HOBBY
Joseph and I have been constantly building and collecting plastic model kits since 2015.
There’s a different kind of joy in having to cut each plastic model kit pieces, build it part by part (head, bust, legs, arms) following the model kit manual, and see it unfold into awesome, cool display figures in the form of mecha or mobile robots such as gundam or zoids.
You could cut then build your model kits and you’re done, but if you wanted to go into much detail, you could spray paint or coat it first.
Check out how we do it!
