GBWC 2014 World Champion - ANDY WONG of Malaysia

I have a very serious confession to make guys... I am also Malaysian!



Just kidding... I spent a lot of time in the old Malaysian forums ( ZeroGunz ) back in 2009 to 2011. In fact I was one of the moderators of that forums. I learned a lot of my techniques from Ryukaze, Ronnie Phoon, Jeff Ho, Rayloke ( whom I met personally back in 2008 Bakuc Finals ), Becky Law, Sammy514 among so many others.



Malaysia is producing Bandai World Champions and competing in the world stage, like they are competing in a forums group build or something. These guys most likely because of the friendly nature and the teachings of the the older modelers have not regressed at all.



The newly crowned Gunpla Builders World Cup (GBWC ) World Champion this year ( 2014 ) is

 ANDY WONG of Malaysia!

I did not ask permission and stole all these photos of Andy Wong, so be prepared to read Andy Wong's name in this post numerous times ( lol ).



I believe most if not all of the entries in this year's GBWC finals at Japan were unique and original. I love creativity the most and skills and execution is secondary for me personally and The Spider O of Andy Wong is one of the most creative builds I have ever seen! I am so humiliated to post my re-painted MG The O ( coz it is also painted yellow ) even here in my blog as this Spider The O makes my work looks like it belongs to the junior category ( albeit helped by Uncles ).

Inspiring work! I am so inspired to work on my GBWC 2015 entry as early as next month! Inspiring stuff from another talented, skillful and creative modeler from Malaysia! How I wish I live in Singapore, HongKong, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, or Malaysia ( lol ).



Hope you are as inspired as I am! Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next post guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

Tamiya 1/6 Honda Magna 50 modeled by Rayloke

I saw this finished kit yesterday at ZeroGunz and was totally blown away with the finishing! The modeler of this Honda bike is Raymond Loke aka Rayloke. Rayloke is one of the site admins of ZeroGunz and he represented Malaysia at BAKUC 2008 finals at Hong Kong. I featured his MG Unicorn last time as I like the subtle effective mods that he did.



His recent build is his entry for the ZeroGunz Metallics versus Weathering GB and it is totally insane. This is the most wicked chrome finishing I have ever seen in my short modeling life! It is safe to say I could never achieve this any time soon. A humble modeler that never gives himself enough credit. I highly recommend you visit the forums for more photos of this wicked build.



I did not take more photos as I did not ask for Ray's permission though, so feel free to visit the link as ZeroGunz is pretty much open to all, No crappy security stuffs to keep you away from really good professional builds. Here is the link to Rayloke's recent masterpiece...
