60 of 184 · most liked firstIt's fun, I enjoyed playing it for the 4 hours I played. Completely assembled and PERFECTLY painted the first 4-5 models like a boss. Logged back in a couple days later and all my completed models in the display cases are now unpainted. This was "being worked on this hour" back in February. I don't feel like spending hours perfecting a model just to wonder if I'll ever see it again. When you have to post and pin a "12 step program" on how to properly save your game, no thanks. Maybe give it a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR the game is too buggy to be worth even a discount cost. Model manuals bug so you can not finish models and lock progress in the game, models you finish don't save right so whatever work you complete doesnt matter and the devs themselves really dont care about fixing it. ------------------- I really like the premise of the game, its pretty relaxing to just build and paint them without having the spend the real life money. That being said, this game is not worth it at all. What is the two…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good but we need to download different models from the workshop
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a great game for people who want to get into modeling or don't have time/space. PROS + CONS as of 11/10/22 PRO - Great looking models - RL Products and tools - realistic tools and steps - Save mid builds - Nice looking environments - willing to add what the fans want, Ex. taking the discord chat and putting in models we like Suggestion- Add workshop support or get more company's attention to join CONS - No Priming, like spraying with a can (theres semi priming) - Requires at least a rtx 2070…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It would be more accurate to call the game "Model Painter". The building of the models is extremely basic. Click to remove item from sprue then drag the thing on the thing to glue it together. That's literally all there is to the assembly. The painting has many more cool features, so if you like that, then this game could be fun for you. There's good wash and drybrush effects, along with some neat special effects like rust and mud. Not sure if I can even recommend this game. Assembly -…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honestly will just do a short review: Positives: + Cozy game to just sit down and paint + Easy to get into and focus So so: ~ Sometimes too easy, which may limit creative freedom for example with the dry brushing only working on designated spots. Perfect scores is like "Ah yes you followed bare minimum 5 stars!!!" Negative: - The music... hate it - Lack of models, especially cus the game is so dead now - No mod support - Can't export the photos of the model??? like whats the point? - No…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY MODEL BUILDER!!! as a big time scale modeller, I can say that this game is NOTHING like building a real model. to start, they promised Apaches, BF-109s, a couple more tanks, sounds great, right? NOPE! none of that content is in the steam version of the game. they lied, got lazy, and just made a money grab. SHAME on the devs. I expected better of you. make a good game, make a playable game, or make nothing at all. it's quite stupid how lazy they got, really. add more of the promised…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →while i like the idea and concept, i cant recommend it as while they promised a lot, they haven't updated since November 2023. games dead. just buy a real model
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good concept with disappointing execution. Model variety is slim, although there is a wide range of subject matter so whether your're into planes, cars, trains, or gundam you'll probably find at least some representation in this game. And you have enough paints and tools to make an incredibly diverse menagerie of pieces. However, its all very surface level. There's only two airplanes, a spitfire and a hurricane which is underwhelming given how big a presence aircraft have in real model…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am so confused. Why doesn't this game have more reviews and purchases? It's such a fun game. Although I only have .5 hours logged, I can see myself wanting to play more of it. Many moons ago, I told my husband that I wanted someone to develop a game like this one, except for DIY Dollhouses. Have you guys ever thought of developing that? I feel like many dollhouse lovers would love it! It's very similar to this... Some days, I don't feel like making such a mess while crafting. Some days, I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i enjoy the game, since it lets me partake in my hobby while lacking a place for it irl, however, as of the time of this review, there is a bug in the game that for me and many others, seems to have effectively bricked it. neither verifying file integrity or wiping and reinstalling fixes this. until this is fixed, this review shall be negative.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to recommend this game, I did but out of the blue I've gotten a bug that means the game doesn't launch. I have reinstalled it and deleted every trace. It does nothing. Other people are also having this problem Additionally the company may be on the verge of collapsing due to legal drama.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It isn't a horrible game, but there really isn't anything to it...you build virtual models clicking on the the colors when they tell you and adding the pieces when they tell you. You basically just follow instructions and there isn't any creativity in it. Got bored after a few models. Might be worth half what they ask for it if this kind of game appeals to you but not more than that imo.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Damn 100% finally, only took 53 hours :| I mean of course I enjoyed it, but it's littered in bugs/glitches and overall just dumb controls/game play, but once you accept that you're never going to be able to make a perfect model (it literally doesn't let you/the tools don't work as they "should" etc), then you'll enjoy the challenges. I have to say the $50,000 achievement is brutal, especially when completing the Career Mode only puts you at about $20,000 earned. So you gotta make over double…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →as an avid model maker I really enjoyed this game for experimenting with various paint jobs, but now it's just dead, and the actual model assembly is way too smooth and automatic.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ihave arthritis a in my hands this game makes it so much easier to make models so i can enjoy one of my favourite hobbies
