liked how in depth you got. For me, it really helps
So glad it helps!! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I'm really excited you made this video, there are so many painters on CZcams but nobody can explain what they do and why they do it in detail like you've done here.
You are so welcome!
Me at Subway: I want this, this, this......
This channel deserves more views and subs!
lol I'm too cheap for extra toppings
This is incredibly thorough and informative. Really above and beyond YT standards. Thanks so much for the help. It’s great to find a video that I can come back to for reference on the topic.
Exuse me, young lady! I'm a gold member of the Chart Lecture Explanation Awesome Notes and Spelling club (or "C.L.E.A.N.S."club) I feel like inducting you into our hall of fame. That expert explanation of layering acrylic over enamel over laquer was superb and not boring at all. Thank you, good job.
My honor! What email should I send my photo to? 🤗🏅
@@frostedsnow just kidding but I liked an subscribed. you make awesome videos!!!!!
Lol I was kidding too 😅😅
This is honestly the most helpful tutorial I have seen for gunpla :)
Super awesome thank you!
This was the first of your videos that I've discovered, and your way of explaining things makes so much sense! Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm just a beginner and, after following multiple Gunpla tutorial channels, I think you explain things the best. Keep it up!
So awesome to hear!!
Just 1 video and it's got everything i want to know. Thank you so much! I'm very appreciate it!
Yes. I hand painted an entire 1/100 Gundam with enamal paints back when i was in HS.
I didnt know how to paint back then, but overall it came out pretty well for a time when youtube (how to videos) did not exist.
Excellent video btw. :)
It's a good option without an airbrush. Glad you enjoyed :)
I learned a lot! Thank you so much for this - especially lacquer / enamel / and acrylic and the the strength of each one and where to layer. This is a must watch people trying to get into it.
So glad that part helps! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
This video was so much fun to watch. I can wait to hand paint my first Windam. Thank you very much for this. The end results on your meticulous paint job came out amazing looking.
Thanks so much and hope your paint job turns out great!
@@frostedsnow you are welcome. And thank you. I hope so too, lol. Have a very blessed day.
Ive been painting my first kit and all these tutorials you have has made it such an enjoyable experience! THANK YOU!
Wow, this was extremely informative and you did a fantastic job with clear and defined results.
I haven't tried painting yet, but I feel really confident to give it a go after watching this. You have the perfect balance of theory and demonstration for my learning style. I'm so happy to have found your account!
I really appreciate the tips, I just got back into gundam and really needed the right start, thank you
The algorithm sent me your way from 40k. Your Warhammer minis are excellent!
Dude!....so great to hear an educated methodical explanation. Excellent examples of the different application areas. So many videos skip the details. Thanks again and you will be my go to for explanations and tips. Can't tell you how much your thought and consideration improve the learning process. Well DONE!...I am ready to get some paint ON!
So glad it was helpful and you liked the details! Paint on!
Just found this. very detailed and explains so much that I never understood between the different kinds of paints
The illustration's really pushed, some fuzzy knowledge through, about how to layer different paint systems and base's.
It gave me the basic knowledge i wanted to learn.
I lean towards lacquer and enamel based systems which most channels do not cover.
cheers,
So glad that part was helful! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
That piece of advice that you gave around airbrushing in lacquer, then doing any hand painting in enamel was incredibly valuable. I've watched about a dozen videos on painting gunpla, and none of them have broken it down as clearly. Thank you!
Will try to include those details in these types of tutorials 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm new to the gunpla hobby I've only done a few models but I did it as a total beginner so I made a lot of mistakes. Watching your videos makes me want to try even painting, Excelent Work!
It's worth mentioning Tamiya's acrylic paints are a bit different than other acrylic paints. It uses alcohol based thinner and behaves closer to enamel than water solvent based acrylic. You can also paint Tamiya acrylic as base and use enamel highlights on top.
Thank you for a good point!
I watched your videos and it inspired me to start painting. Recently bought some enamel paints and started painting my first kit. Currently watching your airbrushing tutorial and will move on to that as well! Cheers! :)
Yay! Thank you for teaching and EXPLAINING WHY rather than just showing "yep this is how it's done". Please keep up these kinds of videos. I understand and appreciate both the thinking and production effort that goes into these types of instructional / teaching videos!
