I got this news from The Bakuc Society - the official Gundam facebook page. This is great news! Our modeler friends from Australia is joining BAKUC ( Bandai Action Kit Universal Cup ) for the first time this 2010.
Bakuc is an INTERNATIONAL competition sponsored by Bandai itself and the best modelers from China, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Italy, USA, Thailand, Hong Kong, and South Korea compete for the World Championships. Modelers compete in there own countries and once they win, they get to represent their country in Bakuc Finals held in Hong Kong. So let me rephrase that... basically, you have to win against your fellow modelers in your country before getting the chance to compete against other representatives from other countries.
I am very fortunate to be the first and the only Bakuc World Champion ( 2008 ) from the Philippines in the Pro level category ...but the Philippines bagged the Junior level World Championship last year ( 2009 ) by Eduardo Quirong... a few countries like Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia has a couple World Champions already. I am NOT eligible to join BAKUC ( Pro open level category ) anymore so I am looking forward for other Filipinos to get the title one of these years and I am also actually looking forward to seeing the other countries bag their first World Championship. ;)
There are lots of Categories in this competition, BUT only the winners of the Pro Open level category and the Junior open level category are competing for the world championships in Hong Kong. The winners of the expert category participants and the other minor categories are not eligible to compete in though.
Australians who are interested to join ( I suggest you do join ), just visit here - Bakuc Autralia 2010 details. It was a great experience to compete in Hong kong for the Bakuc Finals and nothing beats the big stage really, so I suggest you give yourselves a chance to do so. Good day everyone and enjoy the hobby as always! ;D
