My BAKUC Entry - 18-23 November 2011

=THE ANCIENT=

Synopsis:-
It's about ancient robots which is the Char Zaku and RX78-2, while can see a few parts of gouf at the scene.. These scene and story line is actually in a form of an ancient ruin for the Gundams, where the new generation human trying to locate for the ancient histories of gundam.

Why I use RX78-2, Char Zaku and Gouf ?
- I used this because it's the first ever Gundam in the line, they are the oldest creation and also the Grandfather of all gundams and zaku.

Why It's buried under the hills and mountain pass?
- I decided to use this because it's actually to resembled that it's an ancient place and as wars pass by, these zaku and rx78 is in memories of those who had fight and die during in the years of wars, it's like a temple/base for remembrance.

What is the base story trying to tell?
- After many centuries, which war have ended, the new humans with new technologies comes and search for the ancient history of the gundam and manage to find this hidden base which is actually located somewhere in the amazon mountain pass. They are there to learn on how is the history of the WAR of the ancient.

Basically these are my plot of points for the diorama that I intend to look into and build.
