Guys, I m impressed. So many nice photos n kits just come within a day!!!!!! Fuyooh!!!!!! Will go check them out again after this!!!


*************************************************************************************************************************************

Announcement:

Vince n I has discussed and we decided to sponsor out another 3 awards due to such response!!!!! Pardon us if the prizes are not as attractive if u compared to the main ones, we pull our wallet for such prizes (Dont call us cheapo)


And we have decided the awards will not based on the completion or points given by the judges; but in fact, we will just ask them to pick a kit as they like it; either based on the attitude of the builder, or a special characteristic of the built that connects to the judge himself.

Scratching our head, we finally decided to call them, since one will be picked by LYN represented judge, n one will be from pla-zone:



LYN Special Award





Pla-Zone Special Award




***********************************************************************************************************************************

Besides that, in order to thank an international sifu's support of the GB, we also add one more:

International Modeler Award





Huhu, we r just trying to make the whole event more interesting, pls pardon us if u think we make this looks like pasar malam

Anyway, 1 more day for submission!!!!!!

Let's meet during mid year & have fun!!!!! Hope to see u guys in person!

YESSS! These r so much nicer!!!!!


I really like it, especially the effort u put into weathering!!!!


Thanks so much for the support!!! Gambate!!!!!


Whoa! Bro, u really r a pleasant surprise!!!!!


No worries... Gambate!!!!!

Announcement:

- Deadline for submission: 2359 / 11:59pm TONIGHT

(Hint):
- By 1159pm, the admin in Pla-zone will STOP putting up threads into sticky. Any thread, although with the title starting with "BTB:...", if not being put into sticky, will not be judged.

- so if u really cannot upload all photos up, u can just open a thread with one photo inside first, to secure the place. then only slowly upload other photos n write your description in the post.

- We have told the judges the deadline, n they might start judging 12am onwards. (But personally, i think high chance the judges will only start tomorrow).

- Anyhow, try to upload all photos as soon as possible. In case the judges really so hardworking If they open your thread n only see one photo, u can imagine how much point u will get, or lose....

**************************************************************************************************************************************

- Results will be announced on 1st June 2012

- on 3rd June (Sunday) after 10pm, the set up n submission for Bandai mid year competition in Sg wang. U can either bring your kit to Sg Wang that night or latest by 4th June (Monday) before 12pm lunch time. Just tell Litt Tak's people u r submitting the kit for Group Build, n they will open the cabinet for you to put your kit for display.

- If u really cannot make it by then (especially if u r the winner), eg, u r outstation, we strongly encourage u to mail or tumpang a friend to do it. We r setting up a small podium in the cabinet during the display to showcase who r the winners; i think it's a bit potong stim if the winner place is empty.

- Besdies that, u can always bring the kit to ICW (www.icw.net.tc), where we can help u do the submission.

- Depends on the reason, failing to submit your entry, might cause disqualified, or we just move the position; letting the next highest point entry to take over your place (Dont worry, we r flexible. This is for those who r "too lazy for this", "too lazy for that")


*************************************************************************************************************************************

- Prize giving

- Date: 10th June 2012

- Time: around 5pm after the Bandai mid year prize presentation

- Venue: We try to get a space from Litt Tak, unless most members prefer to do it in mamak or McD or food court. Using Litt Tak space has advantage: It will be easier for everybody to collect his kit n take photos. We r hoping to get Hobbimax to cover our gathering in the magazine too.

- Pls do inform your friends or family too. We welcome all, even those who r not in the GB, to share our moment.

- In the case u cannot attend the gathering, pls do let me or VinceC know. We will help collect your entry (Sunday is the last day for mid year too). If u r a winner, the prize will be kept either with ICW or VinceC, depends on which one is more convenient for u.

- We r not going to pos the prize... (We already sponsor quite some goodies, so sayang our wallet a bit, dont ask us to bare the postage anymore.... )

- Unclaimed prizes after one month will be forfeited, either goes back to the sponsor or be used for future group builds.


**************************************************************************************************************************************

For Hobbimax Magazine

- For Champions of both Snapfit n OOB: Please prepare hi-resolution photos (at least 1600 pix n above, usually the file size per photo is around 3~6Mb), as many as possible, burn into a CD, or thumbdrive, or an download site, so we can use it for big pictures in Hobbimax.

- Besides, do a writeup about your kit. What to write? Huhu, this is the most common question Just imagine your kit in the magazine, what u want the readers to read about? Or u can see how Dengeki or hobby japan, what the autors wrote about. Easiest, read Hobbimax past issues n see what other modelers wrote.

- For ALL participants - if possible, email me (rayloke2003@gmail.com) one photo (no need that hi resolution) that u want to be appeared in the magazine, and your name u want to appeared in the magazine. It can be either ur real name, or a pseudonym/nickname (eg Loke Ah Kau or Rayloke)

- Besides that, i know some of u have some canggih cameras, do bring them during the gathering on 10th June (sunday). We will try to snap some nice, fun, n happy photos of malaysia modelers gathering; to increase our bet to make the magazine feature it in the magazine. So do wear smart, do some happy, funny or maybe a bit weirdo pose photographs... lol


************************************************************************************************************************************


Door gift:

- We r thinking of giving all participants something to show appreciation of your support. Currently our budget is almost kosong liao So the door gift we only have budget for less than RM10 for each person.

