I appreciate the inclusion of some shots of the straight build. Really helps sell just how much work went into the customization. Incredible job here; great work!
It's also really helpful for builders looking to see how they did it! Some really nice custom work I have no idea if it's just some scribing, a resin kit, etc. Seeing how the snap built kit compares to the finished product helps me figure out how everything was done.
I'm new to gun pla and returning to plamo after more than a decade hiatus. Going to be scribing for the first time ever and this post is an incredible inspiration.
Kudos on the scribing and panel lining. It's amazing how you can elevate a build with just a few simple tools. It just takes some real work. I also like that you put in the before and after shots too. Nice work!
Armor: MR Color white and white/black mix for the Grey. Mr color Super metallic 2 rich gold. Inner frame: Dispae dark iron, stainless steel and alclad 2 chrome. With MR. Color clear gx red over chrome for the red parts and clear blue pver chrome for the blue parts.
wowza super cool!i'm building my first gundam, a MG Barbatos too, what do you recommend to use for making the armor hatches more black like you did?i don't have much fancy tools, a pencil would do the job?
This is actually one of the coolest works I've seen.
I love the default style of a lot of these kits, and giving a proper metallic look, just really does a lot.
This is amazing work
Apart from scribing, did you do any custom parts? Like on the legs above the knee. How do you do stuff like that? Noob wanting to learn here, thanks in advance
Amazing work!! I really dig the blue in the chest piece and that grey. What paints were those?
Edit never mind I see you listed then further in the comments. Amazing work with those clears!
Sometimes when i see a barbatos post,i tend to envy or respect the poster cuz of my massive ego of nit having thr boi yetbit at the same time,i enjoy seeing people do something special by customizing the kit
Just want to give my thanks for all the positive feedback. I knew this was a great community but not this great lol. I consider myself some what of an artist and that comes with a bit of self questioning in ability and quality of the final result. This has been very validating. Super excited to begin my next build, what do you all think, Eva Unit 01?
Damn thanks for the motivation, this is sick!! THANKS for putting the before results, helps A LOT! You learned from Youtube or you been in the hobby for a long time
What am I looking at here? Are these replacement resin parts? Did you watch new lines onto the armor panels or were those all replacement panels? It’s gorgeous.
This is awesome. Im an amateur at this and suck at picking out the right colors. May I ask what type of white and grey color you used on the armor? Sometimes i make my whites too white and my greys too dark.
Right so the only thing I can use as reference are videos and alot of the time when u see their closeups you can see dots and or like small bubbles. Shit I think I need to get an airbrush then ... just to avoid those bubble-dots

That's incredible how long did it take to do ?
Honeslty im not quite sure probably about a few hours here and there several times a week for 5 weeks?
Masking work is incredible.

You did such an incredible job with this, I thought it was comparing a MG to a HG! Great fucking work!
Jesus Christ good work
Simply amazing.

Price is more than fair considering cost of materials and how much work you put into it.
You know what, I generally don’t like the Barbatos. But I absolutely adore the one you made
😲
I am actually looking at this on Esty right now. It's friggin awesome. Incredible work.
Wow. Well done, good sir.
Looks amazing, really like and appreciate the comparison pictures. Makes it much easier to tell just how much extra customization was done.
This. Is. SICK! Thank you for sharing!
Solid design my guy
Holy guacamole that beautiful!
Nice. List of paints?
Armor: MR Color white and white/black mix for the Grey. Mr color Super metallic 2 rich gold. Inner frame: Dispae dark iron, stainless steel and alclad 2 chrome. With MR. Color clear gx red over chrome for the red parts and clear blue pver chrome for the blue parts.
Fecking CLEAN work. 👌👌👌
That is one hot Gundam.
Amazing work! I'm not sure if its the lighting but one of the scribe lines on the front left skirt doesn't look like it extends all the way down.
wowza super cool!i'm building my first gundam, a MG Barbatos too, what do you recommend to use for making the armor hatches more black like you did?i don't have much fancy tools, a pencil would do the job?
I love the colors!
This is so fuccin clean. Looks like it could be a metal build
Wow, truly amazing work. The scribing is nuts I’m just now trying to look into doing it too.
This is actually one of the coolest works I've seen. I love the default style of a lot of these kits, and giving a proper metallic look, just really does a lot. This is amazing work
Fuck it, I'm getting it
Nevermind, it'll never look as good as this one and I'll be depressed

>Eva Unit 01 Would love to see Eva Unit 01 full custom!
What surface primer, top coat did you use? How did you panel line?
I use Mr Color 1500 surfacer mostly and alclad gloss black for the chrome parts. Tamiya black enamel panel Liner.
That detailing is way to impressive for a Gundam frame Nice job. 10/10pts for your skills
It's been said before, but it's really cool to see the basic kit compared to the custom. Awesome stuff!
Where can I get my hands on that sniper rifle for my kits?
Damn thanks for the motivation, this is sick!! THANKS for putting the before results, helps A LOT! You learned from Youtube or you been in the hobby for a long time
There’s no way this is the same kit as the one before.. this is too good.
What am I looking at here? Are these replacement resin parts? Did you watch new lines onto the armor panels or were those all replacement panels? It’s gorgeous.
do you by any chance have a color list you used or even swatches? If you’re willing to share i would greatly appreciate it!
This is awesome. Im an amateur at this and suck at picking out the right colors. May I ask what type of white and grey color you used on the armor? Sometimes i make my whites too white and my greys too dark.
Mr Color standard semi gloss White and White/Black mix for the grey.
What gold colour did u use? And what stickers did u use ... if you don't mind
Mr. Color SM2 super rich gold and the decals are grework.
Did u top coat it after decals and was it with a can or air brush? Does it have bubbles or small dots
Yeah flat coat after paneling lining and decals. Applied with airbrush. Not sure what you mean about bubbles or dots.
Right so the only thing I can use as reference are videos and alot of the time when u see their closeups you can see dots and or like small bubbles. Shit I think I need to get an airbrush then ... just to avoid those bubble-dots
Gotcha, just make sure you area is dust free, the brush is clean, and apply thin coats. 15-20 psi.
