There's something that's been bugging me a bit of late... well not as in really bugging - more like somethings got me thinking...
The SD thread is rather quiet nowadays. I remember there was a time when it was rather active, with people like Zoidx, Kukubeh, 8tvt etc posting their work. These days (no offense to anyone, k?) mostly snap fitters jer. Everyone is entitled to their own preference i know, but SDs look utterly crap unpainted. Plus, it does nothing for the modelling community - people outgrow toys (well most people
) but modelling is a different story.
Instead of ranting and complaining though, I wanna try doing something about it. A GROUPBUILD. I will also sponsor a prize -
Koto's D-Style AV-98 Ingram. I do not own a shop pr anything so I am not looking for publicity - I just wanna see more models!
Anyone else wanna chip in, feel free.
It won't work if no one's interested. I would need your help. Am thinking of limiting it to first timers (i.e people who have never painted before - which means the 'old timers' can join, but cannot contest
) and kits must be painted - be it with markers, hand painted or AB-ed. We'll get someone experienced (Vince or some zero-g fella mebbe). Not sure if we should limit it to SD - the main gundam thread also got many snap fitters. Let's time it to coincide with Litt Tak's Gundam World Cup as to get a sense of 'kan cheong'-ness
Our Zaku GB at lenny's a few years ago worked great, let's replicate that!
Any takers?
Thanks madmoz bro for taking up the initiative to bring up this event.
This thread is so inactive lately, basically I just can see jayster that still keep up with his hardwork. And NokCha with his limited edition SD.
We have 2 GBs done before that (1 is the Zaku GB and another is Sanguo GB).
Zaku GB is still ok (we still see a few nice Zaku completed) but Sanguo GB turns out to be a 'failure' as not much ppl completed the 'well-planned' work. (including myself
)
Our plan is good but ...
Prize is a good motivation to make this GB/contest to be successful. Let me go find 1-2 boxes of SD from my stock. (We will look for more volunteer, let us know if you have something in your stock and you want to clear it
)
Sorry, it might not be that expensive one. Dont expect too much coz I am not rich after all. It just serves as some motivations for the forumers to get started with painting.
But honestly, I believe we dont have the experience in organizing this. For example,
1. Who will be the judge?
2. How do we judge who will be the winner?
3. Theme for this GB?
4. Timeline? As most of the forumers are kinda of like 'part time', I myself has been stopped building kits for months.
5. Of course, we encourage as many as participation but we need to have a control as we dont want to end up 100 participations, but only 3 model kits being submitted.
Some of these are from the past experience from our Sanguo GB.
I strongly recommend this to be a SD one. But I am open to any grade, I just think that may be first timer can use SD as experiment since it is cheaper.
But on the detail, we got to sit down and have some discussion on this. (May be among a few organizers.)
But I would want to give full support on this GB. And I want to participate. Can I participate in the contest?
Thanks madmoz for bringing this thread alive.
