Finally, getting around to posting up the pictures from SCGMC 2024

It’s been a busy end of 2024, hell, most of 2024 was crazy busy for me. Finally getting around to posting up the pictures from the show

Here are some quick stats for the show this year. We have a total of 122 individual entrants. And a total of 310 model entries. That’s crazy.

Here is a screen cap of our winners list

Note that our Theme and Experts only have a single winner but our calculating spreadsheet shows the two runners up. Also notice how close some of the first, second, and third place winners are in points. You guys are getting crazy good! We’re also working on improving judging and going to try to do more splits for categories that are huge.

Remember, the theme for this coming year’s SCGMC is ROBOCROSS; broken down, you can see Robotech and Macross, but with any of our themes, just by name alone, we know you guys will run with that and throw us some very creative takes on the theme. See you all in November!

Entry Grade Nu Gundam: the two week build

Kicking off at midnight August 1st, I cracked open the box and clipped a few parts off the tree and called it a night as I had an early morning.

But a day or so later, I started getting into the clean up work for the kit. The V-fins always need shaping to sharpen them up and remove the kid friendly non pointy bits. There were only 2 seams, well, two seams *I* dealt with, the chest and the gun. I guess the shoulders could have a seam, but I was too lazy to deal with that. There were however, a shit ton of mold lines. They were everywhere. I even missed a few and needed to go back to sand those down even after I had gotten the part painted. Second layer of paint too.

Finally, finished the damn P Bandai MG Hazel

So, I had completely forgotten that I didn’t actually finish this project. It has been in psudo-limbo for the past 4 and a half years. The last update to this project was actually in October 2017. I actually continued to build up through November 18, 2017 and then stopped. Holiday season was upon us, things happened, and the last bit of the project got shelved. We’ll go back to those last undocumented two weeks before coming to finishing this project within the last 10 days. So below is the last picture from the last post and what the kit looks like now.

Jump ahead to close out the story on this, supposedly, quick build that only took almost 5 years to complete. (more…)
