P-VLOG: Wolsung SSG Gigantic Golem – From Parts To Painted
Welcome one and all to another great From Parts To Painted P-VLOG. In this one we'll be seeing the fantastic Gigantic Golem from Wolsung SSG by Micro Art Studios being built and painted by John.
We've loved playing around with this kit and it's great to see it going through all the different steps here with John showing off building and painting techniques YOU can use too.
Will this monstrous machine turn out just as intended or will it take on a life all of it's own?
Follow on to find out!
Warren's First Thoughts For The Colour For The Golem
Warren steps in to talk with John about how he feels about the colours going onto the Gigantic Golem.
While he has his own thoughts how would you approach thinking about the main colours for this beast?
Catching Up On Progress With Warren
Warren comes to visit John and find out how he has been progressing with the series so far.
Are you impressed with the look of the Golem at the moment?
How Will We Take The Armour To The Next Level?
Warren is back with John to talk about taking the armour to the next level. With the base coat done we need to work on the next step to make it pop.
The glossy green combined with the brass is a great look and the end result is fantastic. I’m not sure how you resisted the urge to weather the crap out of it, though!
Terrific work @johnlyons. That’s a really impressive finish. I wondered on a couple of things. Do you recommend going over preshades with inks? I’ve found when I’ve preshaded something and then tried to add colour the finish always looks a bit insipid. Your green looks very strong though. Also what steps do you take to spray gloss through your airbrush? Do you thin the gloss and what kind of pressure do you use? I apologise if I missed this. I’m chock full of a cold and dog tired.
Anyway, thanks again for another great parts to painted.
We really enjoyed watching that and a real treat to see something different, always like me a robot ever since I had em as a kid cheap Japanese toy that sparked real sparks onto a carpet, you could set on fire the green final horse racing results paper which was printed on stuff so thing you would get a sun burn through. Worth a fortune mint with a box nowadays. Going to get me some robots and scratch build some others. By the way Warren you were wrong and now its finished John you should go back and get that… Read more »
Very awesome looking model. Congrats on a great job.
On the assembly I would of only stuck down one foot. Then after building one leg up, it would of made making the second leg easier and more flexible.
Very nice project, love the panitjob. But I think you should have insisted to make the lights blue. This golem will be my next purchase at Micro Arts Studio. And I’m realy tempted to finaly getting an airbrush.
this was the first from parts to painted I’ve watched.. I sort of agree with Warren’s choice of the yellow. I think it could have been done a little better, other then that detail this thing looks magnificent.
Stunning
massive thumbs up on these vlogs!
Thank you for taking me on that great journey of yours @johnlyons
I loved this tutorial – I’d love to see more airbrush work. in future pieces.
A question that I would have is when @warzan showed off @loyd ‘s old lledo cars, how come he didn’t have the Dad’s army vans? I’ve go these as a transport for the bolt action figures.
Bang!, two three
Bang, two, three!
So cool! This model is still on my wish list and I will admit to finding it a rather intimidating undertaking but this series has really broken that down. Now the steam engines of creativity are running in my mind and I have all kinds of ideas but foremost is lifting your smoke technique straight out of the tutorial. Thanks @johnlyons for an inspiring vlog that has me saving up to get one of these kits for myself.
