That kit has some amazing parts and color separation. I looked at your previous pics and it’s good stuff. You may be using a toothpick to paint such fine details, but the results look like they were painted with a tiny detail brush. To go from an AGE HG kit to this guy, it’s impressive.
Thanks! I checked my local hobby shops for a tiny brush, but they didn’t have any small enough. Hence, the toothpick. (I know I could find the proper brush online, but the contest deadline’s fast approaching!)
Finally got done with the complete submission of my kit. Only took several weeks after the last post I pade here, but I got it done. Here are the pose pics I submitted with the required dimension pics. The last pic I couldn’t attach so it’s exclusive here, haha. Got to say, I had an easy time posing this guy.

There are 30 winners this year so it looks like everyone has a good chance of getting in. Either way it’s been awesome to see just how many people are interested in model making as I only know a few people who do war hammer.

Speaking of Warhammer, I think there’s someone in the Intermediate category doing a big miniature. Looked like it belonged to the Advanced category, haha.
Haha, Games Workshop stuff is rather expensive even when compared to purchasing large amounts of gunpla so I share your opinion. However, I actually want to buy a few of their miniatures down the road. Seems like a good challenge and a big break from the usual for me.
That’s true. Tomino loves to leave his uber-Gundam as pristine as possible, haha. The art style kinda implies some kind of weathering, especially on certain illustrations.
