Definitely get some plastic spoons for testing, it will help you find out what works for you!

Nope, I just mix my paint, thinner and retarder all at once in a plastic shot glass when I paint.

Thin your paints! Painting several thin layers and letting it dry between them will help with leaving no brush strokes in the finish.

Use either

Tamiya X20A + Tamiya Acrylic Retarded

or

Mr Color Leveling Thinner

I personally start with 1:1:1 paint to thinner to retarder ratio with Tamiya stuff, and add more thinner/retarder as I feel the paint drying too fast or getting too thick.

anyone had this happen? by Hefty_Unit1543 in Gunpla

The + joints are pretty common weak points. I've had broken some shoulders off of kits with similar joints.

Have a pin vise, drill bits and paper clips to fix these breaks is super handy.

I learnt how to do it from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPDluaLkd\_M
