Gundam Model Kit Mid Year Challenge 2008

The Gundam Model Kit Mid year Challenge 2008 is another Gunpla competition organized in collaboration between Bandai and Litt Tak Sdn Bhd. The competition ended on 15 May 2008 and the participating entries were on display in Sungai Wang Plaza from 23 May 2008 to 29 May 2008.

As usual, yours truly was on site to photograph the entries and I must say although the number of entry is not overwhelming, the qualities of a few standout entries were just amazing.

I am hoping that the usual year end BAKUC competition this year will see more entries and with better qualities. For the time being, lets feats our eyes on these amazing entries.

There are 44 photos in this post. All photos were taken with my Canon EOS 400D with Sigma 18-200 OS lens.

1/72 Air Show - 2007

This was the second year running of the 1/72 Air Show held at Hobby HQ on 10 and 11 November 2007.

The 1/72 Air Show is basically a showcase of 1/72 scale model aircrafts and any type and genre. To make things more interesting, a mock airport was built to house all the aircrafts. The aircrafts on show were contributed by local modelers who are passionate about their hobby.

Beside serving as an avenue for modelers to showcase their precious models, the air show also aims to generate more interest in plastic modeling among the general public.

These photos show some of the model aircraft that took part in the air show. I personally enjoyed the air show plus the free food and I am hoping for a bigger and better one next year and hopefully I will be able to contribute some exhibits.

All photos were taken with my Canon 400D + 18-55mm kit lens.
