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.
Now that the deadline has passed, I’d like to wish everyone good luck again! I’ve seen a lot of really good looking submissions pass through here and I’m really looking forward to the results.
It’s been fun building with you all, may the best entry win!
Tried to submit my piece but it seems that the timezone had to be an earlier time zone. So this is what im going to submit at this time. Not sure why it ended early. But it was fun i suppose.
I believe they mentioned in one of the episodes to remember that it was Japan time. So that would be around 12 in the afternoon for Eastern Time on the 30th.
Thank you for your post!
Indeed, as we’re in Japan and all of our business runs on JST, this competition also ended at 12am May 1st JST (entries accepted until April 30th at 11:59pm).
Though we’ve mentioned the timezone here and there — in videos, public questions, and in support emails — we realize that the timezone was not stated clearly in…[Read more]
I think for future reference it might be best to include the deadline equivalent in an EU and an NA timezones as people tend to forget that timezones are a thing.
Well here it is. I wasn’t able to finish it as fully as I wanted, but this is what I’ve got. The name is inspired by a part of the process where I accidentally discovered that I’d be able to do something interesting with the paint, as well as my original designs;
Shortly after taking pictures I messed up part of my kit. Scratched the shoulder while posing it with the shield, bent the antennae and one of the arms got really lose. :/
Painted gunpla should be handled like newborns. No jokes. Don’t touch the mods. Also, if possible, use lacquer + top coats to protect the paints. Even better, sand/polish EVERY panel.
Not bad !
Ty 🙂
