Hi Everyone!
Welcome back to my channel
And welcome to
Part 2
Of my Gunpla vlog
Right now it's 9:20am
I'm about to go and meet up with Talay
and then we're going to go to Yoon's house
Yoon's house is a little bit far away
so Talay will be driving again today
Thank you <3
Just to recap
for those of you who don't know what Gunpla is
Gunpla are these
plastic
Gundam figurines
I've never made one before
but I'm really excited
last night I spent a lot of time
watching Gunpla tutorials on YouTube
So I have a general idea
What I'm in store for today
Yesterday we asked Yoon how long it would take
to build them
Yoon said it will take approximately
5-6 hours
So it's going to take most of the day
Before I head out
Don't forget to press like
if you like the video
it's lets me and YouTube know you like it
And also leave me a comment down below
if there's any other hobbies you'd like me to try
or any models, figurines or Gunpla
that you'd like me to make
Okay
Let's Go!
Right now I'm at
The secret meeting spot
I got here a little bit early
so Talay is still on the way
While I'm waiting I'm watching NBA
Today is also super hot
Let me just check on my phone
It's 34 degrees
So it's not as hot as it was yesterday
but it's a little bit earlier in the day
Today's high will be 36 degrees
which is the same as yesterday
Right now it's almost 10am
I'm sure by around 12-1pm
It should get up to 36 degrees
Yesterday while I was watching Gunpla videos on YouTube
I could feel
the fire burning within me
of wanting to start a new hobby
but...
I don't think I'm going to take this up super seriously
(you said what now?)
I would love to
but I don't have anywhere to put them
It's kind of a space killer
But I think I'll just make this
'A Sometimes Thing'
Hey Bro
Before we go to Yoon's house
we're going to get some coffee
It's essential for starting the day
(Talay's Twitter Hashtag)
We got our coffee
It's not sweet right?
Just a little bit
Just a little is okay
We just got to Yoon's house
We're about to head into Yoon's...
let's call it Yoon's laboratory
Hello hello hello
Is the light shining in the camera?
Just a bit
but it's okay you still look good
I'm just going to get some stuff from the car
Okay, see you in a bit
Now we're in Yoon's gaming/model room
Let me show you some of Yoon's figurines
They're really cool
Perth!
Hulk!
It's called Nargacuga (Monster from Monster Hunter)
It's the perfect solution for people
with cat allergies like me
(It's name is Gai Tom
which means 'boiled chicken')
How much did it cost?
A little over 10000 baht ($320 USD)
Wow!
But that price was really cheap
That was already cheap?
Usually they cost from 20000 to 30000 baht
It's gets more wrinkly the older gets right?
Probably
Is it affectionate?
A little bit
He likes to sleep on people
Don't step on my Destiny Gundam!
You are my peasant now
Yoon's going to teach us how to put the Gundam together
There are so many of these
You should spread them out all over the floor
Then pick the ones you need
Let's open them!
Wooooow
There's so many
You're done?
Yep, all done
Okay, Perth let's go home
See these little nubs
we need to smooth/cut them off
by using the knife
Yes. It needs to be really sharp.
Gently shave pieces off
If we used sandpaper instead
we need to use 3 different types right?
Yes, you need to use different levels of roughness
There's so many details
Let's just keep it basic
You need to do this for every piece
that's why it takes so long
We need to do this for every piece!?
Yep
But if you're not that serious then you don't need to
But we're serious
That's right
If we get tired then we can just stop doing it
Don't cut your finger
That wasn't too bad
You're going to hold it like that?
You feel more comfortable cutting like that?
How do you usually do it?
I'm worried you're going to cut your finger
Ooooooooooh
Like a professional
But just do whatever feels best
But before it looked like you were going to cut yourself
So after...
Lay how many h-h-h-hou
hours have we been doing this?
Just one hour
Yo!
We've been doing this for one our
and this is what I've done so far
We got the chest done
Chest part!
It's been an hour already
so we're going to have a little break
and have some lunch
Already starting to feel tired
Finished the chest
and next is...
the head
Let's do our best
Just finished making the head
next is...
the arms
Right now it's 5pm
and we started at 11.30am
So it's been roughly 5 and a half hours
We haven't even done half of the model
Still haven't done the waist
Still haven't done the legs
Right?
You've gotta make the weapons too
Yep, so we haven't even done half yet
We're not going to get it done today
we have to come back one more day
because we were planning on painting too
We're going to finish the arms
then go home
and come back again
But Talay you got a lot done
You look exhausted
My back is really sore
I know how you feel
I got about this much done today
It looks great
I'll do the rest at home
I've never made anything this high grade before
The highest grade I've ever made is
HG (High Grade)
We're done for today
This is all I got done
You did the top half
The opposite of you
That's right. I only made the bottom
with no head
and no shoulders
So I'm going to finish this off at home
Then bring it back to Yoon's and then paint
Perth's one looks so good
Thanks
Just got back from Yoon's house
and I'm super exhausted
It's crazy
at first we thought we could get it done in 5-6 hours
the whole thing
building
applying all the stickers and decals
and doing the painting
and we were only able to get around half of the figure done
Sitting around and concentrating for 5 hours
on these tiny little pieces,
cutting them out and shaving all the bits off
and putting them together
required way more concentration than I thought
So my brain feels completely fried at the moment
Actually I think...
I might need to go and get my eyes tested
I might need glasses
my vision isn't blurry
but I feel like it's taking more concentration power than usual
to focus on the tiny pieces
It was really fun making the Gunpla
But I think what made it more fun was
making it with friends
Doing it by myself is very fun and calming
But doing with friends is fun because
we can compare our progress
and funny things keep happening
people losing parts
and small parts flying off everywhere
it was a little bit chaotic but really fun
At first we were only planning on doing Part 1 and Part 2
Part 1 was the buying
Part 2 was the assembly
But now there will be a Part 3
So Talay, Yoon and I will build them separately
then once we've finished making them
Back to Yoon's house one more time
Then he'll help us paint them
I hope you guys enjoyed today's VLOG
and be on the look out for Part 3
coming soon
As always thanks for watching
and I'll see you guys next time
See ya!
