We Now Have a Full Panel of Distinguished Judges

 

We now have a panel of 5 judges, who will be critiquing entrants' work with derisive remarks a practiced eye.  And (in no particular order) here they are, listed by reddit usernames:

• HamEaterQC: Winner of Good Guy Dan's gunpla competition, and man about town
• MS14JG-2: Judge of the GundamFTWest Group Build Competition, and international man of mystery
• Karmic782: Experienced modeler.  You know in Gundam Wing when Quatre talked about the Soul/Heart of Outer Space?  He was talking about this guy.
• SuperheatedSteam: Author of the gunpla-related blog Gundariumsmith, and competitor in both previous reddit competitions, rumored to be a Newtype
• Vonschlippe: Known to many as the "Nightmare of Solomon." Experienced modeler, specialist in painting and advanced weathering 

This is a great panel of judges, and I think they're going to do a great job of making sure the winning entries are chosen based on skilled application of modeling techniques.

This is gonna be good, folks.  I'm stoked!

Gunpla Competition is Coming Along (repost from Jan 27)

Well, folks, I've just about got everything together for what I am calling the Reddit Gunpla Competition.   NOTE: This hane has been Changed

I've got some rules together and I'm running them past some folks to get some feedback.  I wasn't able to incorporate everyone's feedback and ideas, I'm afraid- this time.  But hopefully next time, I can.

Each category will have a prize, but there will not be a random prize category.  However, there is a beginner category so all the prizes won't just go to the best or most experienced modelers.

I've got some of the parts and materials for the trophies, which should be really nice and also unique.  It's kind of exciting.

I'll continue to post info in r/gunpla but if you want to be sure your info is up to date, check here.


TL;DR:  If you have any questions or concerns about anything, or want to find updates, etc. regarding the competition, come here.
