I’ve just checked on your entry so I could get an answer to you — we’re very sorry, but it looks like your completed entry was received after the deadline. We did receive an earlier submission from you, but because it was incomplete, it was not accepted.
If I’m not mistaken, Todd and Syd replied to every submission we received just to let the…[Read more]
Oh, I see. I knew something went wrong with the first one, because my browser had some errors, that’s why the form was incomplete. I kept trying with different browsers until I finally did it, but it looks like it was too late…
Thanks for confirming that for me, and count me in for the next competition!
Can someone tell me why my entry is not featured. Did I break a rule, is the work just bad? I just need to know for my sanity. I did the Poe Dameron version of the 1/100 FA Tunderbolt Gundam. Please, please give me some feedback.
Hehe between Java and Beork I would tend to Beork, if it is about the main figure. But Java made a really sweet dio out of it.
And yes! It is always extremly sattisfying to see WIP and chat about thechnics and solutions.
Just browsing pictures and get some inspiration. The best, if you need a break on your own build.
I prefer Java in general because theres much more skill and vision involved. His finishing is a bit rougher, but that makes it more artistic in a a way.
I on the other hand am techically less gifted and in principle just rebuild stuff others have done with some changes because I just dont have the same pieces.
Not saying I mind getting 2nd of…[Read more]
You both used different technics.. and the handcraftet armor of Java is epic. I But I love your alien-style design.. it is just porn. It is so elegant and unique .. thats pure art. Javas design is more classic.. humanoid.. You win in creativity. And the .. may it be simple.. finish just fits and feels right… its my personal opininion, cause I…[Read more]
Well, its not my design, is what I’m saying. It’s based on a Kobayshi design and another modelers build thereof.
Ah well, in the end the discussion doesn’t matter, taste and such I guess. I appreciate you liking it ^_^
Did you see Javas build after this his entry?
Thank you very much ArchFluffy, sorry I did not reply sooner I just could not sign in for a few days to answer you. You did some sweet work yourself on your plane, you should be proud of it.
Java – creativity. you owe me a beer.
Moldrunner – for trying new things, not another gunpla.
Ronin – for mod skills.
Enrico Asa no Hoshi – if the build was finished in time.
eil doelz – weathered and rusted truck diorama.
Beork – Kitbashing.
Lambo & Minarto – amazing car building & modding skills
One or…[Read more]
Some of em are really a supprise to me.. Where for exapmple is fluffys 3 2 1 Zero … ? Or your Jet?
sure I am kinda disapointed and it is not up to me and I won´t hurt someone, but what on earth makes the Mosquito topping them? Ok its brushwork, but .. don’t get it.
And sadly the announcement was not even worth a show? I think without Sid…[Read more]
Hehe see.. I like Anna, and the other girl.. sorry, I cant remember the name.. from Toy Tengoku. I saw almost every episode of them, but If the where taken in charge for judging the entries, I feel sorry for them. Scott, Luke and Brian,should be able to judge the quality of a build. Yeah Tod und Sid for sure. Even if they might be not the pro…[Read more]
Hehe sorry,for rantingn I appreciate your comment. Java and Beork really deserve it to win. But than I see bare plastik weathered with Tamiya weathering makeup as a winner.. really…. come on..
I actually really like the Mosquito, was expecting It to score as the best of intermediate instead of a Bradley. It’s a nice looking, elegant plane and the kit is nice to look at. I am quite surprised it got bumped to advanced tho, mostly due to the category guides.
Yeah gotta agree with that, the Bradley is a superb build. And the dioramas, well I really enjoyed seeing a French tank in there, it’s so rarely to see them being appreciated, even more a diorama of those years, found it interesting, but I see where you are going.
Haha this thing is driving me crazy. The more I look at that build, the more angry I become…. Is this really a big gun? You know it, when you see it? Take the framework of the canapee.. nothing is masked.. nothing is clean.. That covers not the best of their entries. It is like….,lits so many, lets come to an end. Very very sad. People put…[Read more]
I was rooting for Java, the amount of imagine and vision you had to have to take a pile of junk and make it into the Mecha that he did was amazing. Everyone did great and the posting activity was great from all. Can’t wait for the next one.
It’s refreshing to see that some people are still objective, un-business-oriented and un-political. I know very well what is going on with Russia & USA. But what does that have to do with me? I’m not even Russian. lol. I don’t even know what the Russian words on the Flanker D mean.
Beork deserved a win as well. The other incredible gunpla builds didn’t get a mention. They were clean, but modded and painted a different color scheme.
The kitbashed hybrid bike in intermediate someone did might have won if he submitted his work. Don’t think he did.
The biggest surprise is the #1 Advanced PG build. Yes, it’s very detailed, but…[Read more]
I tried to stay put, but i have to agree with this rant.
I was not expecting to be on the top 3 by any means, but seeing the winners it kind of annoyed me. When i submitted my entry i thought about putting it on intermediate, but according to the rules, they can change the category if needed…for a second i thought “well, my entry doesnt even…[Read more]
My main complain is that both the category rules and the of judging criteria seems to be all over the place, and the lack of video really does not help on that behave. Are they looking for a clean build, an interesting one, a complex one? Does scale matters? Does realism matters or just artistic sense?
