A large crowd gathered at the 4th floor of the SM City North EDSA Annex for the awarding of this year's Gundam Model Kit Contest on May 26, 2013. People are either buying stuff, building stuff, playing, waiting for the awards, or just milling around. Suddenly, a commotion at the event's entrance got everyone turning their heads. What could it be? A wild PG plasmates mini-kitakits appeared!

Kudos to you guys! This serves as an inspiration to all of us!
a contestant finally finishes his WIP for our ZAKU YARIAN CONTEST.

kitbashed ZAKU II with TIEREN and other kits turned into a BEAST

the modeller said that he left the color scheme as is because he might ruin the kit when he paints it.

anyway, good work!

we'll also feature some of his kitbashed works soon!

his WIP can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.531041336934215.1073741826.100000850611763&type=3&uploaded=5








Introducing Percival "Zangetsu" Castro entry ! He's one of the regular members of PG, and also has a great taste on rendering his kits.

So here is his entry, MG Unicorn Banshee in standard color scheme. He really got me in his rendering by using gradients on the psychoframe. 

Why is his build special? 
Because his entry really depicts how does a psychoframe glow and heat up. Simple build yet fantastic depiction on the psychoframe :D This is really an amazing painted build in standard colors. 

I hope he gets an award! Good luck on the nationals Zangetsu! 











PinoyGundam was never really known for homegrown, hardcore modelers, most of us just chill and detox while at the forum/page from a long day at work or at school. We mostly collect, play and display our stuff- spending what little precious time we have outside of our priorities to enjoy the hobby in our own simple ways. Not really paying attention too much on the nitty gritty of being a gunpla scale modeler.

All of that is about to change.

Ace "Alas" Perez, one of our homegrown modelers from the Anazasi School of Vanz Hilario, is officially entering the Philippine Nationals on what is expected to be the first of a long line of modelers coming from the PinoyGundam scene. His entry is none other than the RGM-96X Jesta Master Grade, and here are the photos:




Featured at Gunjap!













Let us all wish Ace the best of luck on this contest. Whatever happens he definitely did us proud with this entry, his growth from a regular seller/collector to a full-pledged modeler in a span of few months is nothing short of remarkable.

Till next, Mismo!


One of my personal favorites from the previous GBWC was this AGE kit from Yeye Francisco. I am a sucker for Full Armors and this one fits the bill once again.

Here are the photos









Definitely better with Age!

Till next, Mismo!
Duel is one of the benchmark designs in Seed, and Zandro Garcia's rendition proves it:






 

Looking forward to more works from Zandro!

Till next, Mismo!


I promised Anazasi Hilario that I will take a formal shoot of this kit, something that is deserved for this body of work.

Presenting the long-delayed photo gallery of his Formania rendition of the MG Sazabi- Anazasi's Big Red Monster!















Would have a comparison shoot with the old Sazabi on a later date. Chalk another one for Anazasi Customs.

Till next, Mismo!
