>>7194173Billy+Morliden so there's a door to close (time for some more light in there btw), vacuum&mop the floors once a week so there isn't that much dust around in the first place.
>>7194330You can always start with just a small step from gunpla and start with something else form Bandai, like their Star Wars kits. That allows you (and the noob) to start off wherever you want on the scale from unpainted snapfit to PE upgrades and the full array of painting and weathering. Otherwise, as has been said, a Tamiya Pz.II or so is probably a good start kit-wise. Maybe find a spray can for the main colour so you won't have to worry about airbrushing or trying to hand paint a good coat at first.
Tools in general can be a bit of a headache though, as too much will indeed be overwhelming, but having to make do without the right tools can also be a bad experience.
>>7194342It'll fully cure some day, because the solvent can wriggle through the solid plastic. How long it takes, well, that depends on a lot of stuff. How much solvent, how far it has to creep out, temperature, additives in the plastic, exact solvent mixture...
Thicker cement can be very useful if the surfaces you want to stick to each other aren't perfectly matched up. The plastic dissolved in the thicker glue helps fill the gaps. The thicker glue can also be a bit "stickier and stronger" initially, helping you get some things attached where extra thin would first need to dissolve some plastic to get to work.
>>7194350Cement and putty fumes rarely register much with me. If I do a lot of work with them I might put on my mask. When it's time to start feeding the airbrush lacquer thinner I may also put on another sweater, some slippers, and open the door even if it's a good bit below freezing outside.
>>7194360Drunks and teenagers do the darnedest things. Drunk teenagers, well, the house didn't burn down. That's something.
