ATTENTION FINALISTS! Mark D., Thien N., Roy A., reeoyuy, beamknight87, Edmund C., Vic. L, and Lupes! Here is how the tie breaker will go down…
- Regardless of whether you got 3/4 correct or all correct, you can CHOOSE to COMPETE FOR ONE PRIZE: I OR II
- PRIZE I: The prize is the gunpla you see above.
- PRIZE II: SD Unicorn or SD 00 Raiser
- If everyone choose to compete for Prize 1 then I get to keep prize 2. If everyone but one person chooses to compete for prize 1, then that one person automatically wins prize 2 or vice versa. Choose wisely.
GOAL: Just simply tell me what you think the above gunpla is. You have one guess. No hints!
ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!
I am under no illusion that only one person will guess the gunpla correctly so here’s a tie breaker of tie breaker.This will only count PROVIDED THAT YOU GUESSED THE GUNPLA CORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Along with your answer, send in FIVE (5) guesses of either rock, paper, or scissor like this:
EXAMPLE:
Prize I- MG Sazabi
1. rock
2. paper
3. scissor
4. rock
5. paper
^Just like that and hope that you can beat everyone else who also got the right answer! Whoever wins the most round… well, wins.
TIME LIMIT: You have until next monday or whenever I have the time to post who won. Whichever takes longer.
GOOD LUCK!
P.S Please refrain from leaving hints in the comment section about the grade and such of the gunpla if you think you know… just in case you might mislead the contestants. Thank you!

November 2, 2011 at 12:38 AM
this should be fun and good luck to the finalists
November 2, 2011 at 5:37 AM
clue: that the next thing in my gunpla shopping list.
You’ve been Trolled!
November 2, 2011 at 5:38 AM
*Faceplam* great……
November 2, 2011 at 7:37 AM
Rooting for Lupes! The more Gunpla he has, the more likely it is for us to get to see some sexy paint jobs!
November 2, 2011 at 11:36 PM
you kidding? It takes me ages to finish anything with work and school now. :P
i honestly have no idea, i’m going to have to contemplate and take a swing in the dark…
November 3, 2011 at 5:05 PM
Not kidding whatsoever. Your paintwork is magnificient.
November 4, 2011 at 4:08 PM
Nono, not so much that, just that the turnaround on me finish models is awful now, haha. Thank you for the compliment though. :D
November 4, 2011 at 5:13 PM
If you think taking ages to finish your paint job is bad… what about me taking eons to finish a straight build? That’s just downright pathetic XD
November 4, 2011 at 5:42 PM
Okay, I’ve just built 1/144s so far, but if you think his building time takes too long, how about my time spent in making a review of a model/figure? Or lack there-of, technically; since my efforts go elsewhere… (Not that it pays off at all for my win/loss ratio in Tekken 6 online.) :P
(But good news that came in my e-mail box is propelling me to finish, Z!)
November 6, 2011 at 2:24 AM
Lemme guess… RD Wing Ver. Ka?
November 6, 2011 at 2:33 AM
Actually, it’s one-word per row sentences. :P What else? Oh, and my SUMO review’s finally done!
November 4, 2011 at 6:22 PM
Day off tomorrow, maybe I can finally get this Nu Gundoom finished! *thumbs up* I remember when we both were finishing kits left and right…whatever happened to that? Bloody life, interfering with our giant robots.
November 6, 2011 at 2:24 AM
Seriously! Those days were the best! We were like… at the peak of our Gunpla youth… or whatever we call it. it seems like the only time I am able to do that is september when summer school is over and before fall term begins. At this rate, the fact that this blog is most lively only for a month out of the year is going to become a running gag. But yea, let’s see that Gundoom!
November 6, 2011 at 4:45 PM
I could drop work or school to make time, but I think we both know that’s an awful idea :P I tried reducing my hours at work so I had a little more free time to breath but it just doesn’t work, so I have to keep going at a breakneck pace for everything. Someday we’ll have time again for our hobbies.
As for the Gundoom, didn’t even find time to get outside…but at least I managed to get the airbrush clean.
November 2, 2011 at 9:34 AM
i was going to say that but i didn’t want to ruin the fun…
November 2, 2011 at 1:11 PM
Already sent my answer and I’m confident on it. Well, we can only wait for you to announce the winner.
November 2, 2011 at 5:01 PM
I think almost everyone is confident they can guess what it is because there’s only one obvious choice. I’m betting it’ll all come down to good ol’ rock paper scissors. I’m just curious though… if more than 2 person got it right, how will the rock paper scissors be effective? I mean, it depends on who Z pair the answers for that tie-breaker. If that person can win against another but unluckily paired with the answer that has a disadvantage over him…. won’t that be somewhat unfair?
