I’ve spent years loving StarCraft and board games—but I’ve never learned how to build or paint miniature models. This series is going to change that.
StarCraft is finally pulling me into miniature wargaming, and I’m starting from absolute zero. Throughout this series, I’ll learn how to unbox, assemble, paint and eventually play with my own StarCraft miniature armies.
For my first-ever build, I’m assembling all four Zerg Hydralisks from the StarCraft: Tabletop Miniatures Game. I’m learning how to remove pieces from sprues, clean the models, follow an assembly guide and use plastic glue—all while making plenty of beginner mistakes.
My first Hydralisk took approximately 35 minutes. By the fourth one, I had cut that down to around 15 minutes. I’m already learning—but I have a very long way to go.
This isn’t a miniature-building tutorial from an expert. It’s the story of a lifelong StarCraft fan learning the miniature hobby from the very beginning.
Experienced builders: tell me what I did wrong and what I should learn before my next build!
Subscribe and follow my complete journey from miniature beginner to commanding fully assembled and painted StarCraft armies.
