 Well folks, it is done. We had an absolutely massive turn out and this took forever to judge and evaluate. Before I post the reviews i'm going to go over our criteria and try to give you a frame of reference for what we look for in competition models. I've been judging competitions using IPMS rule sets for several years now and i was joined by judges who excel in clean building, resin figures, and scratch building. My particular expertise is in weathering and kitbashing. What does a judge look for? The entries were judged on 3 categories: Basics. This includes seam fixing, surface preparation, and the application of in box components. Paint. This is solely the application of paint. Details.This includes any additional parts not included in the kit box and parts on the model smaller than 5mm. Entries in this competition were judged based on the merits of the kit and it's finish alone with no extra merits awarded for modification, basing, etc. That being said here are all th...

From the Backlog: You got Katoki'd

Image
This kit has been looming in the background of my WiP's for almost a year. Katoki's redesign of The Okawara classic Wing Gundam. Not sure what sense that makes but hey it's Bandai so it doesn't really need to. I've wanted to do a Wing series kit for a while now mostly because it was my gateway into the world of Gundam. Every afternoon at 4:30 my eyes were glued to the tv screen in want of glorious mecha combat. Despite having a poor narrative and a ridiculous amount of recycled stock animation 8 year old me was in love. So, what's the verdict on this kit? Not great unfortunately. The frame is decent enough if a bit skinny but the redesigned rifle does nothing for me. The proportions are strange too making it look more like a giant power ranger than a combat mech. The backpack in particular irks me. The way the wings are connected make moving them a major pain as well as giving them a very limited range of motion. It also begs the question, how d...

A Gundam builder's guide to IPMS

Image
I've been building models for over 10 years now and competing for close to 5. In that time I've learned some hard, painful lessons but I've also made some of the best friends of my life. Competing in model building is a very unique and rewarding experience and I hope to better equip you for what is to come! I want to take a moment to say thank you to those of you support me on  Patreon ! If you're not subscribed yet, go check it out and consider signing up for as little as 1$ per month. I raffle off some of my completed works once per year and take tutorial requests from all patrons! It seems to me that the dudes who spend their time gluing bits of plastic together to make model robots should have a lot in common with the dudes who glue bits of plastic together to make model planes and tanks. But walk around the sci-fi sectiont at an IPMS show and you’ll almost certainly hear someone complaining that “these IPMS guys just don’t know what they’re doing whe...
