SkillSwap: Tiny Plastic Robot Models 101
SkillSwap is a barter-based education series featuring workshops on a variety of topics. There is no monetary registration fee; instead, each instructor suggests items or services they will accept in exchange for class participation.
Our volunteer instructors prepare based on how many people sign up, so PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP IF YOU WILL ACTUALLY ATTEND.
Class Description
During this class, you will be introduced to the addictive world of Plamo (an abbreviated portmanteau of plastic models) - focusing on the Gundam series by Bandai. By the end of this lesson you will have built your own tiny, plastic model robot and will have learned some basic paint and weathering techniques to add depth to your models.
Age restrictions
15 and up, please - we will be using hobby knives

About the Instructor
From a young age, Matt Ensminger has loved Japanese robots. In fact, he still has an original Voltron figure from his childhood. He can also distinctly remember his first Plamo that his father bought him at a long-closed hobby shop in York. In recent years, Matt has re-discovered his love of model kits, often finding the assembly to be an almost meditative process.