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beware. Could be that it crashes already at loading screen. Lot`s of people have this problem. No - i mean it - no chance to keep it running. No word from the developers. Buy yourself an analog Modelkit and have fun with it,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The gameplay is fine but I have had multiple projects not be counted as complete or deleted or corrupted after saving and coming back, I want to like this game but I am tired of redoing entire models because the game has a bug somewhere that can't keep my mission progress even though it keeps the models. An overall infuriating experience, I cannot recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the building, absolutely HATE the painting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is unfinished work, as of 4/12/2023 First off, this is not a bad game at all. There's definitely a lot of effort behind this, and it's potential is quite limitless. The problem I see is you very often spend too little time doing interesting thing like cutting, assembling, and applying base paint; and then the frustration comes when you try to apply certain 'special' details. For example, the tanks are awesome. There's a fair amount of detail and they look impressive. But when you try to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a fine game for a long time. But at some point within the last year or so, an update completely broke the game, and now it constantly crashes before reaching the main menu. The devs have been completely absent, and the issue remains unsolved. Avoid picking this up until AFTER the issue is fixed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was genuinely enjoying this, until a fatal crash that, up until now only occasionally occurred during potential startup, deleted a model I had worked 5 hours on. I can't trust the game if it's gonna kill something I spent so much bloody time on. I don't know if it was a one-time freak accident but one is too many.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: +Various different missions +Different models +Customize how you want +Clear Story Cons: -Ranomdly crashes when starting the game occasionally -Wrapping something is with no clear instructions -Pieces do not load during He's the bad guy mission Conclution: Due to crashes and pieces not loading i can't recommend this game. If it gets fixed in future updates im willing to change my review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game. I love model building but it can get expensive and you don't always have room for them. This would be a great alternative if it worked. Unfortunately, it just wont run. It starts to load and just crashes. Can't even make it to the main menu. Now, I don't have a great PC but even trying to run it through Nvidia Geforce NOW, it crashes at the same point. Glad I only spent a couple bucks on cdkeys
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's literally PC Building Simulator but for the plastic models hobby. However I feel like PC Building Simulator captured the essence of the task much better than this. This seems like a weak approximation of the craft, although I won't claim any real life knowledge of model building, I'm still using LEGO. It's a great idea at a fair price. I would have paid more and been more enthused about a further developed sim, but I get it. I'll give it a lazy thumb sort of up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since I only have the option to recommend it or not I have to go with "no" I've done my share of models in the 30 years I build them and I thought this could be an interesting pasttime. It's not alltogether an awful game and I can understand that people are having fun building virtuell models. It looks OK (can't go full detail with my computer hardware). I had immense problems with how the model is handled. Now, I'll admit this may get better with experience. But the process of building itself…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was great the 1 time i was able to play it... Everytime i go on the game it stops as its loading (partnership loading screen) and never opens (closes itself) I've tried reinstalling that didnt work, CRAP!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While a decent idea the game has the most frustrating controls. It is almost like this was made for Tablets. Everything defaults to "Pen pressure controls" strength or size. The masking tools will make you want to punch your screen. Just some horrible UX/UI choices made here. With the Dev team dropping it cold turkey in this unpolished state I will pass on their other games. The model selection is extremely limited and the developers have jumped ship. Steam Workshop was being worked on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i loved this game, but now whenever i try and open it, it crashes. Really unfortunate because its good fun, and i just bought their latest DLC to support them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so many bugs had to restart my game 2 times. not happy!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a modeler in real life, it's quite delightful to see how well the game implements the various modeling methods. It's real fun to try my hands with models I wouldn't be able to do in my own hobby, not to mention way less expensive. The techniques are well implemented and pretty much a lot of things work like it would in real life. I'm having lots of fun with it, and would recommend to those who would just want a glimpse at what building models is without wanting to invest a lot of money in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will begin by saying that I have been painting various models and making dioramas for many years now, and I can't imagine that there is a game that better illustrates that experience. If you don't want to cough up the cash for all the equipment just to see if you even like the hobby, this is a genuinely good option, even long term. There is certain choices that really puzzle me, like why the hell you start with an airbrush instead of a regular brush and why youre able to paint SO small…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is the definition of tedious, on the 5th model (i believe) you spend more time painting and if you misclick once you have 2 options, give up, or do it all over. wouldnt recommend this game ever. go build actual models, you'll have more fun
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been playing this game called Model Builder which lets me carry out my dreams of painting and building models and minis without needing to know what I'm doing.
unlabelledView post →At this point I can not recommend the game, it has a big game breaking bug that is reoccurring throughout the game, for me it literally manifested itself at the tutorial so I couldn't even move past that. Fix the issues and it will be a recommended game and I will buy the title again, until then refunded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty awful; alternative to model building irl. Tutorial is too long, all parts snap to place and the game basically places itself so you can't mess up. Paint does itself too and the brush sizes for airbrushing is really small. moving pieces around is a pain and not very intuitive. it's model building for people that don't want to build models irl
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game idea seems nice. I like to build models, but since I don't have space now, building them digitally seemed a good alternative. But the bugs totally broke the game. Got stuck in one mission in the carreer mode and can't get past it, not even if I reload an old save game. It just don't track the mission and, even if I finish the model, I can't finish the project. Tried a lot of things but none worked. New gameplay for career mode? No, thanks. Sandbox? Maybe, but some models are locked by…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like the idea of putting a model together without messing around with real glue, paints, and finding storage space, this simulation may be for you - it's very nicely presented, and has been quite enjoyable so far. Meditative. Only two issues worth mentioning: 1. For some reason, Model Builder will always revert to my desktop when I try to load a new session (doesn't crash, just goes through the motions and doesn't start, returning to the desktop). Second try, it'll start up fine. 2.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thanks to everyone who stopped by the stream tonight! Despite the game crashing, Model Builder is pretty fun! Archive will be up tomorrow.
