Practical Tips for Model Kit Builders
Once you’ve picked your model kit set, you need to plan out your build. Follow these tips to make your building process easier:
1.Organize Your Workspace: Use small containers or trays for parts and sort pieces before assembly, especially for more complex Gundam kits or 40k miniatures.
2.Plan Painting & Finishing: Decide on colours and finishing touches before starting. Use high-quality paints, such as Citadel Paint, for a polished, display-ready result.
3.Follow Instructions and Take Breaks: Take your time and pace yourself to enjoy the process without rushing.
4.Use Proper Tools: Quality cutters, tweezers, and brushes make assembly easier. Don’t forget to buy essentials like Model Kit Glues and remember, a little goes a long way.
Empire Team Insider Tip: For tiny parts, a toothpick or needle often works better than a fine-tipped applicator!
