>>11628765>I'm begging you. Buy an airbrush compressor setupNah. Air brushing is lame and gay. The entire appeal of gunpla and plamo in general is you get to work with your hands and relax for a bit. Being able to just jump into it right out of the box, only really needing a sprue cutter and MAYBE a sanding stick is a benefit. With a cumbersome airbrush you have to worry about the loud compressor, a dedicated workspace, breathing in all kinds of chemicals, drying time, spending even more money on paints, coats, primers, etc. Sometimes it's just nice to assemble a cool robot and then play around with it. Not everything needs to be an extravagant art project. And if you're feeling THAT faggy then a wash/marker, dry brush and top coat are all you need.
>Just fucking build your ownWhy buy gunpla kits? Just build your own gundam out of plastic sheets.
People have a limited amount of time. It takes time and practice to make nice Lego builds. The designers themselves get paid a crazy amount for that. Managing a big bricklink order is tedious as shit and comes with all kinds if headaches when you can just buy a box with all the things needed inside to build something which you know for sure you like the look of, has a nice build quality and has been tested. Most people posting instructions on rebrickable haven't even physically built their own stuff and the thing might fall apart or just straight up be physically impossible to follow.
Blow it out your ass.
