I love building model kits.

I paint them, though I don't use the colors specified on the instructions exactly. I mix the paints I have and get close enough. Right now I'm building the 00 Raiser. I finished the Raiser part of it, but I haven't started the 00 part yet. It's pretty warm upstairs, still, so I prefer to work up there in the mornings, but I've got something to do every morning this week. Hopefully I can get some more of it done before we go to Asheville.

I found a larger stack of kits than I thought I had, including a duplicate. I might just sell the Seed/Destiny ones. I'd intended to build the Blaze Zaku Phantom and paint it Dearka-custom, but I never got around to it, and now I have a ton of 00 kits to build. I might build Graham's Flag next, because I don't have the right greens for the Dynames. (I may sell the duplicate, or I may decide to paint it battle-damaged.)

And right now I'm avoiding writing a one-page synopsis.

I wish I was crafty/handy enough to build model kits. Alas, I am not. I cannot see the whole picture for the parts which means that I'm not good at painting before assembling. I envy you.

I generally paint subassemblies, unless they're multiple colors, in which case I paint the pieces then put them together when they're dry. I typically only paint one step at a time. It may not be the most efficient way to do it, but it works for me.
