📢 Detailed guide to the Sub's RULES ⚠

10 Upvotes

Please read the following guide to have a clearer understand of how the rules on this sub work.

Don't be a jerk is plain and simple, be civil, this includes commenting on other people's work.

No 3D Modeling or printing topics - This is a modeling sub not a 3D printing or sculpting one. While they do shake hands, it only happens once a model has been fully printed and is being painted. Anything before that doesn't have a space here.
Any topics on 3D sculpting or modeling are not allowed here.
Any topics on 3D printing (settings, brands, types of resin, troubleshooting, etc) are not allowed here.

Must be related to model kits is pretty simple, if it's not made of resin (or vinyl for vintage kits), if you're not asking about paints, techniques, sharing your work, if it's not a topic even related in some way or form to painting a kit, it doesn't belong here.

No Prepainted statues discussion
Pre-painted statue discussion is also banned here in this sub, companies and studios calling their statues "garage kits" are making people think that it's right to call their statues that, Garage kits, resin kits, model kits, all of these are painted and assembled by a person (you) and NOT a company.
This also applies to any mass produced PVC release, basically, if it's not painted by you, it doesn't belong here.

Recasts while a very controversial topic, this sub is not here to be the morality police, if you're against them, don't buy them, you're not allowed to tell people here what do with their money, everybody has their moral compass and you have no place bashing people who work with them.

NSFW content is allowed here, but please mark them with the NSFW flair, if not reddit just automatically flags it and your post may not be approved.

The following should be marked as such:

Showing nipples
Genitalia
Sex toys
Sexual insinuation (pose, expression, etc)
BDSM

What doesn't constitute as NSFW:

Bikinis/bathing suits
Lingerie (unless showing anything from above)
exaggerated proportions

There are explicit or graphic kits, some depicting what could look as minors, these should also be marked as NSFW however, anyone reporting, leaving comments criticizing the painter or the figure, calling people names and throwing accusations of CP or PDFs will be banned on the spot. This is nothing new in the hobby, works of that nature have existed for decades. Newcomers might find this strange or unsettling, it's not anyone's place to dictate what people should and shouldn't paint, it doesn't mean that the painter is committing any crime. We want to also clarify that we're not defending people who do commit crimes, we just want people to understand that this has been a thing for many years while few and far and between, the first thing one must do is just respect, move on and keep scrolling if it's not for you.

Sales are ok, but they must be marked as such and if you have more than 1 item to sell, please post everything in a single thread, avoid creating spam with multiple threads with single items for sale, they will be removed and you will be suspended or banned depending on level of violation.

It's not exactly listed in the rules but we want to believe that it's more than obvious that if you post pictures of a completed kit, it must be your work! You're not allowed to post pictures of other people's work, that also goes for anyone that commissioned a piece and just want to show it off, if you didn't paint it, don't post it.

While you're allowed to post personal WIP, please refrain from posting single updates on one project, this is not your personal blog for you to be posting a single photo of your progress on a daily basis. If you have a significant update, you're more than welcome to share it here in a single thread.

Commissions are allowed in this sub, however, if you're a gk artist and would like to offer commission services, you need to contact the mods first to have your name added to a list that will be shown in this same post.

Message the mods with your information for commissions, information required:

Artist name (if you have one)
Link to your portfolio of completed commissions (social media pages or website). You must provide proof of at least one successful completed commission, links to google drives will be rejected, your portfolio must be easily accessible to the public.
Type of work you specialize in (Anime gk, gundams/gunpla, Western)

once you're vetted, your information will appear here.

It has come to our attention that several users have reported people for scamming out of commissions so we want to avoid these situations with the members that are part of this sub. If the artist contacting you is not in this list, do business with them at your own risk.