You are so welcome! Thank you for your awesome feedback and I'll try to do more of that :)
Your tutorials are the best I have seen! The drawings are fantastic!! Thank you for making them! 🤩❤️
My pleasure 😊
You explained everything perfectly. Exactly what I came here for!
You’re to nice for going as in depth as you did, thank you for the explanation of AEL as well
Wow this is amazing video, by far explains everything in clear and easy to understand! Well done!
This was a very good and informative video. Thank you for explaining the types of paint and the orders to paint them.
This was incredibly helpful. I'm pretty fresh to the whole painting bit of model building and only have equipment for hand painting. I've had some issues where my second strokes wash out my first layer. Now i have a much better understanding of what paints to use where and what to shop for when planning my builds. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Knowing about the paints can really make that difference :)
Nice hints and tips...great looking Warhammer figures too 👍
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the useful tips, your channel deserves so much views and subs!
This is an outstanding tutorial for beginners! Thank you for the great information.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice tutorial, super easy and clear to understand! Love from Brazil!!!
Really good quality video. It helped me a lot with better understanding enamel painting. Keep on doing what you do. It's so far one of the most promising channels on youtube about gunpla. You channel jumped on everyone's radar recently. Great job.
What a lovely comment -- thank you! How did it jump on your radar?
Omg! I love how you broken this down!! Thank you!! I subscribed to channel just from this one vid! Passionate and it shows in ur work😁
thank you for this! as a gunpla enthusiast and youtuber this gives me a refresher by the way awesome resin kits!
Glad I could help!
Thank you very much for such a concise and helpful breakdown of different paint types! You've given me the confidence to try hand painting details. :)
Glad I could help! Go for it.
such a high quality instruction video. Thanks so much.
I always got discouraged with hand painting but watching your video gave me a lot of confidence. This is by far the most informative and helpful hand painting video !! Much mahalo to you !
Awesome! I'm really so happy to hear that. It's actually really easy with more practice. Don't be discouraged :)
frostedsnow I’m so excited !!! I love your tutorials pls keep up the good work !
Your mini work is awesome.
Thank you Matt! Cheers!
I thought it had to.be a public access channel. Better than going to a art class. Professional art teacher format with much higher quality information than a usually CZcams video
What an awesome compliment thabk you!
Just started painting about a month or two ago and this was the most informative video on the subject that really simplified it (So that even noobs like me can learn from it) and made it easier to understand. Thank you!
Great to hear :) happy painting!
So pleased I discovered your Channel! Wow you are talented. Keep up the good work and I look forward to viewing all of you videos!✌🤓❤
I'm looking for ways ( techniques) to detail Action figures and I thought to come to the paining pros. I know action figures are a type of rubber but I figure the techniques are still solid. This was very informative. I also see that I should be avoiding enamel fumes 😁. I have been just using this paint as is. Its short sessions, but as you point out, safety first. thanks.
Thanks for the video, nice to see some of the techniques you use!
Glad to share!
A very well presented lesson in hand painting.
This video is a life saver! Very informative! I use your painting technique when applying the enamel. It gives a better finish and no stroke marks!. Only thing I do differently is use the paint lid as a palette. The mix ratio with just dipping the brush in thinner works great for doing fine detail painting! Enamels real make parts stand out. Especially with a wash afterwards. I'm working on MG Barbatos. And the inner frame is perfect playground for enamel detailing!
Thanks again for guiding me at successfully using enamels!
Thanks so much for your super awesome feedback! I'm so glad you were able to use some of the suggestions and that it worked as well. The Barbatos is such a great kit for hand painting. Happy gunpla!
