Beginner Modeler – Modeling Competition 2013. 9 years, 4 months ago Finally got done with the complete submission of my kit. Only took several weeks after the last post I pade here, but I got it done. Here are the pose pics I submitted with the required dimension pics. The last pic I couldn’t attach so it’s exclusive here, haha. Got to say, I had an easy time posing this guy. The waist is a bit loose, but it’s nothing that a bit of Future can fix.

Beginner Modeler – Modeling Competition 2013.
Classic Turn A pose? Check. The cow? Check.
Just give this guy a trophy already.
Freaking brilliant, man. You deserve first place.
I thank you for the compliments, gents 🙂
I had a great time with the kit and it’s one of the very few in my collection that didn’t give me headaches during the photoshoot. I absolutely loved re-creating the second pic above, man. When I first perused the manual and saw the sketch of the pose, I just knew it had to be done and the kit lived up to it.
I really want the MG Turn A… preferably before Turn X 😛 . Anything to be wary of when building this guy?
Just three things. First, the shin bending mechanism can be a bit finicky so you have to make sure it’s working right before putting the armor on. Second, the chest panels are delicate and it’s easy to snap/bend off the hinges, especially the middle two panels. Third, there are parts on the forearms and thighs that may need some tightening because they separated a bit when I was posing the kit.
Oh, and the torso joint may need to be tightened, but that’s a very minor item. Can’t wait for that Turn X. For sure I’m pre-ordering it, haha.
Thanks for that, good luck with your submission :D.
And to yours as well. Very anxious to see who gets chosen. Last year’s winners were all deserving of the wins.
There are 30 winners this year so it looks like everyone has a good chance of getting in. Either way it’s been awesome to see just how many people are interested in model making as I only know a few people who do war hammer.
Yeah, you really get to see how many people build model kits like these. Pretty surprising too how people with a background in miniatures are transitioning just fine.
Speaking of Warhammer, I think there’s someone in the Intermediate category doing a big miniature. Looked like it belonged to the Advanced category, haha.
I’ve never really gotten into warhammer because of the large cost involved (says the person who spends all of their spare change on gunpla :P).
Haha, Games Workshop stuff is rather expensive even when compared to purchasing large amounts of gunpla so I share your opinion. However, I actually want to buy a few of their miniatures down the road. Seems like a good challenge and a big break from the usual for me.
Oh nice a Turn A. Who would think of this kit? It’s very very clean. I like it
Thanks, man. It really is a clean kit, but at the same time, I’m resisting the urge to apply some weathering to it, haha.
haha it’s seems to be fine at the stage it is. The turn A is always clean in the anime. haha
That’s true. Tomino loves to leave his uber-Gundam as pristine as possible, haha. The art style kinda implies some kind of weathering, especially on certain illustrations.
If you got first place, nobody can complain! 😀 Awesome job!
