Quickie: Gunpla Builders World Cup 12th Tournament – Philippine Qualifiers

Not an entry, but they also had the HG Gundam EX from “Requiem for Vengeance” on display.

October is usually the month when the local qualifiers for the Gunpla Builders World Cup take place. It’s no different this year with the GBWC 12th Tournament – Philippine Qualifiers. A friend of my friend submitted an entry this year so it’s a perfect excuse to check out the other entries for this year’s qualifiers. I’ll just dump the photos I took yesterday in no particular order.

A Re-GZ-inspired custom Gundam AGE-2.

The last image here is the one I really liked the most among the entries this year.

It’s not as busy as some of the other dioramas but I really liked the weathering on this kit,


While checking out the entries, a friend asked why I never bothered submitting entries to the GBWC or joined any Gunpla competitions? Personally, my satisfaction with Gunpla is more on the collecting, but I still wanted to have good-looking builds, though not to the standards of these modelers. Something possible within the available time for a weekend builder/modeler like myself.

Thoughts?
