To kick off the new year, Animeggroll always likes to do a build competition that has a different flare than our regular competitions. As such, we are looking forward to having our first ever Double Kit Build Competition!

Competitors will receive two model kits, the SD Nobunaga Epyon (Dark Mask Ver.) & SD Verde Buster Team Member, and have 4 hours to build and customize their models. Both model kits will need to be built or incorporated in competitor’s build. The Models Kits can be done as two separate builds, done together as one diorama, kit-bashed into one model kits, etc. Unlike most competitions there will be no judges and the winners of this competition will be voted on by the competitors. Builders are free to build the model however they like; some people incorporate the model into a diorama, some will just do a custom build and paint of the kit and others will just do the cleanest build that they can.

Rules:

Each competitor will be provided with a working space of 1.5 X 3 feet. Anything being used in the build must fit in that space at the start of the competition. No spray, aerosol, or air brush painting is allowed. The model kit provided must be assembled at the competition and should be the focal point of your finished display. Any diorama pieces or external kit accessories can be preassembled before the competition.

Starting at 1:00 PM, builders will have 4 full hours to work. No modifications can be made to a builders kits after the 4 hours have elapsed. Once the 4 hours is up, builders will then have 5 minutes to stage their display. The staging process allows the builder to position their work and remove anything not part of their final display off their work area. Judges may factor anything remaining in the work space into their judgments.

After the competition is over, competitors own the kit and are free to take it home. However, if they’d like, they can leave their finished work to be displayed at the store until the next competition or whenever they wish to pick it up.
