Mecha Assembly eXperience

Someone recently called these carousels "mini-magazine articles," which I truly appreciate. 🙏 Small compliments like these really hit home and makes me thankful to be a part of an amazing community. 🤩 #Blessed 😅

This week, I sprayed the first layers of my 'Candy Midnight' intercoat—a thoughtful combination of Clear Orange, Purple, and Blue. I’m using these individual candy coats as a base for the various accents around the kit.

With that comes more rounds of "Masking Hell." While the process was mostly uneventful, one of my last pieces of tape pulled up a glitch stencil!

The truth is, all builds go sideways. It’s not the lack of mistakes that defines a builder; it’s the ability to pivot when they happen. Fortunately, this was an easy fix, as I had spare stencils on hand. #TheMoreYouKnow

As usual, I've included my exact recipes to take the guesswork out of your next session so you can focus on the fun part: the build. 🤩

In the middle of your own battle with tape and stencils? Let’s swap war stories in the comments.
