Well, they could have gone with Megaman but that might have caused problems

His face makes me think of an extremely armored parrot, but that kit looks really well done, good job.

I have a question about topcoats. I know that when I’m using a matte topcoat I should cover any clear plastic, as it causes it to fog, but should I do the same with foil stickers?

If you want them to stay shiny, yes. The matte doesn’t change clear plastic to make it foggy, it puts a microscopically bumpy layer over the surface that reflects light more diffusely.

I went to the local gunpla group's build off meetup with my Dijeh and got third place. Here's a couple of pictures and the full album here: https://imgur.com/a/0MCKoqO

Do you plan on adding people to it, like in a miniature old european square diorama with birds nesting on its shoulders. It looks the part marvellously.

I'm actually happy that the winner was an SD and not another strike/unicorn variant.

It may look menacing at first but that's just the Nightingale on some Neo Zeon wreckage. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

From what I remember of the level of detail the SDs are that's really good work. But I really like the mossy appearance and texture on yours too, That Gobbo!

You got robbed if that beat yours. Like it's good but exceedingly pedestrian aside from being SD.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. The builder put in a lot of work and scratchbuilding and his entry was my favorite of the bunch even if it was a SD. The group admins are still trying to work out the kinks in their judging criteria for our build-offs and have been trying different stuff. They started off with IPMS but that ended up too exhaustive and took forever so I think they were working with a very reduced down list of categories to work from. I ended up having the fewest categories, due to no decals or modifications to the kit, so any hit to a score hurt more than others. I don't believe there wasn't anything with regard to 'creativity' or 'uniqueness' so I will provide some feedback on that. I always do different stuff like that so it feels almost self-serving to give feedback like that...

Those are both amazing. I finally completed the RG zeta I picked up from Gundam Front a few years ago. It's not quite a grenade but it's pretty weak. I think it's pretty awesome.

The Zerachiel Gundam is an Absolute Unit of an HG Gunpla and I love it dearly  . It's also the only HG kit I've seen that uses the entire runner of Polycaps, stuffing them into every single joint right down to the sword/wing-holders. The arms don't even sag when holding the big-rear end cannons. Not a lot you can really do to customize it like some HGBF/D kits because it has no accessory tabs, but it does one thing (well, three, technically) and does it very well. It's a fun build and well worth a buy.edit: Photos!  It flies!  It Tanks!  It poses dramatically!  It has Sick-rear end GunbladesTM! The only actual partsforming on it is the kneecaps, incidentally. There's a neat little RG-like mechanism inside the lower legs that let them telescope up and down for retracting them in the vehicle modes, and the kneecap keeps the lower leg locked in place for robot mode. Pop it off, shift the leg up or down, pop it back on. Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Apr 16, 2019 |

That's a great SD and there's no shame in coming in second. You guys both did great work and it must have been a close call. I can relate to being a little salty in coming in second. Happened to me at the last model show I entered. So much of this hobby does seem subjective.

No shame in losing to that, though I do like yours better. Show them this thread with a bunch of people saying how good it is and that we rate it highly for creativity if you feel bad going "hey, this thing I would score highly on should be counted" which isn't surprising.

That is one of the better looking SDs I've seen, and I'm a huge fan of the line, so yeah no shame in that loss. Do you happen to have galleries of the stuff that you guys have done? Both of these models were incredibly well done so I'd like to see more.

  I see Barbatos arms, ZZII legs, lightning backpack weapon system II (the one on the Full Burnernrnrnr Lightning gundam) and maybe the top back thrusters are from the Rouei, but what I enjoy the most is the choice of colors.

Sweet, no FOMO. This is gonna be my exception to the "no more MGs, I'm out of space" rules. Or maybe they'll just release the E-pack as an add-on? I could slap it on the MG Jegan...
