ACGHK 2008

Follow the bunch of links below and from the listed blogs to see some awesome coverage of a model show in HK. There are two Gundam girls in there too.
I need to get back into Gundam modeling. When was the last time you built Gunpla?

Original text from Quentin aka Q below.

Pictures for various and impressive Gundam work displayed for the Dengeki Hong Kong Modelers Tournament in ACGHK 2008 is up! Took me a while to upload the photos, but they're now available via Daybreak's Bell~ Be sure to check out Ngee Khiong's coverage as well, which has pictures from a Hong Kong blogger called 九龍宋公明.

Will be adding caption to some of the pictures when I have the time to do so.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

This item was posted in the Gundam category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

WTF!! That Gundam looks like the ultimate fighting machine. If it was a Transformer, its Megatron and Optimus Prime combined!!

That thing looks like it could take out any Mobile Suit from any gundam series.....and then some.

"When was the last time you built Gunpla?" - Danny Choo

Little over 1~2 years maybe. I tried to make a MG Saviour Gundam.
I still have Full burst Strike Freedom [MG], Strike + IWSP [MG]
& x2 SD Gundams to build. I don't think my interest dropped, its
just that I don't have the space to place these GunPla's...

I want that bad-ass Gundam! I recently built a MG Gundam F-91. The F-91 guns look like pea-shooters in compared to that thing.

  Sorry to hear that you have to leave early. In terms of the competitions all I know was that the 4-legged Tieren and its diorama were one of the winners in the modeler tournament (for adult group I think). Still need to find out the winners in other age groups.
