MG Delta Plus Recolour Challenge at GAF!

MG Delta Plus Recolour Challenge!

Exploding onto shelves across Japan today is Bandai's latest Master Grade release from the Gundam Unicorn series, the Master Grade Delta Plus! 

We here at Gundam Australia are very excited about this release, and to celebrate we are offering our members the opportunity to participate in a Delta Plus re-colouring challenge with the opportunity to win some awesome prizes courtesy of our sponsors Hobbylink Japan! 

It's quite simple, all you have to do is build and paint an MG Delta Plus kit using colours that are different to the stock colour scheme, (of course being mindful of basic techniques such as nub and seam removal will be to your advantage). Complete your kit by November 30th, 2011 and post it up in this thread at Gundam Australia for your chance to win some great prizes courtesy of Hobbylink Japan. Our members will vote for the top three entries, the ranking of which will be decided by a GAF judging panel.

So what are you waiting for? Get cracking GAF! By all accounts it looks to be an awesome build, and I am a big fan of the Zeta style look of the design.

Get yours now at HLJ.


For some ideas on where some of our members are going with their kit and a whole lotta pics, see the discussion topic here.

Recolour challenge rules are as follows:

Must be an MG Delta Plus
Must be painted in a different pallette to stock colours
Must be completed by November 30th, 2011
Observing basic modelling techniques would be to your advantage

Please post any questions in this thread.

Prizes: *TBC soon!

Gauntlet of the Apocalypse Countdown

Dramatic, suspenseful, crescendoing, and worth every bit of the 1:38 it takes to watch.

Brilliant effort. Thanks very much to Kjasi for his awesome video. More at Gunpla Battle Ground

Gauntlet bearers, the time is nigh.

THE CATAPULT: GAF Member Feature MG Sinanju by Garret Masterson

A master stroke, Mr Masterson.

Achieving a beautiful even shine with a metallic coat is all in the prep work, and Garret has demonstrated great patienece and attention to detail here with his flawless orange metallics.

A nicely selected shade for the internals, some precise trim work, and expertly applied decals round out a Sinanju that sets itself apart from the pack by way of a professional finish.