I understand how hard it must be to judge, after all we have both gundams, land vehicles, planes and ships all competing with each other, and most of the winners rightfully deserve their place, man there are some amazing kits in there, did you see that metal gear? an what to say about Beork’s uh (is it a gundam? looks amazing tho), but yeah some…[Read more]
We’ll have a video a bit later. Because of the volume of entries, judging alone took longer than expected. We focused on judging first to have the results to everyone by Wednesday. Unfortunately, if we had added the video at the same time, results would have been further delayed.
I think everybody would gladly understand a further delay. Looking st the circumstances. And patience is one of a modellers strength. I really thought Syd would leave after the contest. Never expected him to leaving everything behind and this task to his unprepared colleagues…
We had many modellers eager to post their photos online, and didn’t want to keep them waiting any longer, but we will have a video — hopefully within a few days. Though Syd isn’t physically present, he was a preliminary judge for this competition, with Ryan and Todd’s help.
Thanks for including my name in your list! I really wanted to compete with you, Beork, Java…
I’m also not satisfied with the results, there are some winners that I don’t get why they are there and some great entries that surprisingly didn’t place. I was not expecting much from my entry, after all, I made just about 70% of what I was planning (I…[Read more]
Syd might have put a lot of trust in his second man or third man being the judge, since he’s not present at the office. He might have skimped over the winner list and photos, but he may not have seen all the WIPs. If he has, he would not be happy with the results. Because we LIVED the competition. Literally. We know every nook and cranny.
I haven’t been able to sign in on here for a few days that’s why I’m a bit late but I do think that Moldrunner should have won a place and also kaminoan.
Because of the volume of entries we’ve received for the 2017 Modeling Competition, the announcement of the winners has been delayed until Wednesday, May 24th (Japan time). Thank you for all the great entries, and sorry for the wait!
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to post the last WIP photos of my (not completed) entry.
I won’t do very detailed descriptions, because there are a lot of photos this time.
Also,…
Also, in the photos where it’s all assembled, there are parts that I didn’t put on the model because it would be a bit risky. For example: armor for the back of the legs and armor for the feet.
Thanks, man! My idea was to make it look like an MS from UC 0088/0093-ish; maybe a combination of elements from Zeta, ZZ, AOZ and maybe UC. Also, the backstory is that this MS was a mix of Jupitris design elements and regular EFF MS elements.
Thanks again for encouraging me to finishing this build!
Thanks, Orchidia! 😀
I did paint it but not completely, besides main painting I just did some minor detail painting (15 minutes before the deadline) and submitted the photos, but I plan on finishing the model properly after the competition is over.
Thanks again for your interest 😉

Well it looks like I screwed up big time and missed the submission deadline since the submission page isn’t loading. Oh well, can’t do much about it now.
Okay, one last post under decent lighting with a better-than-my-phone camera. This is my submission for this year’s competition, RGM-79/K/U unit 216. RGM-79 is the mobile suit, /K designation for the 1.2 m Kinetic Cannon, /U designation in reference to it’s up-armored state.
Kind of relieved that I’m not the only one sitting around paranoid about whether my entry went through this weekend while waiting for a confirmation email.
Please tell me, why I didn.t got my confirm for now?
I made Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
All rules were followed, I think…
Please, confirm my participation
After pressing ok,there was a message.. thank you we got your stuff..,so I am convinced. But I am,suprised how many people have problems with the page loading and such things.,Its 2017 …
I still have no message, which, if done by hand, is understandable. But having dabbled in entry forms myself, an automated message confirming entry is quite easy to make.
2017 indeed
I have no PM or email too, but I don’t panic. Everything will be allright. But if something went wrong on youre side that would increase my chances for the win quite a lot^^
Alright guys, my last W.I.P. before I submit it. Just waiting on the quick base I made for it to dry before grabbing a real camera and taking decent pictures. This is the most scratch building I’ve done so far, and while it’s pretty simple I’m happy with how it turned out. Good luck to everyone in the competition!
round 2…. what do you guys think? its my first time ever posting online! I’ve always been super scared and bad at technology…….. be kind is sensitive sally!!! lol but any advice or compliments welcome if ur up for it.
i have no idea if the system finally pushed my entry through been up all night trying to get it submitted but it just spins… anyways here are a few shots.
Well it’s still Sunday where I live and I just submitted. I hope 4 months work is not down the drain.. although I had the fun building it I was excited to get into the contest.
Isn’t it sad, that they hardly comment about the contest in the show? They should show interesting builds during the progress. As I watched the show during the last contest, thats what it want to see.
Thank you for posting this! 🙂
Oh, looks like I didn’t make it on time, since mine is not there. I’ve received a confirmation, though :$

Oh, I see. I knew something went wrong with the first one, because my browser had some errors, that’s why the form was incomplete. I kept trying with different browsers until I finally did it, but it looks like it was too late…
Thanks for confirming that for me, and count me in for the next competition!
Can someone tell me why my entry is not featured. Did I break a rule, is the work just bad? I just need to know for my sanity. I did the Poe Dameron version of the 1/100 FA Tunderbolt Gundam. Please, please give me some feedback.
