Some thing I'd thought I'd share.

This guy has restored faith in my building! It seems that these builders are given models and build them to their desires. This was the only Automotive one I found, but man does this man have skill!

Anyway just something I'd thought I'd share.

He has skills....but spraying his models in that open room with no spray booth makes him a rank idiot.

[AllAlone.Gz]

LOL! Yea, I was thinkin the same about the spray booth, but the more episodes i watched, it looked like most japanese builders dont use spray booths.Only 2 out of the 8 people I saw used booths.

Hmm...that was a bit of an eye opener for me.

Does everyone else have a similar painting technique with cans and ABs?

I've never seen anyone else painting before. I always get stressed out and treat everything like it was the crown jewels. I paint from further away, use longer (more wasteful) bursts.

This guy was speedy, short bursts and.....almost sort of chaotic. Butsince his final results were obviously 10 times better than mine, I can only assume he's "right" and I'm "wrong"

So how does his style compare to say Cadguy's, Veyron's, Micha's, Gio"s etc? I'd love to hear your comments. Are there any other films out there showing techniques?

[Vric]

For the clear spraycan, I paint just like this guy... For airbrush, I must say I'm much slower than him.

[bhop73]

I pretty much paint like him too.. no time to waste.. heh, heh I wear a respirator though since I don't want to die or coat my lungs with paint.

[fwdfreak]

Gotta agree with Vric.
But I'd say nothing TOO spectacular in his building tehniques and so on, didn't see anything new or amazing.
I do like his airbrush tho

Meh,don't care . Think like me: It's the polyurethane clear coat. It's from a japanease brand. Ours is from a different brand,that why the result is different!

[gionc]

I'm surprised by the polishing way he done: I'm pretty sure that those scooby would be full of thin scratch, looking from a close distance: he still using an hard and "violent" way to polish with wide movements. Yes the result seem good from a shitty camera but he done a lot of things against the "normal" way, for example masters reccomend to use airbrush with wide movemets ever from outside the subject, seem he's doing a german WWII cmouflage LOL

BTW the thing that surprised me more is that he spry in the room without booth, he dress a mask only with uretanic that smell less than a TS primer or laquer... pretty comic: surprised also he's stillalive at his age LOL

also seem some japan guy like good food LOL

[itrgtr]

that's pretty cool!

[chato de shamrock]

Watcha talkin' bout willis??? I also never use spray booths.

What caught my eye was spraying in a closed room and only used a mask one time. It looked sorta misty in there.

I also thought he was rubbing on the compound a bit rough, or am I just doing it too softly with my models? However, I did like the end result. Maybe I should start rubbing that hard. The way I do it just gets a small mirror shine.

My way of painting is long strokes from one end of the model to the other end. I back the model up about, hmm, i'd say two or three more inches. But its still closer than what many of you guys say you distance your model from your aerosol/airbrush.

[AllAlone.Gz]

If you look at the viewers other videos (click on his name on the side. His name is TMBountyHunter, or just type it in on the search bar) he has more videos where modelers build gundams, tanks, and dioramas. Theres this guy called Plamo Maestro, and hes got some scratch, technical, and painting skills. I want to see more of this show. Anyone can translate what this show is called?

[CeeElle]

how does he build a model in 20 minutes?

[hompe]

hehe he really uses a different technice than med i always have my models on the bench when i work on them! he has the in his hand

[bhop73]

Wow. I'm amazed that you guys find this guy's techniques surprising. They seem pretty normal to me.. The polishing looks rough, but if you're using the right grain of sandpaper, I don't see how it's any different from small movements other than covering more area.

As far as a spray booth goes, Just because it's not in the camera doesn't mean there's not one. I can't imagine anyone, especially a professional level modeler like the ones from this series, would be dumb enough to spray lacquers in a closed room.
