Happy Saturday, NYC
Looking for something unique to do that isn't bar-related? If you missed our first speed build-and-paint event in Brooklyn on Aug 1st, we're giving away even bigger prizes on Aug 20th.
We have three prizes, including 2 x MG (Master Grade) kits, that we're giving away to the winners at the end of the night.
Rules are simple. Bring in a simple HG or EG kit (High Grade or Entry Grade), small enough to build and customize within a 4 hr timeframe.
You'll have full access to our studio's tools and equipment to help build out your model, along with expert instruction and help in case you get stuck.
Towards the end of the night, you'll be granted access to our pro photo booth to take photos of your finished models, before judging takes place.
You and attendees will vote in 3 categories: Best Overall Build, Best Paint Job, and Best Faction Spirit. 3x lucky winners will walk away with brand new kits.

Our first special event Zeon vs Federation last night was a lot of fun. Those that attended had their choice of kits to pick from at the end to take home as prizes. We had newbies and a couple of experienced builders and what made this fun is that new friends were made. Look forward to planning possibly a Pokemon themed event for September. Can't wait to host more cool events where we get NYC building together.
Hi everyone, still have 5 x tickets left for tonight's Zeon vs Federation Night. This is our 1st special event with some awesome prizes for attendees.
Rules are simple. Bring your easiest Zeon or Federation kits, (we're right next door to the Bandai Namco store in Industry City if you need a kit) and you'll have 4hrs to build and paint your kit to be judged by other attendees. Just bring your kits and some drinks, snacks will be included. This is perfect for the creative types out there.

Hi r/nycART
I'm Kev, a professional scale modeler and director of Brooklyn Buildz in Sunset Park—a new, dedicated model-building and miniature painting studio right next to Industry City. A place for creative makers, hobbyists, cosplayers, and anyone who loves creating with their hands to find a real community in NYC.
We host a few key events you might be interested in:
We also offer Airbrushing 101 workshops, private lessons, and studio rentals for those who want to work on their own projects in a professional, well-lit, and ventilated space.
Hope to see you at a build night soon! Link to my site HERE
3rd times a charm lol Just sent this beautiful kit back to its owner after completion. This Surveyor 3 Resin model from Real Space models is definitely one id recommend to any NASA buff. The details were amazing, will little to no valleys anywhere. All the pieces were smooth and easy to prime. The base was extremely textured and required little to show the grain on the surface. Highly recommend this.
Just finished up this beautiful Surveyor 3 Resin Model from RealSpace models and what a delight this was. This is my 2nd build for a customer that loves everything that has to do with space and NASA. The deatils were amazingly printed with no valleys anywhere. The astronauts look exactly like a real photo taken from the event. The best part was how detailed and textured the base was. Solid to the point where I needed to add very little to make it look like the real lunar surface. Would highly recommend this model to anyone that loves NASA related models.
👋 Neighbors,
We're hosting two events this week: one FREE and a special Zeon vs Federation Night at our studio in Sunset Park on Saturday, Aug 1, for anyone local who's got a creative streak. This is your chance to bring your backlogs and build with the local community.

Luckily the last two were stopped by a MTA employee and concerned passengers. This time on the B this afternoon from Midwood to Atlantic a pair of teenage kids I swear no more then 14, masked up walks towards the front of the train. No one to my surprise stood up or stopped them even though it was pretty obvious what they were up once they passed the sliding doors between cars. My blood boiled as I stood up and started walking towards them. One noticed and started to dart towards the first car, before getting trapped and blew by me. I open the doors and ask the riders now staring to alert the conductor that two kids are trying to climb up. Not a single person stood up to help. At which point I was furious. Finally caught up to one of them, only to give them a mouth full of, what they were thinking? If they knew how many other kids have died trying subways surf. Having a teenage son myself, the only thing that was running through my mind was, that God forbid my son ever was that dumb to do something like that, that people would intervene. I couldn't help once they ran off the next stop to scold the people that stood around and did nothing. WTF is going on? I wasn't the best teen boy in the world but wow. I swear I haven't had my blood boil like that in a long while.

Newbies are 100% welcome. Just looking for a reason to get out of the house and meet some creative neighbors.
It's definitely something different from paint and sips and your local sports bar.
