everybody knew him from tested here and I'm super excited to introduce you guys
John here John is the founder of new-type and you're a Gundam gunplay
builder yeah and we've I love Gundam we trying to introduce the whole idea of
snap fit kits out there as a gateway to model kit building and an economy that
there might be some great hobby builders and shops in the Bay Area so a new type
you guys are a store but you also do demos and and welcome people in to teach
them how to how to build a Gundam yeah that's right well you've brought some of
the models that you build yourself and there's truly stunning so I wanted to
share them with you out there and also learn from each on a little bit of your
process because these are amazing so let's start right down the middle here
your final pieces this I didn't know what it's what is this character oh this
is a from the benders finger rice store ammo so all the thing I'm just from
basically from the box it's like a distributor but I just want to try to
show some more machines Dale I just repenting something so you can see more
the details and some like metal things so I just want to repent right now it's
a looking Stuart like a dreamer but City it's more powerful to miss Dale right I
love it it's a cutaway model the doorman character are very popular but his it's
a cartoon right flat cel shaded and so the contrasts there you really went all
out with the metal painting and painting gun play kits is it's a whole art do you
paint as you're building or how do you design your your paint scheme sometime
just follow the live so because in the few in the in a normal life you can find
some machine something right these are like technology or something like it is
so fun inside you can fend in some detail you can match on the here for
example like it here you can serve and in the way HECO or motorcycle right we
just won't only want to spend more idea for the model Kate's yeah and at that
scale it really works like you're taking
inspiration you said like from the real world from from things like technology
from things like car jumping at the hood of a car that's right what's gonna look
shiny where the the piece of chrome and so you work with a variety of paint and
is it you are you painting the sub assemblies as you go along
or do you complete the assembly first and then painting I'm just always doing
the part by part and here yeah so because for example it's just like the
earth or a moon it's barely like ice right here they just only have a few
more simple parts and I just doing some masking - hiding the color and repenting
the lot of colors do you have a lot of work but yeah after painting is fun so
you're masking like even a sub-assembly that's right a couple times three or
four times to get the three or four colors yes and then airbrushing yes not
just hand painting so campaign with the airbrush you first time you will be
confined at which parties of 10 pain which part is airbrushed
I just want to more professional to match the pen you got it right you have
a consistency throughout Wow and then do do any additional weathering see you
have also their slides here actually I try to get and battery but I like doing
the latter is not too heavy I'm just really like the lighter so more
light of why during looking some more comfortable huh and especially like I
said at this scale again you don't need dripping oil everywhere it just needs to
look a little older yeah so basically I can doing that but yeah depends about
model case for a project like this how long would this take for you to complete
this one is actually we're just building this why is it the time isn't that so
busy the business it's not - not too busy I just try to take a more friend I
think I said one weeks one week okay all right that's that's still a lot
cuz it's not a big kit and it is all snapped yeah just just want to find a
more friend so yeah moving on now you've brought
this is an interesting comparison because this looks more traditional
Gundam they look different to me but they base
off the same care okay and what and what great is this
it's a 144 Shion 144th scale so this is what you would normally get out of the
box that's right there's a straight view it straight up build it still looks like
you're pretty good clean up do you are you pretty meticulous about edges and
standing down yeah that's enormous yeah it's a built
into your process you know think it's anything special you know experienced
builder here so now looking at this one here are they're based off the same kit
and I see yes it's painted differently but also even the physical form is
different there's more here what have you done to this and just try to
repainting the colored as a first they have an idea to make it a new color for
this and then try to make the plan to power lining it make describing to Adam
or to para light so for example like a panel lining so you can scribing the
shoulders and add more details on the shoulder top you in the body you can try
to add more details for that but the basic is high-grade they don't have a
lot of color you can look in some more better I just try to add more details on
there and choosing two different blue getting more details on there yeah and
because like you're adding multiple tones of it's essentially the same color
palette you have to have the traditional scribe line so those are lines that
you've you actually draw in I'm just so using this the shadows to describe it
and you have like a straight edge that you yep you have a mirror
left and right side that symmetry I imagine is gonna be important I also
noticed like on the center here you said you added things are you scratch
building using like styrene pieces or are they kit bash using other Gundam
pieces how do you add the for example like so actually it's a few more pieces
so I hate even by me I don't remember about from where but it's just some
high-grade extra pieces so like the shoulders
and right here and yeah yeah and it actually has different different texture
and relief on there I like that you're you say you're using other high-grade
pieces of course at all 144th scale it all they kind of are compatible of these
the details look like they're appropriate also I have another some
constant doing it's a for example like the Scheldt even the shell the inside
the shelves they have a nothing basic part they have nothing else on the
inside but I just want to try to add more details mMmmm right here for the
decal work you like every panel I'll have some marketing or yeah actually the
decals I'm just always after to power lining and it's doing the decals mm-hmm
very very cool alright that's mightily impressive but this is just amazing
this can't be a off-the-shelf kit get it that's a called a resin case so not to
like the whole rising they need to with have been that normal case for example
like a sound connector or the in the frame hybrid yep so the way I understand
it is people would buy you know like a high grade kit of this character maybe
it only comes in high grade and it has the frame this thing the skeleton but
everything that you plug in that's a custom piece that's a like this it's
about called it right in case and so this doesn't come from Bandai these are
custom molded and casted from the community yeah and there's a ton of
pieces here these all individually just hand mold hand cast oh my gosh Wow and
so for someone like you like you would customize this figure and do your own
take on it additional scribe lines additional
scratch bills kit bashing and then you disassemble and put into individual into
molds and so and then make batches of them for other people to build your
version of that that's what this is essentially this is someone's version of
this character so like what parts are originally this this is all
it's all about in case it's always in case right now you can see that all the
on the wings they have the detail part you can send me in the back how do you
then assemble this like other you follow the matching instructions or you have to
recognize where this piece goes actually they have is some ejections but they
just only can showed you which part put on somewhere but they don't have a son
exactly color yeah I need to gather some pan to pending all the colors are
choosing almost a 5 different green and the five different agree to try to penny
that is the looking some color is almost same but this do have a different very
subtle differences give it that when light bounces on it it just gives it a
different texture five different greens and five different Gray's on this I
can't imagine how long does this take to I can remember exactly but it's about a
300 to 400 hours wow that's really a labor of love that is so awesome and a
wonderful display as well I I didn't know there was such a world as the
garage kits for for Bandai for gunplay and it turns out if you want something
made that doesn't exist well the best way is to do it yourself and then share
it with the community thank you so much Sean people have I can
follow you new type you guys have a new page yeah site website is called a new
type HQ calm you type hq.com we love sharing gunplay projects and I'm sure
you have more kids would love to have you back ensure share more of your
projects in the future what's a pleasure to meet you alright
thank you thank you
you
