Wooooo nice purple ! What reference?

Fabulous.

So many good works coming in. I think the judges will have a hard time deciding winners.

Thank you!
Yeah, you right!

superb work my friend!
looking at all the projects here i’m glad i didnt enter in this group level…(:
good luck!

love the nice rust weathering. good job.

Thanks 😉 Started very late, so didn’t get much sleep over the last couple of days. Always rushing the last minute when it comes to model competitions.

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.

Not bad for a week or days of work.

lovely weekendbuild..

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).

Thanks … had a lot of ideas that I had to drop because of time restraints. I’ll probably rework this a little after the competition.

Looks awesome mate and good luck!!!

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.

Yeah the level,is quite high this time.

Very very good!

The model is only dry fitted and will be glued later.

Looks fantastic.

Nevermind, I see that we have a limit on the entry page.

I avoid putting a varnish over the weathering. I put it on after bascoats and decals, to save the paint, while working on it with thinners and stuff. Otherwise it kills all the efford put into the weathering. changes colors, unifies the shine, and so on. For a shiny gloss kit, it is for sure different.

I’d love to see you do a scratch-built or kit-bashed junk yard with a broken robot in it. You got serious skills.

I just had fun.. most of the time.. hrhr. Seriously the two skills you need most is patience and a calm hand. There is so much on this kit, I haven’t done,before. You can call it a quite successful experiement so far.Scratchbuilding or modelling something out of clay is for sure none of my talents..

Looks wonderful!

“patience and a calm hand”, spoken like a master. It applies to a lot of things.

It’s good to try new things. My entry is a big experiment as well. Hopefully, we learned something.

Be sure..I did…a lot!

You will have a email confirmation in a day or two.
Good luck!!.

Neither did I. I’ll submit again.

The other builds in the cabinet look great. You got taste.

two questions… what is this kit on the top left and whats this red mobile suit next to your entry ?

Top left? The red box? Five star stories black knight bashu from volks ims series.
The red suit is a scratchbuild/kitbash based on a build from Alaya, based again on a kobayashi sketch. More here:

Looking sweet,nice modifications too.

Can’t wit for the final!

wait*

Would be a nice buddy for my shadowfox. Wonna see the outcome, too.

Looks amazing.
It’s always incredible to see the amount of payload the SU can carry.

Ace work!

Love the thousands of details and colorshadings.

Hrhr and give them wheels some drybrush with a neutral grey, or so… much too shiny..

Much appreciated, guys.

The wheels were repainted and resealed. Didn’t mask them. So oversprayed. I did over-flat the tires to the point it whited out a bit, so I semi-glossed them. Think about it. It’s carrier-based. So water is unavoidable. Even the carrier deck is watery sometimes.

The canopy was repainted cuz the blue didn’t match the…[Read more]
