​Hey everyone, welcome to the definitive and complete final submission for my project! After reviewing the official entry requirements and judging guidelines, I realized that my previous post did not fully meet all the presentation standards needed for a proper evaluation. To ensure everything complies with the competition norms, I put together a full 360 degree turntable video alongside dedicated video footage covering the model from every conceivable side. Nothing is hidden, every profile is displayed with total honesty, and all the micro details are fully visible just as the machine stands on the workbench.

​This entire build has been an unforgettable experience that elevated my skills to a completely new level. Throughout this marathon, I discovered amazing new tools, including my Gaahleri airbrushes and a dedicated workspace setup that allowed me to achieve a standard of precision I had never reached before. Pushing this kit beyond standard boundaries took everything I had. Every step was executed with uncompromising care, from organizing and cataloging hundreds of cut parts on paper plates, to airbrushing intricate metallic cellulose shades across the inner frame using chrome, gunmetal, and custom gold mixes. I completely revamped the color separation by swapping the dull factory navy plastic on the weaponry and backpack for an authentic German Grey, applied vibrant primary colors, set custom waterslide decals onto individual unmounted panels, installed the full LED harness, added photo etched metal parts, and sealed the exterior with my go to GX 114 matte topcoat, which gives the entire surface a gorgeous, velvety satin look instead of a dry, chalky finish.

​I want to extend my sincere gratitude to the contest organizers for creating this platform, for their valuable feedback, and for spotlighting my work on Instagram. A huge thank you to everyone in the community for your constant encouragement, kind comments, and support throughout the journey. Most of all, I want to thank my girlfriend for her incredible patience while I spent nearly an entire month locked in my workshop room dedicating every spare hour to this machine.

​On a deeply personal note, this project served as genuine therapy for me. Managing a health condition that causes severe hand tremors makes high precision modeling an immense challenge, but immersing myself in this kit helped steady my hands, train my motor control, and bring quiet focus to my mind. Taking raw plastic and turning it into an artistic creation full of life and character is something truly special.

​Please take a look at the full 360 degree video and all the detailed close up shots. To all my fellow participants, every single one of you created breathtaking work and it has been an absolute honor competing alongside you. Thank you all for following along, and enjoy the final reveal!
