“Time to move to next project”. I already have done that before my entry was fully cured. lol. In fact, sidetracked to have done a few aircraft kits since competition began.
Thanks … I was inspired by abandoned Volkswagen beetles. I had a few other weathering ideas in mind – like moss, but ran out of time and ended up doing a drier looking base than I was planning.
Thanks … I streamlined my process for building and painting mechs over the years so now I can knock them out pretty quickly (Though I have to admit I was up til 2 in the morning painting for 2 nights in a row).
Posted my final entry at the beginning of April, but here are some of my build and entry photos. Thank you and good luck everyone. Plenty of competition!!
Here’s a final pic of my Sinanju. I had several problems during this build, and there are some seriously annoying elements about this kit, but it’s really cool, and I will be picking up another one for an exposed-frame build.
Lots of great looking work has been posted for this competition! I’m excited to see it all.
Have fun!
Thx man, it is hard to cover everything in just 8 pics. I have seen it all a lot, but someone, who hasn’t seen it before, will not get all thats there.
Honestly the images you have shown tell the story rather well,you can see the pilot has passed on either by my first guess would be dehydration or was fataly wounded in battle and has died next to his/her scopedog and that the pilots body is the only source of food for miles that the poor vulture can scavenge.
Now I am thinking, to add the rest of a campfire next to the stones in front of the scopedog. So the pilot had shot the animal and stayed over night, or a few days and left the corps behind. Making the vulture a happy guy. 🙂 happy end….
Freaking beautiful. They say the judges will have their work cut out, I think it’s the opposite. It’s been how many years since the last competition. The builders have much better skill sets.
Assembly took a lot more work than expected. Initially it couldn’t hold itself under it’s own weight, so I had to pull much of it apart and add metal rods through the joints for strength so that it could hold the post i wanted.
I took a few more pictures, but my images take up too much space and I don’t know how to change that. So I’ll just post some pics, but I won’t be able to submit them for final entry.
I was finally able to shrink the file last night and the entry sent, turns out I had to download an ap since the pics were on my phone. Thanks for the replies and good luck to everyone who entered
Beautiful colors! Very good control of your aero!
