[RANDOM] Gundam Model Kit Contest PH 2017 Part 2

So I've decided to join this year's GMKC even though painting isn't one of my strongest areas. But what the heck right.

So decided to start with something simple, and easy. And since I had a lot of gold paint left from a previous project, I will be using it as the main color for my entry.


And since my personal preference if to follow the original color schemes, I bought the HG Hyaku Shiki revive as my entry. I also got a HG Petit'gguy as a testing kit.




I was very satisfied with the result of the test with the Petit'gguy that I decided that I'll just submit it as an entry too in the contest. 

The paints I used was Zurc's Venetian Gold and Zurc's Hyper Silver. I just miked them to get the shade I wanted. More Hyper Silver, the shade gets lighter, and vice versa.

Zurc's paints is a series of paints produced locally. Though currently a bit small, they're slowly getting attention from the local gunpla community with their wide range of colors, And they're still working on adding more.

So after I finished working on the HG Petit'gguy. It's now time to start working on the Main entry itself.









I'm really satisfied with the result. Though it's quite hard to get the effect on camera, it has the effect similar to the MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0. 

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get more pics of the kit and even during the submission. I'll try to do a proper photo shoot after the contest..

Since our house is still under renovation, and we're currently living in an apartment, I don't have much space to work on my projects. 


Also it was a bit too late when I decided to join the contest so I didn't have much time to work on the kit and do some proper building techniques. Hopefully I get more time to work on my entry when I decide to join again.

Finally had some free time to do another post here. I've been busy with a lot of stuff recently that this post got so much delay. 

Anyway, It's high time again for Gunpla fans here in the Philippines because it's the GMKC or Gundam Model Kit Contest sponsored by Bankee/Toy Kingdom. Aside from GBWC, GMKC is one of the major Gunpla competitions here. Unlike the GBWC where anything goes. GMKC focuses on OOB + custom painting. Basic building techniques still apply like seam line removal, v-fin sharpening, and pre-painting mods. Aside from those, nothing else can be done or added into the kit. Only what's included in the kit can be used. No scratchbuilding, no kitbashing. The finished kit should appear as what it is in the box, albeit in a different color scheme (if you want).



This year, I tried my luck and entered the contest. But that will have to be for another post. Here I'll just share my experience during the 1st day of the event.


I arrived tat the event past noon a there were a lot of people that day. The venue has three sections. One side would be the display area where contestants will display their entries.


On the other end would be the merchandise area where people can buy Gunpla kits. There were also event "exclusive" kits available for sale.




The middle area was a display area for winning pieces of past champions and some series being promoted. 







I wasn't able to take more pics of the event specially the entries since there were a lot of people that time and I was a bit in a hurry. I will try to visit again, maybe this week to get a better shot of the event.

Welcome

Welcome to MechTalyer. My personal space for everything Gunpla.
