Modeling Process
Players choose a model, then snip parts, assemble step by step, and apply finishing touches before painting. The process emphasizes precision and satisfaction from each construction stage.
After assembly, you can paint with a wide palette, use an airbrush tool, add fine details, and apply decals to personalize the finished piece.
- Take time with the snipping stage; clean cuts make later assembly smoother.
- Experiment with both airbrush and fine‑detail brushes to discover preferred painting styles.

PhotoBooth Mode
When a model is complete, you can enter PhotoBooth mode to arrange it on various backgrounds, add effects, and create a showcase scene. This mode lets you stage multiple models together.
Completed scenes can be shared directly to social media, providing a way to display your creations beyond the game.
- Try different background lighting to highlight model details.
- Use effects sparingly to keep the focus on the craftsmanship of the model.

Tools & Customization
A variety of tools are available for precision work, including snipping, assembling, painting, airbrushing, and decal application. New tools can be unlocked to aid finer finishes.
Customization is open‑ended: you may follow the brief or “pimp up” models with extra paint, decals, and personal touches, limited only by the available palette.
- New tools unlock as you progress, so keep an eye on progression cues.
- Compare the effects of different decals to see which best complement your color scheme.