unlabelledView post →I enjoy this game, but I can't recommend it until the undo function is completed. So much wasted time. And yes, I'm aware of the "safety" option only after learning it from the forum.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is cool and the models are cool too. The soundtrack makes me want to jump out my basement window though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played it for 2 hours before saving for another time. Now the game doesn't get past the "In partnership with" screen without crashing. Tried verifying files, deleting ini, but nothing helps. The game itself is as tedious as real life building, but with how the devs have left the crash bug for years without a response, better skip this even with a discount.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its an ok game. I've got quite a few hours with it, which is necessary if you want to actually get the models looking good. If you're into these kinds of games, this is a nice idea and may be worth putting a few pennies towards. However, that said, I probably wouldn't recommend it unless you have a lot of patience. The controls are fiddly, the game a little buggy and the tools permanent. This wouldn't be an issue but the game also lacks an undo, reset or quicksave option, with saving…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An excellent combination of tedious and relaxing. Finishing a model feels quite rewarding. Though I will say I am not a fan of the "move model" controls as in using WASD to move the model relatively to the camera, It's really counterintuitive. I got so tired of it I had to go out of my way to remap them backwards to make it so I move the camera relatively to the model instead. That's what most of these games would do and I think this should be a toggle in the gameplay options. I mean come on,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game but, I've found a glitch with one of the models. The gray and black A-10 has a glitch with the instructions. When you go to paint the rear of the 1st engine pod, the instruction sheet glitches and if you try to go back, it completely disappears. I've tried restarting the model but, the instruction sheet is still missing. Restarting the game brings it back but, the glitch still happens every time. Also, I wish they would add some helicopters to the military vehicle section such as an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I miss being able to build model airplanes with my grandpa. He passed numerous years ago. When I was asked if I wanted to keep the models (even though I don't remember being asked only remember waiting to BE asked) I said we didn't have room so they got sold. So now I just have my memories of building with my grandpa and it's a hole that will never be filled in. But at least this game lets me build models, especially the planes, and think about my grandpa and how he used to build real…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why am i getting booted out when it loading
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no longer works , crashes during loading
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun chill gaming, but putting on masking tape is fxcking annoying and eventually caused me to dump the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love the smell of plastic in the morning
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will say that I was skeptical to buy this game at first. I can say now that I am glad I made the purchase. This game is so relaxing, fun, and enjoyable. If you have ever built models before then you know the relaxation I am talking about. Even though some things can be frustrating, but so can building them in real life. I actually have zero complaints about this game. It runs smooth for me and I also like the fact that some of the models are not a quick assemble and move onto the next. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the kind of mindless game I like to mess around with while I binge shows/movies.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I accidentally attached a part to the model too early and I spent 30 minutes looking for a way to disassemble it because I still had to paint it. There seems to be a tool for it, but it is not unlocked yet when building the first few models? Anyways, this basically made it impossible for me to progress any further, I am somewhat disappointed, but my expectations for a game like this (Got it from a Humble Bundle) were not that high in the first place. For people who genuinely enjoy ths kind of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tl;dr the only word I really have for this game is "disappointing." I like the gameplay, even if the controls are fiddly, my Wacom tablet won't work with the game at all, and I end up spending an absurd amount of time trying to get the paint JUST right with my mouse. However, I hit a wall in career mode with the auction house quest. I finished the model I bought for it (despite not having access to the apparently necessary masking tape), even have the model in my inventory, can put it on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wtf that dragon model took me two hours. good news is it completely staved off the Night Spiraling! game got lot of DLC and the complete edition w all DLC is $5 on steam rn and it's an utter joy. is just called Model Builder
unlabelledView post →Reminds me why I quit building models IRL.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly? Go buy some tools and a model and build IRL, the experience will be waaaaaay better than this. You can build models irl with just 3, 4 tools, and some paint, if you like it, congrats you have a nice hobby.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ah, where do I even begin with the absolute travesty that is Model Builder? Prepare yourselves for a journey into the depths of monotony and mediocrity, as this game manages to redefine the very essence of tedium. I had the misfortune of subjecting myself to this digital nightmare, and let me assure you, the experience was nothing short of soul-crushing. First and foremost, the game lacks any semblance of innovation. It's as if the developers took a masterclass in banality and applied it with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like i'm actually in a workshop and can spend so much time on one sitting. Would recommend using a tablet too, it is better for the brushes and sprays.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game but unfortunately I just had to refund it, the game will not start. Tried all the recommended fixes and nothing worked. Developers are unresponsive and uninterested on providing resolution. Buyer beware
