Man, I wish I could speak Japanese. I may have learned something just watching the videos.

The person that posts these videos, has a slew of them. While I do not understand the audio, I can appreciate the video. The products used and how other builders use them. I find it curious how some of these builders treat their airbrushes.

loved every bit of it especially where the rainbow was put and the smoke from the cigarette very good and how they mix paint is really something but i don't think i would do it that way spent way to much on my air brushes.

Exactly ..... I think the audio is hilarious sometimes .... havent a word of Japanese myself either, but the enthusiasm sometimes for 30 year old kits and the amount of advertising throughout ..... brings to mind the film Woody Allen made, where he dubbed a whole new text over a Chinese film. I always find little ideas or hints on a technique in these, that makes them worthwhile.
Its quite amazing to see the dio come together ... in one way it looks quite rough sometimes, and very little attention paid to areas that I would normally spend days on .... but the finished scene does look good.

I think this looks more extreme than what it actually is. Its only acrlyic paint, and will clean away quite easy. Cant understand how they can brush-paint with thinned tamiya paint though, and it covers perfectly in one go???

Ok, let me get this right... this guy "works" in what looks like the biggest and best stocked model shop in the world, and gets to choose what he wants from the stock, to build whatever he fancies, as long as he does it in front of the customers...

Thanks Frank.
That was amazing to watch, I only wish I understood Japanese to have got the whole effect. I loved the detour to Miniature Park in ep.3
Anyone know the name of the book he uses for his SS reference? It looks like quite a useful guide.
Have bookmarked his stuff, and will have to make an effort to watch the rest soon

I want to see the tutorial (if one exists) for that diorama with the Japanese tanker being pulled from his T95.
