Darth Zaku by JJ

Darth Zaku by Singapore Singer JJ. This was on display during the Singapore Gunpla Expo 2012. It is cool to see a Zaku II - Darth Vadar Version. Love the helmet and the light saber!

Gunpla Expo Singapore 2012 Part I

This year the Gunpla Expo Singapore 2012 is held at NEX at Serangoon MRT station. Here are the photos of the expo (will post soon the close up photos):

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation is a PS3 game released this year (2012). Currently they only have the Japanese version. This is a Youtube video I found where the player is playing on the Zeon side. 

This is the best Gundam game I have seen.

Zaku II Defence Force By TIS

Another master piece of a Zaku II unit which I came across from a few blogs sharing it.

Most of the Zaku II original design was preserved in this piece of work. What makes this piece interesting are the customized equipments and weapons. The design of the axe holstered onto the shield makes the medieval axe fits in neatly to the overall. And of course the best colour choice: the green Zaku II!

MS-06J ZAKU II SEMOVENTE UNIT by Harry

I am sharing this from Hobby Japan magazine 2005 January issue. I am still keeping the issue because of this article: MS-06F ZAKU II SEMOVENTE UNIT by Harry.

This is a buffed up version of Zaku II. I like its proportion, it looks more tough and fierce. With the buffed up  body parts and a bigger shoulder shield, it looks like it can take a lot of hit before going down. The colour and the weathering gives it a realistic look which fits to the theme of Ms Igloo.

Great, this come in time just for my passion to return! I have stopped Gunpla-ing for about 2 years because of personal commitment. Now I am back to my hobby!!! The closing date for submission is 2 November 2012, I'm definitely going to participate this year.

In 2008, I participated in 2 of these competitions, and I was short-listed for both. My works was displayed at Takashimaya Atrium for judging. Although in the end I did not win any award, it was satisfying to have my work be displayed in public for fellow Gunpla lovers to admire! I'll work hard to achieve an award this year!

ZAKU - Ashley Wood

When I was in Hong Kong visiting the toy shops a few weeks back, I saw this big white box with only text and some artwork. What captivates me was the work "ZAKU". I couldn't see what is inside, so I Googled. And this was it, NICE!!!

It is designed by Ashley Wood. I know about this great artist from the game Metal Gear Solid series. His sketch styled artwork is captivating.
