So disappointed my web page just spinning for 45mins no error nothing… I didn’t realize my photos were too big I guess.. Lots of work down drain I’ll post pics again once I figure out how to shrink them down for this website
Thanks guys i had them all under 450k but i guess servers were busy IDK but 5hrs later the page shows it went through after spinning and making my life misery! hope they count it and its time stamped because it was well before 12am japan time so wish me luck! if not i will flip my shit hahaha way too much work done for tech issues
I couldn’t complete my entry, but I submitted it anyway. But why couldn’t you complete it if you had a ton of time? Well, for three reasons:
1 – My hobby knife broke a few weeks ago, and that made scratchbuilding and detailing spectacularly slower.
2 – My airbrush broke a few days ago when I was starting painting. I had to order a new one and wait…[Read more]
Why those things always happen just prior to deadline?!
Just fixed that and post to competition. Here’s a front picture of my entry.
God luck everyone!
Thanks … I was inspired by abandoned Volkswagen beetles. I had a few other weathering ideas in mind – like moss, but ran out of time and ended up doing a drier looking base than I was planning.
Thanks … I streamlined my process for building and painting mechs over the years so now I can knock them out pretty quickly (Though I have to admit I was up til 2 in the morning painting for 2 nights in a row).
Thx man, it is hard to cover everything in just 8 pics. I have seen it all a lot, but someone, who hasn’t seen it before, will not get all thats there.
Honestly the images you have shown tell the story rather well,you can see the pilot has passed on either by my first guess would be dehydration or was fataly wounded in battle and has died next to his/her scopedog and that the pilots body is the only source of food for miles that the poor vulture can scavenge.
Now I am thinking, to add the rest of a campfire next to the stones in front of the scopedog. So the pilot had shot the animal and stayed over night, or a few days and left the corps behind. Making the vulture a happy guy. 🙂 happy end….
Freaking beautiful. They say the judges will have their work cut out, I think it’s the opposite. It’s been how many years since the last competition. The builders have much better skill sets.
Took a couple of test shots to check my lighting and how well the detail shows up. I have to do a more obvious highlighting/shading job next time. I always underestimate how…
I avoid putting a varnish over the weathering. I put it on after bascoats and decals, to save the paint, while working on it with thinners and stuff. Otherwise it kills all the efford put into the weathering. changes colors, unifies the shine, and so on. For a shiny gloss kit, it is for sure different.
I just had fun.. most of the time.. hrhr. Seriously the two skills you need most is patience and a calm hand. There is so much on this kit, I haven’t done,before. You can call it a quite successful experiement so far.Scratchbuilding or modelling something out of clay is for sure none of my talents..
Top left? The red box? Five star stories black knight bashu from volks ims series.
The red suit is a scratchbuild/kitbash based on a build from Alaya, based again on a kobayashi sketch. More here:
dam, little feedback for @syd and @ryan for next time, the photo requirements are a little outdated, i get that you don’t want 100 8k resolution images from everyone but 1200 (x 675 to keep ratio with 1080p) is rather small these days and capping it to 450kb per image makes it worse, i had to lower the quality a bunch to get them under and you…[Read more]
Even 3MB to upload it here is often to small And it is of not matter in the forum. But on the competition it is very much about the true shadings and details, that makes a difference.
Picsize is def a problem for me too.
The wheels were repainted and resealed. Didn’t mask them. So oversprayed. I did over-flat the tires to the point it whited out a bit, so I semi-glossed them. Think about it. It’s carrier-based. So water is unavoidable. Even the carrier deck is watery sometimes.
The canopy was repainted cuz the blue didn’t match the…[Read more]
I used ACDsee and it was a easy task. Just rezised my pics to 1200 pixels and thats it.
Also keep an eye on the file size, I think 500k is the max