- Currently we thinking of custom print decals by vasthobbies.com.

- if u have any jalan, which something a few ringgit yet is good for modelers pls voice out or pm me. Eg, u know a hobby shop has some gundam goodies which he cannot sell n willing to let go at very cheap price...


- We r trying our best to make this event a memorable one, so if u have any good ideas, do voice out too thanks in advance!!!!!!

All entries will be displayed in the mid year, unless the owner doesn't want to do so. the event is for ALL participants!!!!! Not only for winners.

Only winners we strongly want the kit to be displayed. Serious, if the champion really no-show, on sunday night VincC n i will come to a conclusion what to do ...

Of course, if both days (submission n prize giving gathering) u can make it that will be super nice!


U r welcome, n thank you for your support too!

Ok, is there anyway u can try to arrange? any updates u can always pm me, n i try to help as i could.

n hope to meet u in person one day!


Cool bro!!! Ok, we believe work always come first, hobby second. Try your best. The submission is more important as i say cause if there's prize, we can still keep it for ya for a month.

Of course, prizes aside, the main thing is we malaysia modelers from all different background, race, n age (ahem... ok i m an uncle) can meet each other n have fun. Is always good to meet people that share the same interest:D


Try your best bro. If there's any specific difficulties, do pm me n see how i can help out.


Sorry bro.... the snapfit category already closed..... But if u want, u still can bring the kit for display....

no worry, if u trust me or VincC, we can always help u collect the kit first. Later when u free only collect back from either one of us.. no worries, there will be a bunch of us in sg wang on that sunday

No worries bro. anything keep us updated. For the kit, u can either ask someone from mygundam, or even icw can help u jaga first. when u free or come to kl only collect back by then.

We try to be flexible so everyone can have a good time

Yeah, c ya!


Finally bro, finally

bro if u have problem uploading now, just go open a thread first in pla-zone. at least u secure a place; even if the thread for awhile has zero photos....

No worry bro, u have already created the thread before 12am, so pretty much u r secure. And as i know, the judges only started judging this morning.... huhu so no problem


Saturday night a bit hard, because nobody is there yet, probably another event in sg wang..... Anyway, if u can make it Sunday night, that will be the perfect time. U can see a lot of people gather in sg wang getting ready to submit their mid year entries. A few of us will oso be there...

Or latest, monday morning to sg wang, just tell litt tak's people to open cabinet for u. Or another option, monday night after 7pm, u can pass to ICW. We will go Sg wang on tuesday....

Bro, this Sunday night le.... not saturday.........


********************************************************************************************************************************

Announcement: The submission set up for mid year is this sunday night!!!!! We accept ALL participants' entries, not only winners. This is BECAUSE this Gb belongs to everyone!!!!!

Please bring your kit on this sunday to be displayed.

If u cannot make it on Sunday, next wee any day also can, just tell litt tak fella u r putting up the kit for the Gb, n they will open the cabinet for u!

Congratulations!!!!!

Yes, we know many might not able to make it for certain days. That's why we just open any day for submission. Of course if u only put it up next saturday, then u only can showcase ur kit for 1 day (coz next sunday is the last day).

Because the GB belongs to everyone, that's why we encourage all to put their kits up; as we say we r trying to rock the mid year event.


1) Besides that, aside from the prize giving ceremony n lots of talk cock on the last day (sunday) around 5pm i estimate, we r trying our best to arrange a small photography to shoot the model kits too, hope to get some clearer pictures for the magazine by setting up a small phtobooth with proper background... Let's hope we manage to pull this off (Hehe Vince... )


2) I m currently talking to Vasthobbies.com; they r the one company who do custom print water slide decal in Malaysia that i know, They r kind enough for besides sponsoring for the kits, now they r printing some decal with a very low cost for us, which we r going to use as sourvenirs for all participants. I would just want to say a big Thank you to them.

Welcome guys!!!! But the credit goes to all of you!!!!

Just remember, hope we can all meet up for next sunday 10/06/2012, let's have a good time gathering, meeting each others, n snaps a lot of photos.

Huhu, wear smart as ur face might be appearing in Hobbimax for covering the gathering!!!! Ok, no need put eye shadow n lipstick la.....

Added on June 1, 2012, 10:11 pmNo lose bro.... thank you so much for your support. The Gb wont even be an event if u guys have not made it happen!!!!

Btw, last night i tried peak a bit.... honestly the points r really close. so close both the judges had gotta borrow my laptop to re-visit the completed threads again n again, because by simply adding up points they gave earlier by their own just a bit too risky... huhu, luckily they didnt fight
