Having scoured the Internet for a translated version of the legendary Gunpla scratch build manual has turned up pretty much nothing, unfortunately. I have found several sites with uploaded scans of the untranslated version, which I should probably be thankful for at least. Now if only I could get back to studying Japanese, maybe I could read some of it.
Scans found here.

As you can see, pla plates are used a lot as well as resin casting.
