G-SHOT 2011 Best Customized category

custom Beargguy by Gianshopao

One of the most promising and young Filipino modelers at MAC forums today, Gian Paparo aka GIANSHOPAO just finished a really cool looking Beargguy for his girlfriend this Christmas. The color scheme is totally unique and is very eye catching! Colors requested by his girlfriend turned out super nice.



As usual Gian's finishing is topnotch pro level work and mind you he uses Tamiya acrylics in achieving those flawless finishing. Photography is also as always very good, so be sure to catch more photos and discussion of this sweet little build by Gianshopao at our MAC forums. Here is the link guys...

GBWC entry: MG Deathscythe by GIANSHOPAO

I would be brave enough to say that Gian Paparo aka GIANSHOPAO is now one of the best Gunpla modelers here in the Philippines today. And is undeniably one of the best painters that uses Tamiya acrylics on his kits. Gian is a young modeler that I know back in ZeroGunz and we are now very happy to have him at our MAC forums.

I am pretty sure that he will feel at home at our forums as we house most if not all of the newer and younger up and coming modelers from the Philippines, as well as the ultra talented pool of very skilled and talented international members. MAC forums is ( arguably ) the haven for the young Gunpla modelers in the Philippines today.

As usual, Gianshopao did a fantastic job with his custom MG Deathscythe. His modification skills and painting skills is undeniably one of the bests out here. Scary to think that Gian will only improve as he enjoys this hobby. Enjoy more photos of this stunning masterpiece at our MAC forums. Here is the link guys...
