I want to clarify something, are we allowed to enter a entry that I’m going to use both this comp and GBWC but I haven’t started building or moding yet
So long as you haven’t posted pictures of it anywhere else in the net, yes. So long as you bought the main kit in HLJ, yes. So long as you can prove you are an HLJ customer, yes.
Don’t know what are the rules and timing of GWBC competition but rules here clearly state – you have to post at least 4 photos of work in progress and cannot post photos/videos of a model that takes part in competition anywhere else in the web.
If you don’t break those rules by entering both – I guess you can.
Just for your information (I MAY BE WRONG). GBWC 2017 hasn’t been announced yet tho, which is quite odd because looking @ the previous GBWC finals award ceremony video they would announce the next year’s GBWC in the end of the video (for example on GBWC 2015’s award ceremony video they announce GBWC 2016’s on the end of the video). However, this…[Read more]
I’ve spent much of the past month putting together this Dwadge Reformation using the old Gundam ZZ kit and the HGUC Dom/Rick Dom with plenty if Milliput for the head and the Earth Federation Beam Rifle that I extended as it looked far too short.
The detail is from the Dwadge kit. I cut it out, thinned it down using sandpaper and cut it down the middle and attached it to the Rick Dom skirt with some putty to fill in the gaps and smooth the edges.
Turns out I CAN’T use the Sazabi ver ka I won as a prize last time as a base for my entry, so guess who’s just ordered another one XD
Hey at least I’ll get the premium decals with this one.
Q. Can I enter with a kit that I didn’t purchase from HLJ?
A. You can use a kit that was not purchased through hlj.com, however, you will need a customer account in order to submit your final entry and receive any prizes should you win.
Clear as day in Their FAQ’s below the General Rules

I think they should be OK (would count them as details) but you might try msg Syd or Todd (you can find his name in member list of this group. He is either first or 2nd). Im going to use some precision machined sockets parts in my build and like hell HLJ is selling those ^^
Can I just get some clarification, does the kit HAVE to have been bought off HLJ?
the rules say that
“Entries can be made using any combination of any model kits which were/are available for purchase on hlj.com”
but also
“Prize winners may be asked to prove the entry was originally purchased from hlj.com”
“The rules have been clarified to state clearly that the kit can be purchased from somewhere other than HLJ.com however you will need a customer account at HLJ.com in order to submit your final order and claim any prizes.”
I had just gotten stuck into snap building the Plamax 1/350 Cherno Alpha when the announcement came out so I thought I would use it for my entry!
I haven’t built a Plamax model kit before and so far I’m impressed with the molded detail.
I remember there were a few half snapped kits entering last time but I’m not too sure if the line of “started” is drawn at snap fitted or painted/prepped.
Can we get some rules around half snap fitted models @syd ?
The “Basic Rules” on the contest’s page does not mention projects in progress, only that you provide 4 WIP images throughout the contest. However it would be against the spirit of the contest to post a finished build that you already had pictures of that was done before the contest was announced. We should wait on an official ruling before anyone…[Read more]
I just finished snap building the Cherno and I must say that it looks great but definitely needs some paint to give it that awesome gritty look from the movie.
I was lucky enough to pre-order both this and the Gypsy Danger before they went to Order Stop on HLJ but I’m not sure when they’ll do a second run of them :/
Yeah there is a bit of a blank space in the rules regarding that, I wouldn’t imagine putting up a previous project is any good but I would like to see an official ruling around models that have been half built or snap fitted but not worked on, especially in the Intermediate and Advanced categories.
If I can’t end up entering this, even by…[Read more]
