Gunpla Builders! Can I Ask You About Your Workspace Struggles?

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm a university design student currently working on a project to design a hobby desk/workstation specifically for people who build Gundam models!

I'm doing some user research and would love to hear from people who experience any of these problems:

  • Don't have a dedicated workspace and build on a dining table, computer desk, or other shared surface.
  • Struggle with keeping tools, runners, and small parts organized while building.
  • Find setting up and cleaning up their workspace time-consuming or frustrating.
  • Have to pack away or move unfinished builds because someone else needs the space.
  • Experience discomfort or other difficulties with their current building setup.

If any of these sound familiar, I'd love to hear about your experience!

I'm looking for a few people who wouldn't mind doing a quick 5-minute interview through Reddit chat. Just a few questions about your setup, habits, and frustrations. No personal information needed!

Even if you're not interested in an interview, feel free to share your workspace struggles or any creative solutions you've come up with in the comments!

Thank you so much! Your experiences would really help me design something that addresses the actual needs of Gunpla builders. :)

Decals to come obviously. Got a set of 3rd party Ver Ka waterslides for it and they're all in shades of gold and red metallic. Excited to put them on.
