What’s on your mind? What are you working on? Do you think Heero Yuy could fight a grizzly bear?

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. In retrospect, choosing these 3 kits may not have been the best idea due to the amount of extra work I've had to do to make them look decent, lots of sanding and putty needed, but oh well. WIP after the snap build and majority of the putty and sanding was done:

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?

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/
