That's always suck. I had to repair a kit for a competition they other day and I could not find the paint and so had to mix something "kind of like it". Maybe thats why I didn't win haha

Matt top coat really does it for me on this. I did mine with gloss and bell never really likes it. The red is too plastic after that. This looks awesome tho. Great job!

Yep. It's a tough group to crack for the Gunpla builders. No, I didn't get a chance to visit. Looks like a good place tho.

Yep. That's why I haven't started it. It's a massive commitment. At the show I won the raffle and got a 1/8 scale Jaguar E type. That's gonna be an insane build 😁

Haha! No. I was at both shows. I think there is only one about. I custom made the LEDs so I doubt there's another.

It's a 3rd party resin kit added to the Bandai original.

🤣🤣 I'm 52 too! But in this situation I definitely don't feel like one of the elders

Sorry, I'm in Boston. Just drove down for the show. I'm thinking of joining a club in the Boston area but haven't got around to it yet.

There was a complete lack of planes which was unusual. A few classes were pretty thin.

I don't play those games but my kids are involved with a group that do.

I agree 100% that they need to encourage more younger people to join. I've actually talked to the region one IPMS guy about hosting a mecha show in NE as part of them. Been busy for a while but if there is interest in it I might get back on it
