Ok name added!!!! Thanks for the support!!!! 2nd kit ady!

Great! hope to see your work soon!

WOW 2 OOB entries !!!! Great! Names added both in slot #3 & #14.

Gamabte bro!!!!!


Hahah!!!1 I like what i see! Actually the knee guard is a nice move! As for the light box, i think u might need to lighten up the front a little bit more. The light seems very soothing to me now, just the front (the most important part) seems a little dark in comparison. U need the light at the front to showcase your work. Just my 2 cents worth

Start seeing more n more high standard stuff coming!!!!

Those painted or original chrome (LBX got chrome?) Looks darn nice le!

Huhu since many have already posted some wips... i sos join in the fun a bit.

Sure. Name added. Not thinking of building together with the rest?

Anyway if u have already completed, u can start posting the completed kit. At least get some comments n ideas, in the case it might help to improve your built. Just suggestion

Thanks for the explanation bro !!!

Now all you need is some sharp photography!!!! Very well done!!!! I seriously love the metallic color!


Heheheh my previous post oso forgot to put spoiler.... Thanks


*Respect!!!!!! COOL! will add that in!!!! 3 entries all together!

Bro, no such thing as ruining a model kit. Modeling as a hobby, is merely an activity for you to gain some fun. Just do it. Even after completion u feel there'r still room for improvement, that's a good sign, means u have a reason to start your next kit n make it even better!!!!

Blink blink!!!! Can't wait for the clearer picture cause can't really see much now. Remember to give some "killer" pose.


This is nice!!! Honestly, i think some decal will make it even better, hope it's not too late.... (Huhu i m a decal fetish freak!!!)


Whoa! We r getting more n more good stuff coming!!!!!

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.

Roger that. Ammended!!!!

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

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...

Just share a little....

Using dry transfer with waterslide decal...





Just some sharing....

looking as clean as it should be, so far.... too bad the photo a bit hard to see for comment....

I m loving this! Gambate. Again, if the photos can be clearer, it would be even better!

Bro, u have shown a very good example on using a non expensive thing to create great stuff!!!!! Yes, the background, i agree with z3r0717, if can have in solid or plain color, it would be good!

yes scratch on it only. it's useful when u have samuel decal which normally they will have left over blank space at the sides....

of course the result will not be as nice as using dry transfer alone.... but dry transfer really hard to apply le... T.T

Whoa! i m seeing some serious sh*t here!!!!

Try borrow one from your friends or your modeling friends to help to take photos

Haha this is the good thing about making friends in modeling


P/S: if u come icw, i help you take photo la....

Nice! Overall looks as clean as it should be (though i would love to see more decals )

Btw, i think if u can brighten up the photo a little, that would be good. Also there is no action pose!!!! Guys, u will have your own thread when u post up the completed kit, so take the opportunity & ...... POST AS MANY AS U COULD!!!!! Give your work more photos, more pose, more gaya!!!!!

Yeah, more lights. i agree. the current photo doesn;t do justice to your kit. It really deserve better photos.

*************************************************************************************************************************************

Guys, just bare in mind; in the case your kit's won, ur photos might be used IN A MAGAZINE!!!! So show your pictures as u would see in a magazine!!!! Like what u see in Dengeki Hobby.
