New Monthly Contest!! I know all of us have unpainted models out
there and some of us procrastinate the most on the big models! So this
month anyone who enters will have 30 days to paint a 50mm model. It can
be any figure as long as it has a 50mm base (Example: Epic Borka, Khador
Destroyer, Extreme Carnivian etc...)

Judging will start on July
1st where the top 5 Unit's will be selected by the admins. The Best of
Show award will be voted by everyone in the group out of the top
five. There will be two categories entrants will be eligible for,
Masters and Mercenaries. **You may only enter Masters if you have
previously entered our painting contests and have placed within the top 5
previously.** Judges reserve the right to move your entry into Masters
category if we feel your painting is of high enough level.

Entries will be judged July 3rd at a time yet to be determined by the admin staff.

NO GUNPLA for almost a month now...

I have been staying at work ( in the office ) since October 6 and it has been a while since I last blogged. Managed to squeeze a bit of time to blog today as there is a Halloween party of sorts here at work. We are currently working on a very complex project at work as of the moment, but I should return to Gunpla very soon.

GBWC 2014 was so much fun eventhough I failed to join for the 3rd straight year. My daughter won her 2nd bronze at GBWC 2014, she is asking for a trigger type airbrush this Christmas and vows to do better than bronze next year. Dang hobby gets more expensive every year.

I deeply apologise to all my clients whom I have pending commissioned works, will focus on my commission works once I return to Gunpla next month.

The GBWC 2014 here in the Philippines was extra special as I got Master Kawaguchi autographed all my ancient Gunpla trophies. Great stuff, hope to join next year's event with an entry.

Should make this space more active by next month. Thanks as always for the support guys! :)

Junkbots Kriz modeled by RZERO1

One of the most creative artists I know, Raymond Celeste aka rzero1 just finished another cool looking robot!

This is yet another addition to Ray's ever growing line up of concept scrap / scratch built robots and he named it JunkBot Kriz. Named after one of our good friend Kriz who is a fellow admin of MAC forums. As always Ray's JunkBot looks cool and has his patented rusty finishing and small custom base. Great little stuff that I automatically wanted to share with my readers.

Here is the link to a ton more photos of this little critter at Raymond's website...

AOR_OR_DIE of Italy is now in the Philippines!

Omar aka Aor_or_die of Italy and of Gundam Dreams arrived in the Philippines a couple of days ago, and I together with a handful of MAC people met with him yesterday.

I met Omar back in BAKUC 2008 in Hong Kong and has always been sharing notes and works since then. It is super nice to see a friend in person that came from a very distant place ( 20 hours of travel from Italy to the Philippines ). I was very excited to see him since I posted this post and his masterpieces a while back, but I honestly could not describe the great feeling of seeing him in person once again.

It was also sooooooooooooo inspiring to see Omar's " MONSTERPIECE "of a kit! It is nice to see his PMS-007 Jaguar as it slowly comes to life in his website ( Gundam Dreams ), BUT it is breath taking to see all those scratch built pieces in person! Omar has outdone himself and is about to come up with the badest " monsterpiece " / Monster Grade to date!

This hobby has been so fun for the past 4 years and meeting other ( international and local ) modelers and making great friends is truly what any hobby is ALL ABOUT!

I totally enjoyed 9 hours of chatting with Omar and his friend Anar. I hope they enjoy the rest of their stay here in the Philippines, as they swim inside the crater of a volcano ( Mt. Pinatubo ) and swim with the Butandings ( Whale Sharks ) in Palawan! I also hope Omar gets to see a Tarsier as he told me he loves monkeys very much ( lol ).

A ton of THANK YOUs to both Omar and Anar for all the food and beers yesterday! And super thanks for my first resin kit and my daughter's HG Gaddes kit! Another great Gunpla experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life ( great stuff ).

Have a great one in the Philippines guys!

28mm Rhino King painted by Roman aka JAR photo

WOW! Just saw this today from Massive Voodoo and it made my jaw dropped to the ground.

Forget that this is a 28mm figure... the painting looks like it is at least 5 to 10 inches tall. Imagine packing that much details and color shifts on less than a few inches of 3D canvas! I wish I tried this miniature stuff earlier... great stuff but I need to get magnifying lens soon ( lol ).

The sculpt ( figure ) is by Allan Carrasco's Rhinotaure and was painted and modelled by Roman aka JAR to Rhino King. I can't work on my first miniatures until the weekend... However I could blog about my new interest everyday and try to poison other people.

This is out of this world stuff, Humanly impossible work from Roman aka Jar. Anyways details and a ton more photos of this stuff at Massive Voodoo, here is the link guys...

my 2012 Mecha Contest project - concept inspirations

2012 Mecha Contest, 2012 verDC23 project, competition, concepts, Guest Artist, MAC competition No comments

All concept robot art were taken from concept robots.blogspot.com

I have yet to submit my ENTRY PASS for the 2012 Mecha Contest at Mech Arts Community ( MAC )Forums. But I brought my entry kit here in the office and and is starting to brain storm some designs with the help of robot artworks I took from concept robots.blogspot.com.

I will keep it as a surprise for now on what kit I will be working on. But me joining our own contest is just a call to the ( friendly ) challenge of Kenny Lim aka Toymaker as he just submitted his entry pass yesterday.

My 2012 Mecha Contest entry is going to be sort of a Toymaker versus DC23 part 2! Anyways, I figured I'd share to you my great concept robot finds earlier today. This post will serve as my quick reference as I work on my project soon.

Needless to say, I vow to beat Kenny this time around! lol