Your videos gives very detailed explanation. It is the first time I'm going into enamel hand painting. Thank you for the tips. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank u excellent painting those tips helped a lot
This is an amazing tutorial. Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
u re an excellent teacher and communicator. thanks
You are an excellent teacher, really excellent thanks so much :)
My boyfriend got gunpla for Christmas and he’s been really into it, and it’s gotten me interested too. I’m most interested in the painting aspect, and he’s not lol. I have to admit that I’m not into mecha ANYTHING but I’m so glad I found your channel! Now I can get to know gunpla better. I’ve been listening to all these other dudes talk but idk why once I found your channel I knew I didn’t have to look for new gunpla content. I’m a sub now 💕
What a lovely msg I read it to my hubs ❤ I love the painting aspect of this hobby too, more than necessarily the mecha. I'm just as happy painting Warhammer miniatures. Maybr you can check those out? There's so much more variety. I'm so happy to be a female builder you can maybe relate more to! 🙋🏻♀️
Thank you for such amazing and easy to understand explanation. I have always struggled trying to understand this
What a master class lesson you have here. Thank you so much I benefited greatly
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video it cleared a lot of what i was already suspecting about handpainting..thank you
Great to hear!
Thee BEST gunpla paint tutorial on CZcams, could have used this 6 months ago but still learned alot! Thanks and I am glad I found your channel! Hopefully your husband makes vids of his resin kits too!:)
That's so awesome to hear! Unfortunately, Kughee doesn't have much time for CZcams. I do record his WIP, they are a part of my other videos.
I'm also going to be uploading separate videos of his full builds only, and doing some resin tutorials of things I learned from him, actually coming soon :)
frostedsnow no problem, I watch alot of korean modellers but dont know what they are saying. Im just happy to have found your channel :)
@@thebigbient8736 There are so many great hard-core builders, but not English speakers :( I'm glad you are enjoying the content!
This this this this this this, is the reason why I subscribed!!! Great job
Thanks so much!! Good to know this style of tutorial is popular :)
An excellent, informative video! Thanks for posting it.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing work
Learned so much. Subscribed!
awesome explanation !!! exactly what i need before hand paint my gunplasss, thanks a lot !!!
Glad it helps!
This was extremely helpful, thanks!
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
So glad! You're welcome 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
you know it's wild seeing something like this after years of painting non-gunpla stuff, I've never done anything other than hand paint and I've never used enamel or lacquers, so this is a really interesting tutorial to stumble on... not remotely what I searched for in youtube but absolutely interesting!
Yeay for CZcams search results then! Glad you found it interesting
The way that you gunpla folks look at your models is incredible, there's a level of attention to detail that you exemplify that I can't even imagine!
Excellent Video.You really know your stuff.
This was very informative…thank you
Very informative video, thanks.
Great video with excellent tips, thank you!
Glad to help! :)
Sent here via Zakuaurelius's discord. You're doing great work for a new channel. I enjoy the articulate detail talk about your enamel work. Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing -- always curious to know where viewers came from. Was it mentioned there in the chat? (I don't know much about Discord 🤣🤣)
Great video. Very thorough.
Glad it was helpful!
Luv this. I can say this a complete tutorial. Hope you make more videos like this. Would def try everything I learned on my barbatos. :)
I hope it works out for you. The barbatos is a great kit to try it out on. Thanks for your compliments!
Super helpful! Thank you.
You're super welcome!
Nice!!! Clarifying any info that I need for Enamel hand painting. Never thought of using thinner to thinned them out when the paint got too thick. I was taught to just use them straight out of the cap.
Right! It's not immediately obvious that paints already contain thinner, hence we can mix the two. Well, I do use it just straight out of the cap too :) Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the video! Im still a beginner to painting Gunpla (still working on my first model) I mostly use my airbrush but ive come acoss a few areas that I think hand painting would be beneficial. This is great information! I do use acrylics though. Just because I paint in my room so I don't have to worry as much about fumes. But I can already see how to improve on what ive done so far. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you so much for your comment and sharing! I absolutely use acrylics too cus it's not smelly and convenient when I need quick fix ups.
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Love this!
thank you for your very detail explanation!
You are welcome!
badass paint finishes
Thank you!
Great explanation!
Glad you think so!
Thank you for this!
I love how you illustrate the layering of paints. Also that dabbing technique, i'm struggling on painting minis with brush strokes. Awesome tutorial as usual! :)
Thank you always for your feedback!! What kinda minis do you paint?
@@frostedsnow I am doing Warhammer 40k as I also play those before. But now I am looking as warhammer aos and bushido, their figures look interesting. :)
Very informative; subscribed!
Awesome!
Very informative, thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
super helpful, thanks!
