Hello everyone! It's been some time, and because of my busy sched and the recently finished GBWC Philippines this year, I wasn't able to post as much. As promised I was able to cram an entry I thought was worthy enough to be put against the other entries in my category. My WIP post was never completed so i'll be including a few pics of it as well.
So to begin this post, I wasn't planning on originally joining again this year but one faithful day, I passed by the shop and I cant help it haha I just had to. Bought the HG Unicorn destroy mode so that it would be less of a hassle to build and paint.
Spent the first 2 weeks on assembling and modifying the kit as far as my imagination can carry. I usually work on projects like this months before the event, and knowing I had less than a month I really had to do the most with the little time I had. Got to complete painting in 2 days and another day to weather and panel line which was a day before the competition itself. (yes I crammed it)
It was also nice to see that two of my models are still being displayed in these kinds of events.
If you want to take a better look, i'll be putting the links under.
So much for a grand unveiling.. anyway, this was the final outcome of my submission. Nothing too fancy, and as you can see I wasn't able to work on a diorama due to the lack of time.
But at the end of the day, I brought home the bacon! I actually grabbed second place (don't mind the trophy they had a problem with the printing) despite the rushed build. I know I can do so much better, which I will try to do again next year. So I guess you can say that size does not matter :) everyone has a equal chance to win in competitions like this. I was so inspired by all the entries submitted this year, and it makes me want to do way better in the following competitions.
And just my luck, I got the one and only Katsumi Kawaguchi who was a judge this year to sign my box! (seen at the back) All in all, this GBWC was a great experience, and I hope to see more from this growing community next time!
The win came with a bunch of fresh kits, which means more things to unbox! haha Stay tuned for this! Till next time.
