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 February 28th, 2012 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 February 28th, 2012
Observing basic modelling techniques would be to your advantage

Please post any questions in this thread.

Prizes:

1st Prize: MG Full Armor Unicorn



Runners Up: HG Banshee (Destroy Mode) & HG Banshee (Unicorn Mode)



Did I not promise some AWESOME prizes?

Thanks very much of course to our awesome sponsors Hobbylink Japan.

[TheBloody13th]

wish I could join. but the weather here is terrible, that and I'm a noob

[Xenomorph]

Don't even have the model yet and I'm already playing with ideas =P.

Currently am working on a new rifle and is also my first real attempt into modding a kit.



Small steps 

[Shifty]

Not sure if i will be able to join this build..... the lady is getting on me bout the budget as I just dropped a pile on a couple of new bits of studio eqp

[zahmad]

I haven't even started on ReZel!

[fury-s12]

looks like alot of people should have their delta with held until their rezel is completed

can you enter this competition sonar?, if not i volunteer to take over it so you can enter and therefore have more incentive to complete your rezel and this cant help you with the time needed for such an entry but im only one person lol

[Sonar]

Good to see a head start!

No, I won't be eligible for any prizes, but I am working hard on my ReZEL so I can participate.

[Hemish]

So being the gundam noob that I am, we have the MG Unicorn, MG Rezel and now this, are there any MG bad guys from the unicorn anime??

MG Sinanju 

Indeed. Love Sinanju....

[ZETA NEWTYPE]

Can't wait to see the entries on this one! I'm all about the stock colors on this one so i'll be sitting this one out, but will be following with extreeeeeeme interest!

[thegunny]

can you enter this competition sonar?

I think the recolour requires more than just primer 

[TheBloody13th]

I'll be doin an OOB, so this will be a pass. but good luck guys

[zenma5ter]

Tempted but pass. Good luck guys, would be interesting to see what you guys came up with. I dare someone to paint it in different shade of yellow with hexagonal lines all over the kit!
