Build, paint, and customize mecha models in this cozy simulation game, now available to try for a limited time.

Ever wanted to build your own mecha from scratch, choosing every detail along the way? Model Kit Studio brings the hands-on fun of model making to a virtual workshop, where players can assemble, paint, and customize their own creations at a relaxed pace. The latest Steam playtest runs from November 2 to November 16, 2026, offering a first look at the upcoming simulation game.

Build and Customize Two Mecha Models

The playtest features two models to put together: MeKS, a flying robo-sidekick with a habit of getting into trouble, and Excavaclaw, a mining mecha designed for planetary and asteroid excavation. Players follow step-by-step instructions, cutting and assembling each piece just like they would with a physical model kit. Once the build is complete, brushes, airbrushes, and decals offer plenty of room for personalization. There’s even a hand vacuum to clean up leftover nubs and keep the workbench tidy.

A Cozy Workshop to Explore

Model-making is only part of the experience. Between builds, players can explore their workshop apartment, spend time with Donut, their purring pet cat, grab a hot cup of coffee, or take care of the studio plants. A jukebox provides a soundtrack for the space, adding to the laid-back atmosphere. These small activities give the workshop a more personal feel, making it somewhere to relax and enjoy the process rather than simply rush through one model after another.

Try the Playtest on Steam

The Model Kit Studio playtest is available until November 16, 2026. Head over to the Steam page to check availability and request access. The game is being developed by Spooky Rabbits and published by Mythwright, with its full release currently planned for 2027.
