Why Join Brooklyn Buildz?
For Parents (Focus & Patience)
🧠Screen-Free Focus: In a world of instant gratification, our Youth Labs teach kids the value of the "long game." Following complex visual guides builds incredible spatial awareness, patience, and fine motor skills in an inspiring, supportive space.
For Parents (Safety & No Mess)
🧼 100% Mess-Free Engineering: Parents love us because Bandai’s Entry-Grade kits are snap-fit and held together entirely by friction. That means absolutely zero glue needed!
For Adults (The Tool Library)
🧰 Elite Tool Library & Airbrush Lab: Skip the expensive cost of buying hobby gear. Our 17+ studio sessions include full access to premium tools, high-CRI lighting, and our professional airbrush station featuring an industrial waterfall spray booth.
For Adults (The Apartment Escape)
🏙️ Ditch the Apartment Setup: NYC apartments aren't built for airbrushing or scaling up big builds. When youth labs wrap, our studio becomes your open hobbyist sanctuary. Access pro ventilated booths, expand your kit backlog, and stop building alone. Join a build night or take a workshop to level up your skills alongside local makers.
What’s Gundam and Gunpla?
What’s Gundam?
If you grew up watching Cartoon Network’s Toonami in the 90s, you probably remember the giant, heroic robots of Gundam Wing. Since its start in 1979, Gundam has become the "Star Wars of Japan"—a massive sci-fi world where human pilots operate mechanical suits called "Mobile Suits."
Why it’s more than just a cartoon:
A "Stem" Hobby: Building these models (called Gunpla) is like high-level LEGO. It teaches patience, following complex 3D diagrams, and fine motor skills.
No Glue, No Mess: Unlike the model airplanes of the past, modern Gundam kits "snap-fit" together. No toxic glue or smelly paint is required to get a great-looking result.
Epic Stories: The shows aren't just about robots fighting; they are famous for stories about bravery, team-building, and solving conflicts.
The Bottom Line: Gundam is a 45-year-old tradition that combines 80s-90s nostalgia with a hands-on, creative outlet that gets people off their screens and building something real.
What’s Gunpla?
Gunpla is a portmanteau of "Gundam Plastic Model." These are the physical kits that allow you to build the iconic robots from the 90s cartoons by hand. Since the first kit launched in 1980, Gunpla has evolved from simple toys into a worldwide phenomenon known for its engineering brilliance.
Why Parents Love It:
Snap-Fit Engineering: Modern kits are held together by friction, not glue. This means no toxic fumes and no sticky messes on your kitchen table.
"3D Puzzles": Each kit comes with a detailed manual that functions like a 3D blueprint. It builds incredible spatial awareness and following-directions skills.
Pre-Colored Parts: The plastic pieces are molded in color, so the model looks fantastic right out of the box without needing paint.
Scale Levels: There is a kit for every age and budget, from "Entry Grade" (perfect for kids) to "Master Grade" (highly detailed for adults).
The Goal of Brooklyn Buildz is to take the intimidation factor out of any hobby. We provide the tools and the space to help new and existing builders go from a box, or a chuck of 3d printed plastic to a finished masterpiece.
