Thanks all for all the viewings and feedback. it’s definitely a long journey for me. it paid off in the end. It’s a big surprise I got bumped to the Advanced catagory and came 2nd. Thanks HLJ for organizing this great event. It’s an eye opening experience to see the outstanding works from talent all over the world.
looks like i got bumped up too. considering that i had little experience with painting and LEDs i dont know whether to be pissed or happy that it made the cut
Yes you did. saw u entry in the advanced group. .. I love your led mods on the macross ship so much. so well executed. As u say.. not easy to pull it off with this small scale. I would love to get this kit too.. so much details!.. fun to see it coming to life
cheers mate, the only thing i can recommend if anyone is going to try something similar is to have a good supply of tiny drill bits and use epoxy glue for the fibre optics. model glue and super glue eats the stuff, and you wont know until you go to test the lights
Congratulations to all winners!!! Had a lot of fun, was my first time participating.:) Ready for next year.
Un salut a tout les partiicipants francophones.Bon boulot les gars.
Congratulations to the winners, to participants and my friends and big up to my winning friends

@ Sergio solo
Well done !!!!
Et à toi aussi mon petit Rémy! La prochaine fois on fera mieux 😉
Will there be a video to explain the choice of judges and a ranking of the losers? History to see where we are in the competition because I know that I am not the only one to claim a ranking … You think it would be possible?
We’ll have a video a little later — we decided not to delay the results just to be able to post them with the video, so we went ahead and got the winners up first. I expect Ryan and Todd will have more to say when they film.
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!
Maybe next time try this: thin black, more medium gray, and mostly white camo. From head to toe, black, gray, white patterns like water waves or straight lines or digits (blocks). Hard edges are ok.
Wasn’t able to finish my entry due to bad weather but I will still post my final pictures so as to finish what I started. Next time hope I am able to submit my work, lol.
It’s actually a glossy lacquer finish. On the pics it looks semi glossy because I chose specific angles to show the iridescent effect as much as possible.
Yeah, I think I should start working on a gunpla as from now itself and do crazy mods to it but keep all the pics secret. When there’s another competition, I’ll be ready then, hihihi.
As long as I don’t post any pics online, I think it should be alright, lolz. To be honest, I think the 4 months are more than enough to build any kits with great modifications. I was the one who waited the last minute. I wanted to work on a 2nd RG Sinanju and was waiting for replacement parts that never became available. And I never really was…[Read more]
i saw it as more as a challenge to do something different. the fact i finished something worth posting (despite the maddening frustration) was an achievement. I actually liked looking at what other do and it has helped my next build. I wouldn’t get too hung up about prizes but they were a good incentive…..im more pissed that after the results…[Read more]
Français ici ! Yeah I’m starting to be a bit anxious about the results. I think I did OK, but I saw some pretty good builds in the WIP posts and I’m not sure where I stand. that was a race to the deadline though, not sure I’d like to do that again.
Yeahhh ! (^_^)/
Je te comprends ! La date limite qui se rapproche, ta maquette n’est pas encore terminée engage un grand stress et encore plus quand il y a une galère dessus >< Mais ce genre de concours te permet d'être plus productif, imaginatif et ça vide ton stock en kits :p Du moins dans mon cas ^^ "
En tout cas ton kit est vraiment bie…[Read more]
well might as well post me pics that i submitted. anyone else that hasnt already posted their final stuff wanna give it a show?…. i like seeing how people make the most of…
We’re just anxious about who wins. I’m not holding my breath. I have a number of winners in mind. Given gunpla is the bread and butter, I’m guessing the gunpla entries will snag half of the awards. That’d be no surprise.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, I pant with Multi Color Change Effect Paint, Blue Violet Green , usually we call Bunglon Colour , i put some LED light in front light and back…
You’re not the only one. I see contestants posing their names, account #, etc. in these forums. I know they didn’t submit their entries.
I have yet to see a company-held contest that accepts entries in forums. All of them require entries to be submitted via a webpage or email. This contest requires WIP photos here so I think that may have been…[Read more]
I think they have sooo many to give a confirmation to that it’ll take a while if at all, however you should have seen a submitted successful note on the web page when you submitted. I did and took a picture if it. I still haven’t received a confirmation either.
