This will be my final WIP (if all according to plan that is )

The entries + WIPS shown are all amazing guys. Keep it up.

Missed this round.. Hope there will be one like this in near future.

Yes, it's graphite powder as shauno said.

However, be very careful not to be confused about the mirror reflect glossiness.

The glossiness comes from the fine finishing of the black paint done by Shauno, NOT the powder. Even without the powder, i bet his spoon already mirror finish. Wiping with the chrome just add a touch of metallic onto the surface.

Many people thinks this powder do magic, but the truth is: it doesn't. Still need the skill to create the mirror reflective glossiness first, before adding the powder n make it looks like real chrome.

heh. only for the swords lahhh.. trying to achieve what the Exia ignition mode has- chrome plated swords.. looks quite do-able.. but not high pressure to make sure that the surface has been prepped properly.. else sad face

no sad face, no sad face!!!! Just do it man!!! Gambate!!!!

Me no skills for that yet bro.. Hopefully me and my bro will slowly get to it!

By looking at the number of entries so far, I'd say things will be fine.

Though I was curious..since both categories have this photography judging criteria..thought of just want to try post something on photography even though I did not participate in any of the categories.. Not sure if that's allowed..

Bro, this is a thread for plastic modeling GB. So we share our work, n our findings n experiences; including photography for modeling.

So if u have any tips regarding scale model photography, please do share with us here

my MG Unicorn only completed its torso & waist unit about a week ago, and I haven't touched it ever since. got a lot of things going on now. not enough time (or energy) to spend on this GB. hopefully I'll make it in time

I'm still sanding my PG ARF......hopefully can make it on time too.

Just cant wait your final photos!!!!!

Come on guys, Gambate!!!!! How can plastic modelers give up so easily one Huhuhuhu

rayloke-san, pls change my entry to HG Avalanche Astrea

Roger that. Ammended!!!!

I guess choosing a mecha with more vibrant color does give your work some advantages. Good choice!

btw do HG Avalanche Astrea exist?

It don't exist as far i aware but i don't think it hard to replace Exia with Astrea tho.

Edit: Just wondering it is ok that to have a piece that have been remove seemlines only on one side to enter as part of the snapfit as that piece i used on removing seamlines long time ago.

why not? as long as u dont mind showing the grey color putty, or color difference (if u use color to cover it) that will deduct your point...
