my TOP picks for G-SHOT 2011 Best Diorama

Good dioramas should have a well done kit and a well done base, great dioramas should be telling some sort of a story.



We have some entries at G-Shot 2011 Best in Diorama category that has well done kits and bases and tells a clear story. They are also shot properly in a nice angle and composition that creates more interest and makes the audience want to see more.



I love dioramas specially Sci Fi dioramas so much and it is fun judging ( together with other judges ) this category. Needless to say this is my most fav category and my fav part of this hobby.



We are currently judging all the entries and Gundam Guy should be announcing the winner soon! I wish everyone good luck. Now here is the Official post at Gundam Guy's...

G-SHOT 2011 Best Customized - Angelo Guibone

I am a bit late here but I am nevertheless very proud to present you the winner of the G-SHOT 2011 Gunpla Photo Contest by Gundam Guy!



The winner of the Best Customized category is Angelo Guibone aka MDgelo. MDgelo has been one of the top Gunpla modelers and customizers in the Philippines and an active member of MechaPinoy since he joined the fray back in 2009.



He represented the Philippines at Bandai Action Kit Universal Cup ( BAKUC ) at HongKong back in 2009 and has won a lot of local competitions since then.



MDgelo is not as active both in the net and in Gunpla modeling last year but continues to produce great customized Gunpla kits once in a while. I sincerely wish more masterpieces from my fellow Filipino modeler this year and the years to come! Best Customized Gunpla belongs to MDgelo of the Philippines this year!

Much like the previous two categories, the Best Customized category proves to be as difficult to judge. Tons of great entries from all over the world!

G-SHOT 2011 Best in Paint Job - Matt Tomczek

Good friend and MAC forums VIP member Matt Tomczek of the US just won in the Best in Paint Job category at Gundam Guy's G-Shot 2011 Gunpla Photo Contest!



Lots of great entries in the Best in Paint Job Category but I ended up choosing Matt's fine work on this Perfect Grade GP01. The insane amount of work and the technical skill to pull of such a fine perfect grade masterpiece is too overwhelming for me to not put Matt as the winner. 3 out of the 5 judges chose this build over the others.

G-SHOT 2011 Best Straight Build WINNER!

 Although I was a bit late announcing this winner. I believe everyone knows it by now through GG. :)

The winner of this G-SHOT 2011 Straight Build Category is Henry Feng with his striking MG Sandrock build! Henry will be receiving a 1/144 Unicorn Gundam Banshee ( destroy mode and Unicorn mode ), 5 random Gundam markers and a 10$ GG Infinite coupon all sponsored by team Gundam Guy!

The photography is nice, simple and straight to the point! Nothing fancy
with the pose either but the build itself is undoubtedly a very good
straight build.

The color tones are very nice and somewhat
unique. Finishing looks flawless from the photography and the decal work
is pro level stuff. Clean, precise and stunning at the same time. Great
stuff that deserves the win.
