Need ideas for kit bashing and weathering

[foundshaian]

Hi, I'm new to MW and I'm not sure if this is the right way to ask for help and ideas. I'm relatively new to modeling as I've completed only one kit, a 1/144 super sylph. I recently was given two gundam models of the same scale being a cyclase's Schwalbe custom and a amx-004 qubeley, I am thinking of kit bashing these two and also attempting to increase the quality of detail but I don't know how to do effective weathering effects and I also don't really know how to mold and fit parts of different purposes together. I have an airbrush and can do decently with it. If anyone has tips or processes for increasing detail on models i would be greatful. Thanks

I would refer to the workshop section. There’s a thread all about the basics

OK thanks big s, I don't know why I didn't just go there before making this post

If you have further questions feel free to ask. There really isn’t a definitive how to these days, but many of the folks here would be able to give further advice
