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?
