A few years ago, the demand for staying at home led to an increase in the number of people interested in model making. Among these, the popularity of “Gunpla,” the plastic model of “Mobile Suit Gundam,” shows no signs of slowing down, with the huge success of “Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch of Mercury” and the release of “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-” attracting new fans and rekindling fans. So in this issue of Monthly Hobby Japan, we have a special feature on detail-up techniques that are useful for Gunpla production!

Detail-up is one of the joys of model making. However, there are probably many people who don’t know what to do specifically, or who have something they want to do but don’t know how to do it.

We’ll explain detail-up techniques specialized for each theme.

Please take a look at these tips that are sure to be useful in your Gunpla making life!
