Since we r fighting for Litt Tak to showcase our GB work during mid year in Sg wang, we HAVE to use Bandai Kit.

The Japanese might get TL if see, say, Koto D-Style, there



This post has been edited by rayloke: Apr 17 2012, 03:29 PM

Yes, any Bandai kits are allowed (as stated in the first post).

But of course if choose MG or newer HG, will get more advantage lor, because of the parts seperation is much nicer.

Since this GB does NOT require any wip, i think even previous build will also acceptable. However, we encourage to start a new project, coz the fun of GB is to build something together.

If anyone wants to post wip, they can either post their update here, or even if they have a lot of stuff for wip, they can create a specific thread in http://pla-zone.com

Great! Name added. Honestly, RG is a very good choice for its super detail n parts seperation



Just treat it like normal u build n post some photo to share. Only different is u might get a chance to take home some kit or get your work featured in Hobbimax magazine and in sg wang during gundam competition as display kit.


Great!!! Name Added!! nazrul90 hope to see your work soon!!! Gambate!!!



Cool, name added!!! Gambate!!!!



As stated in the rules n regulation: For the pictures, u can actually create an entire new thread in www.pla-zone.com in the snapfitter section or the gundam section(depends on whether u join which category); with a title starts with "BTB: xxxxx" (xxxx is the name of your kit). In the thread, u showcase your work n interact with other members if they ask your question or something.

Only threads with that title will be judged as a participate entry in this group build.

Cool, name added!!!! Another RG... I like! Definitely not the easiest kit to do, but the final work can be pretty awesome! Gambate!


Yes. The arrangement is such because pla-zone.com side offers the flexibility for members to create their own specific threads to showcase their work; easier for judging too.

Register here is because most of us are lyn members...



Cool! Name added.

Just a piece of advice, in case in the middle, u realise u might not have enough time, just focus on one kit n put full power on it. For me, if i choose, most likely will be OOB category..... competition not so fierce...

Ok Gambate!!!! Hope to see your work soon!

Name added!!!! One of the most regulars in modeling thread joined!!!

Yes, chrome powder can use, even paint can use for snapfit....

As the rules say: u can use paint to panel line, to paint those small small rivet, to paint parts that r not seperated for colors (eg HG kit that molds everything together).

As long as the whole kit is not covered with paint, u r fine.

So adding a bit of paint here n there just to enhance details is ok.

(Psst.... not joining OOB meh? )

Currently we do not have any limits on participant list. Personally i would prefer the more the merrier. Imagine during the GB gathering (If we manage to organize one), the number of kits displayed all together will be epic!!!!!


Name added!!!! Thanks for the support & Gambate!!!!
Bro, no need to nervous, it's just like your normal building, just this time many others will be building the same time n trying to find a reason to get eeryone out for gathering n have fun!


Name added!!!! Start your engine bro!!!!


Show us what u have got !!!!!


Unfortunately, for OOB, it means OOB. No extra detailing or changing of shapes n structure. Well, u can modify some parts for easy painting, but the final appearance/shape must be same as per Bandai/Sunrise design it.

As for color scheme, normally in OOB group builds around the world, usually which the concept is to make the kit as original as possible; which seldom people change the color scheme. This is kind of a gray area. Lemme discuss with VincC first. (This is for the case if u want to change eg a Freedom to a solid black one)

As for color, minor difference is allowed. For example, RX78-2, u can either do a normal solid paint one, or if u want, metallic color of silver, metallic red, blue etc, i think is ok. Pearl color oso allowed.



Huhu, taiko decided to join ady!!!! Yeah!



If it's snapfit kit, since the rules say u cannot cover fully with paint, changing the color scheme is not something i recommend u to do. This is because if your kit , part of it is original plastic color, part of it u change the color by painting, the end result most likely wont bring ur points up in the eyes of the judges. Eg freedom, u left all white as original plastic color, but all the blue parts u change to purple. Yes u can do that, but it's extremely hard to get nice result from it; mainly due to consistency of color.

Yes, any kits from Bandai. As for previous built kit, it is allowed. But bare in mind, u will lose the fun of building something TOGETHER with a bunch of modelers all over Malaysia. It's kinda fun when u r building n on n off u see how others progress. Then u show off a bit your own progress....... It's another kind of fun.

Stand, yes. by all means, beutify your presentation of your kits. But keep in mind, for snapfit, if u fully paint your stand, the stand will not get any points because it violates the rules. As for OOB, make sure your stand is also painted nicely or it might cause reduction of points....



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

Someone even asked me about diorama....*sweat i didnt expect members will go to that far..... For snapfit, i wont recommend diorama cause a diorama base which is NOT fully cover with paint most probably wont give u extra points, might even cause u to loose points.

As for OOB, since u guys r allowed to fully paint the kit, diorama... why not? but bare in mind, no extra point will be given DIRECTLY to your diorama base (because there's no such options for the judges). It can only add points INDIRECTLY; mostly because ur piece is so interesting, the judges have very good impression n tends to give higher marks.

