A fair attempt, the all-black look could be better with some different shades and perhaps a brighter colour panel lining to give some contrast. Photographs provided are a little blurry so some aspects where not all that visible. For first-time pla plating it’s not that bad, I think it looks better than my first attempts. You’ve shown a good understanding of the process of modifying stock kits for purpose. I would however advise working on foundational skills such as painting, seam line removal and panel lining before tackling heavy modification. Thank you for entering, I know entering any compo as a beginner can be a little daunting, just keep on working on those skills - you’ll improve much quicker than you expect.
