Description This will be a pretty simple guide, because I'm not really talking about how to make a contest winning model. Instead, I'm looking at showing you how to build a model that will work for your art. I still want to cover the basics of cleaning up sprue joints and flash and whatnot, as well as basic safety.

I need to practice drawing comic pages, and I've been trying to draw a page a week for that practice. I figured that this time I'd draw an instructional comic. In this case, I want to teach a bit about how to build scale models. I think models can be quite useful for an artist, but building them does require a few skills and tools. I hope that this little series can help explain what is needed and how you can build models. This isn't about building contest winners, but rather how to build models you'd find use for in your art.

At first I thought it was a joke then it turned real- it's like my lifeΒ

I figure I can't be the only artist who needs help with visualizing objects from various angles, and building scale models is one skill I managed to pick up. Hopefully I can pass on a bit of what I've learned to anyone else who would like to know.
