 If you have any questions on building models, paints, etc., feel free to reach out.  I'm no pro, but I've learned some tips/tricks and found some good resources over the years.

One thing that I'd recommend, that I've learned the hard way, is to use plastic cement instead of any kind of super glue for assembling models.  Super glue breaks apart, but cement melts the plastic together and is much more robust.  You can also use it for smoothing and filling gaps.

Check out Tamiya Extra Thin Cement; it's my go-to.

For painting anything, check out Vince Venturella's Hobby Painting series on YT.  He has a video on how to paint almost anything.
