By a stroke of chance, I&#8217;m able to attend this event which was first ever held in a new location. It was on the LAST DAY too! Good thing that it was held in a familiar place to me and there was also a book fair being held at the same time! Wanna see all the fantastic books I managed to grab? No? =(<br \/>\nOK, let&#8217;s get on to the event then..<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; height: 1px; width: 99%;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; height: 1px; width: 99%;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholderMy first instant reaction upon reaching the event was &#8220;Wow!&#8221;. The area looks neater and more organized than the last. There aren&#8217;t many people there, maybe because it&#8217;s the last day but this is good as I can take my own sweet time looking at every Gunpla entries <sub>*drools*<\/sub>. The organizers were using the new inner-lighting showcases like the last event and the strong lighting sometime makes it hard to take pictures.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m no pro at photography.. =(<\/p>\n<p>The number of entries were also a bit lacking (or maybe most of them already collected theirs after prize-giving ceremony). The theme for this event seems to focus more on the Sangokuden series, followed by a mixed entries from Gundam 00, Wing, Seed\/Seed Destiny, Unicorn and other UC century series. Few participants did awesome kit-bashing entries, some did excellent coloring and weathering jobs while others submit theirs with killer modding and diorama themes. I liked them all!<\/p>\n<p>My final words to this year&#8217;s event is to keep on the good effort, both to the organizer&#8217;s team and participants and hopefully I won&#8217;t late again for the year-end&#8217;s event. Gotta keep myself updated to the organizer&#8217;s Facebook page!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>External References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.218140178211319.61444.107657099259628\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Club-Gunpla &#8211; Bandai South Asia Official Facebook Page Album<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/beckylaw.blogspot.com\/2011\/05\/gundam-mid-year-challege-2011.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Photo coverage from Becky&#8217;s Blog<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event: Gundam Mid Year Challenge 2011 Venue: MIECC Mines Resort City, Selangor, Malaysia Period: 27th May 2011 &#8211; 5th June 2011 Phew!
