Mecha Assembly eXperience

Foil stickers usually go straight into the bin on a custom build. For Week 15, I decided to lean into the taboo and turn the Schwarzette’s stock sticker sheet into corrupted, shattered LCD display panels.

Here's my bench breakdown:

Took the stock foil stickers and blanks, sponge-stippled dark texture onto the iridescent backing, lined them with neon ink, and sliced them down into broken display fragments.

Mixed up a neon plasma wash (4 drops AP Lens Flare Glow + 2 drops AP Disgusting Slime) to create the illusion of glowing fluid oozing out from behind the shattered screens.

Layered the clear effect parts over the glitched panels and added outer armor corrosion to give the impression that neon plasma is actively seeping through the encasings.

We are coming down to the wire! Next week, I’m pulling together a mixtape of this competition’s greatest hits—and a few B-sides—for the final wrap-up.

Thank you all for the incredible support over these last four months. 🙏
