tips for aspiring kickass gundam modellers

there are two very important rules to remember when you're going to build a gundam model:

1. don't start assembling anything before you decide to paint the damn thing
2. DON'T START ASSEMBLING ANYTHING BEFORE YOU DECIDED TO PAINT THE DAMN THING

yeah...much unnecessary stress has been caused by my decision to paint AFTER i assembled 10 parts


also

you shouldn't paint a model if you're ocd

i've painted and then thinned about 5 pieces because they didn't look perfect

they probably looked fine

but not to me


i've come up with the following rules for making a part look really sexy (if you
screwed it up the first time):

1. thin it
2. paint it
3. ink it
4. glue it
5. don't look at it again until you have to start assembling


so,
yeah

keep that advice in mind in case you decide to ever paint a model, you lazy bums

you bums know who you are
