About
Who is Smoon Kits?
I am a Mexican hobbyist with more than 20 years of experience in modeling. I work with resin models, and have submitted my work to diorama and modeling contests, such as E20’s contests and more. My work is handmade, and my main painting tools are brushes and airbrushes. I can also fix figures if by any reason the pieces are faulty. Even though they may take a while, my works are made with care and love!
What is a "Garage Kit"?
LA garage kit in modeling is a scale model figure or kit, usually made out of resin. They are often based on pop culture characters, such as anime characters, comic characters, video game characters, and even popular films. Oftentimes these figures can be more accessible than those made by big companies, and are known for their creativity and attention to detail. Moreover, they can be combined with mock ups and dioramas, to make them look, well, cool!
Types
As said before, usually these kits can be cast on resin, polyurethane resin, but other materials can be used such as plastic (although these are more expensive in their production and can lack some more detail and quality, since they are massed produced). There are also some based on scales, such as 1:100, 1:60, 1:12, 1:10, 1:8, 1:7, 1:6, 1:5, 1:4 and even 1:3 (heads up though! 1:100 is a small figure and 1:3 is a big figure! As for who these figures depict, as said before, it’s usually pop culture characters or objects (like robots), or even original works!
