Scoring Categories Concept The Concept of the build will be judged on overall appearance, prop design and quality, and thematic use of parts and accessories Prop Use The build’s Prop Use will be judged on the complexity and function of the props, as well as their accuracy to real-world equivalents

Posing Your gunpla’s Posing will be judged based on how well the pose communicates actions being taken, and any relevant emotions for the displayed situation

Entry Rule 5: You Get One Anyone who chooses to enter may only do so once, and only with one set of props. Any exceptions must be requested BEFORE submitting the build for entry, and will need a really good reason behind it

Entry Rule 4: How to Submit You will need to tag me in your post with the hashtag #RadiantRevelry and all four of your photos. If people would prefer email, though, I’ll set one up

Rule 1: Your build must use a pre-built gunpla as the main body Mods, add-ons, and paint are all allowed from any source, but you have to start with a gunpla, no Robot Spirits or Gundam Universe or what-have-you Rule 2: Any grade and scale of gunpla is allowed, as is mixing grades and scales

Rule 3: Your build must have a beach or ocean theme. Anything from pier fishing to scuba diving is allowed, as long as it’s clearly from a summer trip to see the sea

Rule 4: No plagiarizing other builds Obviously, there will be some overlap between builds if people pick the same kit or activity as their design intent, but I’m gonna be doing some investigating if two people show up with the same final outcome

Rule 5: No AI This is for people who build gunpla, not machine slop Rule 6: PG-13 No nudity or gore or whatever. I’m not willing to police people’s age for these challenges, so you only get one f-bomb and that’s it

You don’t need to go big to do well Maybe a volleyball scene? A net and ball should be pretty easy yo make quickly
