[RANDOM] Gundam Model Kit Contest PH 2017 Part 1

Finally had some free time to do another post here. I've been busy with a lot of stuff recently that this post got so much delay. 

Anyway, It's high time again for Gunpla fans here in the Philippines because it's the GMKC or Gundam Model Kit Contest sponsored by Bankee/Toy Kingdom. Aside from GBWC, GMKC is one of the major Gunpla competitions here. Unlike the GBWC where anything goes. GMKC focuses on OOB + custom painting. Basic building techniques still apply like seam line removal, v-fin sharpening, and pre-painting mods. Aside from those, nothing else can be done or added into the kit. Only what's included in the kit can be used. No scratchbuilding, no kitbashing. The finished kit should appear as what it is in the box, albeit in a different color scheme (if you want).

This year, I tried my luck and entered the contest. But that will have to be for another post. Here I'll just share my experience during the 1st day of the event.

I arrived tat the event past noon a there were a lot of people that day. The venue has three sections. One side would be the display area where contestants will display their entries.

On the other end would be the merchandise area where people can buy Gunpla kits. There were also event "exclusive" kits available for sale.

The middle area was a display area for winning pieces of past champions and some series being promoted. 

I wasn't able to take more pics of the event specially the entries since there were a lot of people that time and I was a bit in a hurry. I will try to visit again, maybe this week to get a better shot of the event.
