Lowyat.net & Pla-Zone.com Collaborative Group Build
2012 Back To Basic Group Build
Objective
This first collaborative group build organized by LYN & Pla-zone is mainly aim for modelers who doesn’t have that much time for modeling and to those who simply prefer to build models as per Bandai’s original design. The time & effort being put into completing such built generally gain misconception that it’s too fast & effortless for modelers. Therefore one of the reason of the GB is to show the world what we can do with snapfits & OOB, it’s time to earn back some respect!
Of course, that’s secondary. The bottom line is, just to have our own group build and have tons of fun!!!!
