Would you say gaming is your hobby or more lifestyle? How about marinating the two into a hobbyist simulator type thang called Model Builder, coming to PC later in the year.

From Moonlit S.A. and Green Man Gaming, the title is a virtual hobby simulator that unites fans of the past-time and newcomers to scale model building. Growing up in this environment, I understand how passionate enthusiasts can be and the rewards it can offer.

Model Builder follows those paths as besides the immediate satisfaction of constructing a model from scratch; you can enter competitions in the proposed title too. There’s even a story mode?! From historical memorabilia through to pop culture, there will be something here for everyone. The Spitfire is something I’m looking forward to most.

Key features in Model Builder include:

  • Choose your models – Choose from vehicles, historical memorabilia, figures and pop culture and earn experience to unlock more models, or paint your favourite models again in a different or unique style.
  • Become a master builder – Choose the model that you want to create, feel the satisfaction of snipping out the model parts and build your model step by step. Finally, apply the finishing touches so it’s ready for painting.
  • The right tools for the job – You have a wide variety of tools available in your toolkit – everything you will need to assemble your impressive models and make them shine. You will be able to unlock new tools to help with precision work and finishes so you will feel like a pro in no time.
  • Customise – Now it’s time to get creative! Do you stick to the brief, or make the model your own and pimp it up? With plenty of paint to choose from, a choice of airbrush tools as well as fine detail brushes and impressive decals at your disposal, the sky’s the limit! 
  • Showcase your masterpieces – Once your model is complete, it’s not the end! You can create stunning and exciting scenes by arranging your model (or models) in a diorama, or showcase them in the photo booth and share them for the world to see.
  • Exciting story mode – Go on a fascinating journey in the footsteps of your grandfather Leon and his achievements by unlocking secrets of the past. Take on model building commissions and enter competitions on your journey to become a world class model builder.
