This is a compilation of YouTube resources for anyone of various hobbies (Gunpla, scale modeling, Warhammer, etc.) to watch and learn from.
I recommend trailing through different hobby videos as these skills can often be transferred to one another. If you would like to add a channel, feel free to message me on any of my social media accounts or here!
