Hello everyone and welcome to the beginning of my free inquiry project log! For this first post, I will just be discussing my plans for my project, what it is about, and why I chose to do this.
For my free inquiry, I will be honing my model-kit-making skills by applying various airbrushing and painting techniques to give my completed model some extra flair. First of all, what kind of model am I making? A hobby of mine is building plastic model kits called “gunpla,” which are scale plastic models of mecha (robots) from the anime Mobile Suit: Gundam. Building these is incredibly fun in its own right, but sometimes they still look too “plasticky” as a finished product. I’ve always wanted to give one of mine a nice looking premium finish that will make it a little more real-feeling; and that is the goal of my free inquiry project.
In a nutshell, the steps include preparing the parts, priming them, painting and finally, assembling the final model. To do all of this, I will be following some guides on YouTube from creators 몽몽(gseyun) and Nao. These videos also have some good before and after references for how my project will (hopefully) turn out.
I’m looking forward to seeing how this project will turn out and sharing the progress with you all!
