Mr Mark Softer & Setter are actually quite common u should be able to find them pretty much easy in most hobby shop. I’ve never tried Tamiya Mark Fit but it should do the job well.

Mr Mark Setter is used to make sure that decals stick on. However, if ur decals won’t stick because of a not flat surface it’s highly recommended that u use mr mark softer/tamiya mark fit as it helps decals melts so that it can conform to the surface it’s sticked on. I’ve personally never heard of issue with decals that won’t stick to flat…[Read more]

Beginner Modeler – Modeling Competition 2017 3 years, 11 months agoPic was taken 1/2 days ago lol. Seam line on some parts have been removed(not all parts are taken pictures of) -

It’s not on the rules so probably yeah
-
but airbrush is advanced category, spray is like a half way between hand painting and airbrush ….
-
spray paint is intermediate I’m pretty sure it may say something about that on the “How to enter page.”
-
I checked before asking, only hand paint and airbrush are mentioned

y mean injected gold?

I’ve never experienced black with those ripples on black colour but gold/silver injected are quite common

Sort of the same lol :p. The arms on this kit is more complex compared to the rest of the parts tho. This is like building HG kit with the arms of a MG kit lol. The arms have inner frame on some parts and individually moving fingers.

I had the same issue with those ripples with kits that are gold/silver injected. Nearly every kit with gold/silver injected color I built has this issue in some of their parts.

If unclear rules is ur issue, contact HLJ staffs/ read FAQs. They have made stuff much more clear in the FAQ page. Stifling creativity? not sure about that. HLJ does sell huge selection of scratch building materials. Besides, read the FAQ page on 2017 page. U are allowed to use kits NOT BOUGHT FROM HLJ but U WILL NEED TO OWN A HLJ ACCOUNT.
p.s.…[Read more]

I think I can grasp a bit of Mangy’s frustration/confusion. The root of this problem is not the scratch building or using an HLJ kit, etc, but the use of poor diction to describe the “mentioned” judging criteria. The term “completely” was probably implied as 100% of the kit is built from non preexisting parts (i.e. literally building it from the…[Read more]

You are the only one who has hit the nail right on the head. You’re exactly right. You understand my frustration and confusion considering I was already thinking of what I would be modeling and painting. It is absolutely semantics but it’s also about being both contradicting and inconsistent within their own rules.
-
I’ve already mentioned this but think of the ridiculousness of not allowing limited edition mail-order Gundam kits.
Like say from the website Gentei Kits.
These are exclusive Bandai Gundam models that are available only if you order them by mail and available only in Japan on a one by one ordering basis.
HLJ does n…[Read more]

The base kit needs to be available on HLJ for purchase.
Since the listed kits are originally a “P-Bandai” they will be considered illegal because they are not available at HLJ. However, it is not against the rules to alter another kit to resemble a P-Bandai. For example, HG IBO Iok’s Reginlaze is just a recolor of HG IBO Julieta’s Reginlaze. You…[Read more] -
For eligibility, the competition states “The first photo posted should be of the model kit box you intend to build.” This is done so the judges can confirm, what kit you are building and is the available for purchase. This is why they also have at least 4 work in progress photo, as a reference to check if you are not cheating. If anything, the…[Read more]

Beginner Modeler – Modeling Competition 2017 3 years, 12 months agoDone snapping up this guy for today. Seam line removal & nub marks removal will be done tomorrow and probably a few hand painting (maybe the hair and some smaller details). Most of the painting will probably be done after chinese new year bcs I currently don’t have all of the paint needed with me.-

Interesting. It makes sense there are a few gimmicks in the arms since Franky is well know for his weird arm poses, jk.

You need take a picture with him doing that for the contest

U still have > 3 months left to complete ur entry, grab one kit. It’s very easy to find. Even much easier and much cheaper than the limited edition ANA kit that u have tho. There’s still chance.:)

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]

U don’t have to use kits bought from HLJ. But the kit must be available for sale at HLJ/ was at one point sold at HLJ. Dismantling and putting it back won’t make FW Converge a legal entry as this is a plamo competition not a figure competition. FW Converge is a figure not a plamo. I see that u previously tried to enter a mega size ANA RX-78-2 kit.…[Read more]
