BAKUC M'sia 2006

The BAKUC 06 (Bandai Action Kits Universal Cup 2006) was help on 28/11/06 to 3/12/06 at Sungei Wang Plaza. BAKUC is an annual plastic kit modelling competition help by Bandai, the competition will be held in multiple countries and ultimately the winners of each country's edition of BAKUC will get to represent their country in the Universal Cup. It is quite an event for all the Gundam model fans out there, whether or not you are good at modelling because even if you are not competing, the work of the pros that are displayed there will keep you occupied. For those who are confident in their modelling skills, its time to showcase your talents.

I was already back in Kuching when this year's BAKUC was held, but thanks to hyakushiki84 from Zero G forum for allowing me to use his photos I'm able to share it here.











and here comes this year's BAKUC M'sia champion.

MG 1/100 Strike Freedom Gundam - Full Burst Mode

The new MG Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode, this new model kit is scheduled to be released on the 21st of Dec in Japan. HLJ has already stopped taking pre-order for it, the MG Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode will be released along side with MG Strike Freedom. The main differences between the 2 models are, the full burst mode will have golden plated internals and also it will have removable Dragoon weapon system while the normal version will only have yellow coloured joints and the Dragoon system will not be removable. And for that Bandai charged an extra 2200 yen on the Full Burst Mode at 7000 yen while the normal version will be at 4800 yen. The full burst mode comes with a different base that allow you to pose with Dragoon system detached, from the picture we can see that it is the same thing as the action base that Bandai relaesed not long ago. So, is Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode worth the extra 2200 yen? you be the judge!

Keroro Plastic Model Collection

Got a visit from postman today, the 2 items that i've ordered from a Zero G member has arrived.
This is what i ordered,

a keroro gunso ver1.5 + flying board and also kururu socho plastic model kit.

I managed to finish the keroro gunso model with little time and effort as the parts are relatively easy to assemble as they are big and the amount is very little, all parts fit nicely into place and they are molded in different colours so no painting is needed although a bit of painting will certainly add more details to the model. Stickers are also provided for various parts such as mouth and eyes.

The completed model stands at about 10cm tall, one interesting thing about this model is that you can use the head on bandai's gundam kit to get the effect of keronian mecha suits. An action base is also included with the keroro gunso ver1.5 to allow various pose that replicate moments from the anime.