Whoa! First international master to join us!

Huhu... Can i accept your registration n automatically disqualify you? Huhu, because u r a blurdy master!!!! In fact, i was thinking to invite u as one of the judges Ok let's talk in private later when LYN side has any decisions....

So name added. Welcome to join our group build!!!! Wish to see your work soon!



Yes, u have a very good question here. Will come back to this issue after discussed with VinceC.

Yes, as per written in the rules n regulations....

Corrected. Solly

Welcome to join in the fun guys!!!!! Gambate!!!!!



For snapfit, it means snapfit.

The rules stated "the model kit CANNOT be fully covered with paint". So as long as u follow that u r fine.

As for stickers n decal, of course u can use original Bandai's that come with the kit. Is there any rules saying u cannot use that?

Bro, i think u r thinking too much. If u build just using the stuff included in the box, u will have no problems. Rules r for people who wants to go way over board...

Dont think too much just because it's a GB. Understand the intention of the GB: it's just a simple GB for people who has not much time in building n painting; & for people who like to build their kits as per Bandai has set.

So dont think too much, just build!

Name added!!! Welcome to join in the fun, gambate bro!!!!!

No worries about winning, especially in snapfit category. I have tried, ask some of the so-called "sifu" to do some snapfitting, and most them sweat like hell! Hahahaha! Because they r too used to using paint n putty to cover whatever mistakes they made during snapfits. Therefore, i realise snapfitting requires another set of skills that only snapfitters have

As for rules, if u r just doing things that are included in the box, u definitely has no problem. Unless hand itchy, wants to go another step further to beautify your kit, if u not sure, can always ask here. We try to include things that we found normally snapfitters will do, like color small rivets or parts in metallic silver, inking the panel line etc. Rules is just to prevent someone who use the gray area to do something crazy just for the purpose of winning some free kits only.

I even got a pm asking, "So snapfit can use after market parts n putty....if i modify like crazy, air brush nice nice, and only left one finger unpainted, it still doesn't break the rule of "the kit cannot be fully covered with paint" mah.... "

My reply to him is of course like that he still qualify, but it defeats the purpose of snapfit Gb lor. Kiasu until like that, u might win an MG Sinanju, but i dont think u will win any friendship or good memory. Instead of earning respect n friendship, u only earn gossip behind your back being kiasu lor....

So again, the most important thing about this is be part of the GB n experience all the joy n fun being a part of it!

Yes, u r right! this is a very good example.

As Zero1st mentioned, yes u can change the color scheme. Sorry for the late reply.



Ok Chris, name added. But as per Zero1st said, we strongly encourage we all build together.


First one to show wip photo!!!!!!!!


Name added! Thanks for the support bro!!!!


Name added!!!! Thanks for the support bro!!!!

(Zudah fighting tri-plane diorama? )

unfortunately no point will be given during judging on the diorama base.... u still can make one though, wont be disqualified.

Whoa! so fast!!! The metallic is a nice touch!!!!

yes, very cute indeed!!! didnt know it can fully transform somemore!

Yes, for OOB category, u can change the color of the kit. If want to go blink blink all the way is ok!!!!!



Actually, weathering is allowed. The "cleanliness" in the rules simply means all colors n effects are there because u intented in to be there. "Clean" means u do not have any unwanted stuff on your model kit. Hence weathering can be "clean" too.


Haha as derpyheart mentioned.... Actually it's one more month + 9 days. Take your time n make a really nice one to showcase!!!!


Hi, welcome to join in the fun!!!!! Name added!!!

Welcome rihuhs!!! Name added!

Yes, this Gb is mainly aim for people who has very bz schedule or has less time in pursuing this hobby. Unlike most other group builds in the net, which requires hours n hours of work n crazy modifications, we r thinking of doing something lighter.

Just enjoy the build. I think 1 1/2 month should be pretty sufficient. Just plan ur time well.

Haha yes, as u have mentioned that, why not? as long as it helps to make the whole event a more memorable one. Ok we will make a cert for everyone who participated n completed

Thanks for the pointer bro!!!!


Yeah, as mentioned by General_Nic, any Bandai will do n one person can have multiple entries, either in the same category or different category.

As for Bandai kit, we can build any kit u like, of course we will recommend Gundam or the later ones. Why?

1. the newer kits from Bandai has better articulation, better color n parts seperation which, especially for snapfit group, is a huge advantage over older kits.

2. If we r going to put the kits up to display during mid year competition in Sg Wang, if the Bandai's Japanese staff come to see, is always good they see something they r currently selling....

Cool~! Name added!!!! Gambate bro!!!!!


Khai62: Yes as mentioned by General_Nic, is stated in the rules n regulations, OOB needs to be covered fully by paint.

General_Nic: Thanks bro, for helping me out to clarify things (Was really busy on Monday morning.... )


Of course u may. Putting up the kit is more of indication, for other members to under your progress better when u post any in-progress photo. And also let us estimate how much shelf space we need to negotiate with Litt Tak for their shelf space during mid year competition display.
