edit: also check out check out the impressive coverage part 1 and part 2Â on Q’s Daybreak Bell.
Little Ton Ton
I’d imagine it would have been really hard to build those tiny gunpla on the shelves.

Six Treasures and Dream Lady by Joanna King
the funny Terrifying Vacation by Codychanz.
I take back what I said a while back about the Tierien being “fugly”. Yaya’s “China’s New Resource Research Center” featuring a four-legged Tieren looks totaly awesome
love the blue frog. ^^
“Nadleeh Armor Burst”
Sazabi with Hieisen
Mc Zaku?

This year’s entries are pretty impressive I have to admit. That room is one of the main highlights of the exhibition. Should have taken more pictures on it orz…
Btw I’ve also got some pictures too! Hope you’ll enjoy them:

Wow, now that’s a site to see. I kind of have a question and didn’t know really where to ask. I’m kind of new to gundam models ( ordered Kyrious HG 1/100 a couple days ago ). and was wondering really how hard it is to go from HG to MG. I really want to get Crossbone or Strike IWSP, but don’t want to break something if it’s really that hard, on the other hand if it’s just really time consuming and thats how a lot of people break things ( getting frustrated ), then it’s totally different.

if you have built a HG before, you could probably build a MG. you’ll probably just find that it has a lot more parts. ^^ the only MG I wouldn’t recommend for first timers is the EX-S Gundam.

Alrightie, thank you very much for your reply! Me and my friends in Houston hold you, Danny, and Michael in high regards for your gundam making skills, so if you ever find yourself in North houston texas your welcome :P. one last question if I may: I don’t have, nor do I have the money for an airbrush to paint my gundams, is it possible for me to paint my gundams classically ( with Acrylics i’d assume ), and it look good?

wow, I’m honored. thank you Marc. but I wouldn’t go so far as to compare my work with Michael Fichtenmayer’s. ^^
about the question, yes I believe so, I’ve seen some amazing painted gundams from people using nothing but paint brushes, but painting that way is another skill set all together. I’m afraid I’m at a loss as to where to find a tutorial for that. however if you’re open to getting an airbrush, an affordable one would be the tamiya basic works with compressor. another cheaper alternative is to use a self tanning kit. found out about it from one of Danny’s members: http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/6561/Gundam+Paintjob+Question.html
