Blah. Couldn’t find any appropriate “200k hits! Thank you” photo! so here’s a groupshot of all the Gundam models as celebration. ^^; anyway, yea… This humble blog have just reached 200,000 hits today ^^. I remember when I used to get 5-8 hits per day on my xanga page and I thought that was incredibly high ^^;. It feels a bit sudden and I’m like “what? really? O_O”. I’m a bit surprised… I’ve just started blogging this June as a way for myself to keep track of what I’ve built and gradually, with increasing readers and feedbacks from all of you, it managed to end up the way it is today. Never actually thought such a niche blog could become so big ^^;. I’ve also improved my Gunpla modeling skills as a result. I thank all of you who comes here daily and occasionally, providing feedbacks about my contents, and allowing me to improve and fix things over time. I’m also thankful to people who linked to me through their blogrolls or referring to my reviews as references. It feels like I’m one step closer to my goal of becoming a “well-known gunpla blog in the otakusphere” *sheds a tear of joy* Thank you, everyone!
Now, to celebrate the coming new year and the 200k hits… It’s time for another contest!!! I’ve asked for ideas in a previous post for ideas and picked up bits here and there. Now, this time the name of the game issss….. *drum rolls*
GUNDAM MOTIVATIONAL!
Yup. That’s right. Create your own motivational poster with your Gundam models or figures.
- The main goal is to give THE BEST LOLZ. This is parody after all ^^.
- The sky is the limit: Do whatever you want. Use as many Gundams as you see fit. Do action poses. Battles. Photoshop. Speech bubbles. Anything. All up to you.
- Best half of all entries will go to final competition so number of final contestants will vary. Readers will do the final judgement (Poll).
- You have until next wednesday to submit an entry. One entry per person. Hope this is enough time for all of you.
- Email to zyuan3618[at]hotmail[dot]com
- Will share all the entries after this is over.
- Easy enough?
Now the prize:
In the event you won and already have this, we can work something else out. This is all for now and I’ll update if I need to make any changes or clarification. So Gundamu Contesuto… READY! GOOOOO!!!
Lastly, HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!

oh noes xD I can’t do a photo shooting this weekend! maybe I’ll use some older photo or something but GREAT idea! I loved it ^^ and happy new year Z! more gunpla for you, and me, and everyone else haha
December 31, 2008 at 2:25 AM
wow very nice prize Z. but anywho good luck to all participants and may i wish everyone here a happy new year!!!
December 31, 2008 at 3:27 AM
Congrats on the the hits, Z. That’s a very interesting idea for a contest. I actually had an idea for a photo that I could use for a poster, but I need to build the kit needed for it this weekend if I want to make the deadline.
That’s one huge pile of boxes, though you seem to be missing 2-3 GFF ones from what I can see. I almost feel sorry that I cannibalized most of my boxes (only kept the box art) but space issues prevail…
Is it safe to assume that any kit not covered in the blog is not assembled yet? If so, I don’t suppose you’re willing to part with the Kotobukia kits as prizes? :p
December 31, 2008 at 3:28 AM
What the………….*speechless*
That’s a mountain of Gundams you have there, Z! My biggest local Gundam shop didn’t even have as much as you do. That’s gotta costs at least thousands!!
Ahem…back to the contest. Sounds too interesting to only limit to one entry, but I guess this time round there’ll be more contestants.
新年おめでとう、皆さん！
December 31, 2008 at 3:40 AM

December 31, 2008 at 3:50 AM

December 31, 2008 at 4:42 AM

December 31, 2008 at 4:45 AM
A Gundam-themed version of this:

Happy New Year 2009!
Loads of gunplas will attack your pocket again, waging “war in your pocket” with your desires….^^
oh yeah,just forget my question earlier,,, after i took a look at your envious photo, i think i understand…^^;
December 31, 2008 at 5:55 AM
u know what? i was packing away all my gundam boxes just now and what a headache, although mine is not as many as yours but still finding a place to store them is really a pain.
happy new year and congrats on the 200k hits get.
December 31, 2008 at 6:24 AM
Man I want that Rasiel so very badly indeed…
By the way Z, congratulations on the 200k hits! ^^
December 31, 2008 at 7:32 AM
Ooh cool, nice prize. Interesting contest.
December 31, 2008 at 1:53 PM
Great job, Z. And that’s quite a pile of Gunpla boxes there. I only have 2…
For the contest, can I use pictures I find on the internet? I am a man without a camera. T_T
December 31, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Congrats on the 200k hits! You’ve only been blogging since June? Wow! That’s insanely awesome! o_o I’ve only been blogging since June too, but I can’t imagine having gotten as far as you have!
That is a pretty insane-looking photo there too… XD
Neat contest. I’m probably not witty enough to win, but I might give it a shot anyway. ^^
December 31, 2008 at 6:36 PM
well i wont be entering this year cause i dont have the stuff but next year you guys better watch out
January 1, 2009 at 12:49 AM
Paulo, I’m sure some pics will work out for you. and amen to more gunplas!
Francis, happy new year to you too! And won’t you be joining this time? ^^ Also, the boxes are just stacked up high all around my room. Nice decoration I think xD
Acewhatever, I’m actually missing a lot of GFF boxes xD. I’m debating with myself about cutting up the boxes since I want space for a tv… you know, something useful. And unfortunately the koto kits are already built ^^; You can assume that any Gundam models not covered here is not build yet though hehe.
Chris, two entries would probably left me going “oh noes! which one?!” if both entries from the same person are different.
Jacques, thanks! you probably don’t want to. It’s a dust magnet ^^;
Ogre, cheers! :D
Eyeshield, hey thanks. I provided a link to make that motivational poster so I think it should be pretty easy to make one.
Gordon, Thanks! yes… finding space for them all (and stacking safely) IS a huge pain in the left buttocks. The photo above actually took awhile to set up xD.
Necro, so I assume you’ll be joining the contest? :D
Flawless, hmm… not sure how I can go around that. Finding pics on the internet wouldn’t be fair to those who needs to take the picture ^^;. Or in the worst case, someone going “I want to use net pics too!”. You don’t also have a camera phone? If all else fails, I’ll think of something up for you.
Kiri, thank you. Good luck on your entry! I’ll be looking forward to it. It’s all for good fun ^^
John, awesome. I’m watching out ^^
January 1, 2009 at 2:48 AM
Almost didn’t realise that those cement-coloured pillar is the GFF boxes o_o
If this were to fall on top of me, I can’t guarantee that I can get out of it easily ^^; Haha a Gundam Motivational poster contest surely sounds interesing. Bit busy now, but looking forward to see other people’s entries~
And last but not least 新年快樂!
January 1, 2009 at 2:38 PM
Z, I do have a camera phone but I can’t upload to the computer without a cable that I have to buy.
I could sit this one out if I have to. It’s no biggie.
January 1, 2009 at 8:29 PM
Congarts on 200,000 hits!!! I just started doing gunpla in Feb 08′ and stumbled upon your blog while looking for info on the Dengeki Hobby Astraea conversion kit. I really enjoyed reading all your reviews, and looking forward to many more in the new year! :)
January 2, 2009 at 5:00 AM

I have an idea, but i don’t know how to make the black frame and stuff for the poster -__-;
January 3, 2009 at 12:16 AM
