The key lime green color wasn’t really working well with the blue so I completely stripped and repainted these parts with a cooler blue-green color instead. I had to re-mask and re-paint all of the details too. In this photo you can see the two gaps I drilled into the front codpiece. I have some option parts to insert there.
I’ve finished modding the Gelgoog’s proportions. I used some nylon washers from the hardware store to add 2.5 mms to the height at the waist, and some plastic tube to add ano…
Thanks, I’m not sure what does and does not constitute the intermediate category anymore; as there are other builders using really advanced techniques within this category.
This is my third WIP post. I’ve completed the Gelgoog and I’m starting to see a few flaws in the design that I’ll need to address. I have the kit bash parts that I need to complete the project.
This is my second WIP post. I’m probably only 50 done with this kit right now. The legs look super complicated compared to the upper torso. HLJ restocked the donor kit I needed this week, so now I’m waiting on parts.
Just as an FYI the inner frame on this kit is amazing.
Hey there gunpla guys and gals this is my first WIP for the contest. I’m going to be working on completing a very simple and clean kitbash. So far I only have my base Char Gelgoog 2.0 on hand, I’m waiting for the second donor kit to come in.
I’m looking forwards to this contest, best of luck to everyone.
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]