November 2, 2011 at 5:14 PM
I’m not sure I understand your last question? ^^;
So here’s how it goes… say three people got the correct answer, so those three will duke it out in RPS next. They will all “play at the same time”. So for each round, it would be like this:
Person 1: rock
Person 2: scissors
Person 3: scissors
Person 1 wins. Hmm… Now that I think about it… I’ll determine later whether the game should be “elimination” style of playing or “win # of rounds” style to prevent a tie breaker of tie breaker of tie breakers…
November 2, 2011 at 8:01 PM
Let me give you a scenario:
Let’s say 5 person got it right, then next round they guess:
Person 1: Rock
Person 2: Scissors
Person 3: Rock
Person 4: Paper
Person 5: Scissors
What I meant is this, so if it’s a hard to determine scenario as described, won’t you have to choose elimination style, making unfair for some? Let’s say rock guy could win this contest, instead, you randomly made him go against paper, then it’s sorta bad luck for whoever it is.
November 3, 2011 at 12:49 PM
that’s why the game has 5 rounds. person who gets the most wins.
p1 p2 p3
1.R P R
2.S P S
3.S P P
tally
p1: 2
p2: 1
p3: 1
p1 wins.
if there is a draw, then i guess it’s time for a lottery. heads or tails? :p
November 3, 2011 at 9:13 PM
You see the problem in your scenario, don’t you? You’re assuming there would be same answers, thus giving the odd one the chance to win (or lose). What if they are all different guesses. And also, if there are more than 3 person guessing it right, which I’m pretty sure it will, how are you gonna decide who win in a 8 person brawl with all different answers (rock, rock, paper, paper, scissor, scissor, rock, paper)?
Head or tails is even worse…. a coin flip is only for 2 person tie-breaker.
November 4, 2011 at 12:16 AM
I’ll figure things out when everyone has submitted their answers.
November 4, 2011 at 4:49 PM
we have international rules for that:
If all three weapon types are played, or only one type of weapon is played, the round is considered to be a draw. A new round begins.
so i guess Z must’ve said that it’s a rock-paper game instead of r-p-s to make it less complicated. but anyway, good point :)
November 2, 2011 at 4:08 PM
Blimey…. a tie-breaker for a tie-breaker…
November 2, 2011 at 4:59 PM
hahaha nice idea Z (tie breaker within a tie breaker).
November 3, 2011 at 12:05 AM
Seems the shiny back of that box is an ABSOLUTE giveaway… XD
Z, you trollmeister, you… XD
November 3, 2011 at 12:26 AM
4 Million HIts! Congrats!
November 3, 2011 at 6:19 AM

donniehutchins0910@gmail.com
i really like that model.
November 3, 2011 at 8:41 AM
Nope, the one with the inner frame is the MG version
November 3, 2011 at 10:32 AM
I think I know what it is… That box is very familiar.
November 3, 2011 at 5:49 PM
this is hilarious, i hope everyone chooses the same prize, and then all tie for rock paper scissors =D
my heart can’t take this intense excitement, even though i’m only watching from the sidelines rofl
November 3, 2011 at 5:49 PM
I could almost see something if I narrow my eyes enough.
Damn Z, this is like one of those abstract 3D picture.
November 4, 2011 at 6:01 AM
hello Z, i plan on doing a custom for the upcoming Dra-c, and i was wondering if you know how to paint a gundam to look metallic? thanks.
November 4, 2011 at 5:14 PM
use… metallic paint?
November 4, 2011 at 8:05 PM
use titanium or chrome silver as a first coat, then after drying use a clear color (clear red for example) to cover the silver
watch this vid for reference http://www.youtube.com/user/stryderprime#p/u/35/818TFSqtGDU
its also on a series :D
November 4, 2011 at 8:40 PM
thanks!
November 6, 2011 at 5:30 AM
Already send my answer.
November 14, 2011 at 4:20 PM
Wow, glad I wasn’t in the finals. These competition is taking really loooooooooooooooooooong. Would have been easier to just order RG Aile Strike from HLJ or amiami by EMS.
November 14, 2011 at 5:18 PM
being in school and working as well, i can totally see how z doesn’t have time to do blog updates.
November 15, 2011 at 9:24 PM
I figured a comment like this would show up eventually.
Well, it’s gonna take just a bit longer…
November 15, 2011 at 10:11 PM
Oh, no no~ Take all the time you need. I’m not one of those waiting for the answer anyway. lol
I wish I could see the faces of those who are waiting and yet lose anyway in the end.
