u/ByzantiUhm 1d ago

That's not true, you're also the best at being you.

Also GUNPLA IS FREEDOM.

Thank you so much. I'll do my best next year as well as there were alot of good builds this year.

u/sharktopus_attack 1d ago

Hell yeah, the work is excellent and the award? Well deserved. I'd seen your WIP the other day and thought this might have Reginlaze in it but to know that it's parted together as much as it is really impressed me. 👏

u/sharktopus_attack 1d ago

Also just looked at some of your other kits and I'm absolutely going to follow your work, holy shit lol

3

u/dominicle153 Numb to straight build, only kitbash. 1d ago

I can see your point there. I did made a Reginlaze build last year and won second with it. It is on the organizer website as well as my profile if you want to check it out

You are severely underestimating your potential to be the best at something!

Perhaps you are the best in the world at biting your fingernails! (Gross, but whatever.)

Maybe no one butters bread like you!

I have it on good authority that u/dominicle153 is unparalleled in their ability to put a kettle on for a cuppa!

What I'm trying (and failing) to say is: congratulations!

u/dominicle153 Numb to straight build, only kitbash. 1d ago

I like your funny words, mägic man. But all and all, thanks for the kind words and your effort putting it out there.

u/LacklusteHero 1d ago

Brevity is the soul of wit, so getting any comedy out of that at all is a miracle.

u/Professional-Tap300 1d ago

Great job, really sick build!!

u/SkyriderRJM 1d ago

Well deserved for that kitbash!

u/dominicle153 Numb to straight build, only kitbash. 1d ago

Hit a bit different when it's coming from you. Love your work as well

u/SkyriderRJM 18h ago

Appreciate the compliment, but I’m just another guy too! ;)

Honestly your scratchbuilding here is inspiring. I haven’t even dared trying anything like that yet; been a bit intimidated to (and have way too many other projects in queue… the list, it never ends!!)

u/TruculentBucket 23h ago

It takes a high level of multiple skills to build something like this. Hand skills, effort, patience, creativity. Well-deserved trophy but don’t sell yourself short on your talents. Congrats.

u/Ablonthewhite 23h ago

So fucking well deserved man, what a great model, what a great work!

congrats!

u/fdotaku 22h ago

Congratulations! You should try recreating a Dota hero from a gunpla

u/dominicle153 Numb to straight build, only kitbash. 19h ago

Maybe Sven is the easiest based on what I have

u/FaultedToast45 21h ago

It was sick to see in person. Hopefully the person with the O also posts or at least one of the kit bashes to the left or right of yours also posts.

1

u/dominicle153 Numb to straight build, only kitbash. 19h ago

Hi y'all, this is the O in question and for you, the two kitbashes are also mine. I have posted those kitbashes as well.

I feel like I'm decent at weathering light colored kits but I can't seem to do a good job on dark. This looks great.
