I’m working on my GBWC (official contest) entry currently. Hopefully, I’ll wrap up the painting portion in the next couple days, then it will be on to panel lining.
I’m doing 3 HG kits, GN Archer, Arios, and Harute, on a display. I don’t have experience creating dioramas, so the display will just be some foam board and paint.

WIP after the snap build and majority of the putty and sanding was done:
You don’t have to do anything to a kit in order to enter, as long as it’s within regulation. The main thing is you must use official Bandai Gunpla or Gundam-themed kits, including decals. Things like putty, pla plate, LEDs, and other “general modeling materials” are also permitted. Official regulations here: https://gbwc.bandai-hobby.net/en/regulation/

What all do you have to do to a kit to enter? Does it have to be fully custom or does a nice paint job stand a chance of placing?
