Gunpla at Chinese New Year 2011..

I've been busying allot of days and nights for all the Chinese New Year Preparation.. including of the Gunpla-ing.. and also visited a few fellow Gunpla-ion in my hometown "The Oil Town".. :-) I've seen the widest collections of kits ever and also built kits.. Furthermore, I had a short interview session with 2 fellow Gunpla-ion on their live collections model kit.

One of them is from a collector to a builder and from a builder to a modeler. The journey for this Gunpla will never vanish and for both Gunpla-ion, at every stage, it's just the beginning. The following one was just a pure collector and slowly moving onwards to builder. The summary for their review history was below.

1) Gunpla Collector-Builder-Modeller

Name: (Do not wish to be displayed)

Age: 28

Portfolio:

- Had been start gunpla-ing since young and just purely straight built.

- At teenage age start to feel that Gundam was indeed a challenge and start building it in a correct way plus do some panel lining and add on decal.

- At the working age, sees Gundam as in different view, challenging himself to go to another level buy modifying Gundam plus heavy weathering.

- Current state of mind.. Do everything that is beyond what others can do.. is something to achieve everyday.

- Started other Robot kits than just Gundam.

Advice of the day: "Buying a Gundam, Build a Gundam, Draw panel lining on it, Everyone in suitable age also can do.. What makes the your Gundam from other is base on each creativity. The way how you use your skill to make it different will make it one and only one in this world."

2) Gunpla Collector-Builder

Name: (Do not wish to be displayed)

Age: 26

Portfolio:

- Had been start gunpla-ing since 2 years ago.

- Starting his first collection was to collect all the MG's ever had in the production line of Bandai

- After awhile of collecting MG's, started some HG's than decided to collect also the HG's

- After half year of collecting, start building some.. without panel lining, and just scratch built.

- Start collecting on some Perfect Grade which really triggered the budget month.

- Current state of mind.. Trying to hunt for Rare Gundam is like finding a needle in a hay stack!.. It's never easy.. and It's also very costly.

Advice of the day: "Everyone can buy a Gundam but not everyone can get unique Gundam. So as a collectors point of view: collect something that you like and can be unique next time. Value of the Gundam will never depreciate."
