Inside The Model Assemble Art

We discuss how we do things, what we learned, and how we came to these conclusions after a few builds. Articles are the perfect way to learn a bit more about model assembly than a tutorial, but not as much as a manual.

How ModelAssembleArt Began

ModelAssembleArt was originally designed as an online portal to share information about model assembly as an art form. A place where we experiment, observe, and share the way we convert a bunch of parts into a model that will later become a work of art with practice.

Assembly Experiences

“The step-by-step structure clarified decisions I used to rush. The process emphasizes calm focus and made complex assemblies feel controlled and intentional.”
Tsukishiro MisoraScale model assembly
“What stood out was the methodology. Each stage builds confidence, reducing mistakes and creating a rhythm that carries through the entire build.”
Takanashi EitoPrecision-focused builds
“The approach changed how I see mistakes. Instead of setbacks, they became checkpoints that improved accuracy and overall confidence over time steadily.”

Guiding Voices

The ModelAssembleArt principles are a set of guidelines that advocate for careful and well thought model assembly, materials, and repetitive techniques. The principles are taught based on practice and are simple, direct, and easy to learn, allowing us to practice the art of model assembly, and get good at it, but not complicated.
