Gundam are
plastic models, and conventional Basic Modeling Skills are required to
produce an acceptable representation of these fighting suits. They are
no different from car, plane, ship and armor models -
FIT, FINISH AND PRESENTATION ARE CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF JUDGING
BEGINNER & OUT-OF-BOX MODELS
JUDGING BASED ON AN
ASSESSMENT OF CONSTRUCTION & FINISH SKILLS
|
1. Models SHOULD NOT display evidence of
the following Construction issues:
|
- Glue marks
- Visible nubs
- Uneven sanding
|
- Gaps - improper fit issues
- Surface
imperfections (unintentional)
- Poor
seam treatment (unintentional)
|
2. Models should
have a uniform non-paint finish, without unintentional flaws.
3. Kit-supplied stickers and/or decals are acceptable, but must be applied
well.
4. Parts such as gun barrels or exhausts may be drilled out.
5. Static poses are allowed - but the pose should not detract from the
overall presentation |
ADVANCED
& MODIFIED MODELS
JUDGING BASED ON
CONSTRUCTION, FINISH AND PRESENTATION
1. Overall
Construction is expected to be free of the imperfections listed above.
2. Models SHOULD NOT display evidence of the following Finish issues: |
|
- Uneven or messy paint
- Visible brush strokes
- Uneven tone (unintentional)
|
- Untreated panel lines
- Decal
silvering
- Inconsistent
application
|
|
3. Weathering, battle
damage and/or advanced finishing techniques should be performed with
skill, and be applied consistently over the entire model.
4. Modifcations and enhancements, whether after-market or scratch-built,
should be carried out with skill, and improve the overall look of the
original kit.
5. The pose should take advantage of the inherent capabilities of the
design of the model.
6. The overall presentation should enhance the impact of the model - poor
or unimaginative
7. Presentation may reduce overall score. |
