This year’s Bakuc is held once again at Takoshimya Takashimaya. Being the avid Gundam fan its a must see event for all Gundam Otakus! Zeon monoeyes, Gundam 00, Freedom, dioramas, Super Deformed kits …. so many genre so many ideas to learn from. Plus with the on going sales and super cheap kits available, its a killing for both the wallet and the eyes.
Well here is Chubbybots’ Field Report. (Warning, lots of images aheed!!)
Ikimasu!
Lets start with a bang. We have already seen the degenki version of MG Full Armor Unicorn. Right here at Bakuc we have our very own FA Unicorn done by Benjamin Wang. For those who went to Gundam Fiesta you would have seen his 3 throne gundams diorama
Top view of the FA Unicron. Jaw dropping details on the weapons…
Look at those huge thrusters!
His base is equally detailed…really pro level work
One final shot for the Unicorn.
This version of Exia gives me the armored core vibe! The shoulders reminds me of the White Glint mech. Love the color scheme and…
The uber cool long GN swords…
Interestingly the modeler named his work the Exia prototype…prototypes never look so good…
Here is one for Dom Fans. Sorry no black tri stars here! More like a zeongnified Dom instead! I love the back pack with beam cannon idea. The color scheme is very refreshing and unique as far as Doms are concern ^^
A view of the Dom’s back pack
Last look at the beam cannon…better not stand in front!
This guy needs no introduction! Gundam 00 Seven Swords! But somehow the sword is a bit out of proportion though. Would be better if it was smaller. But still awesome work notheless.
This reminds me of the 2 mechs in Gundam Wing!
Charging Exia!! Love the dark theme scheme.
This is one for the ladies ^^
I love how the lights give the feeling of depth on the MG Exia. My favorite pose for Bakuc.
MG O Gundam! Wonder how he did the Gn feathers.
A very evil looking Full Armor ZZ
Love the graduated red to black colors!
Equal detail given to the small plane.
This is a very interesting concept mixing clear parts with painted parts! Gives that devilish vibe!
Skulls for armor! 
Fully colored Gundam 00 Xn Raiser!
Armored Nemo!
Oh I loved this green weathered gouf. Zieg Zeon!
Now for my favorite mech in Bakuc!
The one only awesome Zeon Mobile Armor!
Its big, its bad ass and its a zeon mobile armor!!! (Being colored in my favorite color is a big plus!)
Wonder how they get their decals on so nicely…no silvering!
That is a hell lot of thrusters…
Top view of the moblie armor with the Zaku tugged nicely in ^^
I love the huge cannons…
The last photo for the night! So inspired to do something like this!
I had a blast at this bakuc ^^ So to those who have been there (and bought a lot of keropla too ) which mech is your favorite? It was a hard choice between the FA Unicorn and the Zaku Mobile Armor for me!
Stay tune for part 2 where I’ll cover the Dioramas and SD kits!
Till the next post!

Your pics are so clear!! Can see all the details nicely. xD
It’s really hard to choose a favourite; all of them are so good. Zeon Mobile Armour and FA Unicorn definitely impressed me. Prototype Exia made me glee too. The contestants really poured their heart and soul into their work. So amazing!! *_*
chubbybots
November 17, 2009
thank you! Looks like the time spend there was worth it! (thank god for photoscape!)
Its a tough choice….so many good kits this time round! Its amazing when you see passion and creativity come together in one big contest. Really a feast for the eyes and mind! Still editing the dioramas for the next post so stay tuned

Nice! You managed to cover more than i did! And the quality much better…
chubbybots
November 17, 2009
Thanks! I was waiting for a friend before heading off to watch Evangelion 2.0 (loved the new angels and the last fight!) and I had about a solid 2 hrs in between. Just me and the camera! But I had to press myself against the glass to get the pictures (You should be able to see my finger prints on the glass now haha!)

orz Evangelion… want to watch… T_T
chubbybots
November 17, 2009
Damn bloody (pun intended) good show ^^ Might go and watch again lol!
Marzz
November 18, 2009
You watched it already??!! I was gonna watch it with another friend next week at AMK Hub… How was it?
chubbybots
November 18, 2009
They completely revamped the whole story for part 2….and you will get to see more interaction between Rei and the others this time round
She is more human this time. I won’t want to spoil you with the details…but the final battle was jaw dropping….and eva has a new form…
Did you watch the series before…I plan to take some time and rewatch it….so many things I didn’t understand back then when I watch it so many long years ago!
Marzz
November 18, 2009
Yea, i did watch the series before.
chubbybots
November 18, 2009
I still don’t get the whole story lol
Marzz
November 18, 2009
Me either, it was quite confusing and
the characters were… A bit on the
psycho side…
chubbybots
November 18, 2009
It was a very dark series…too mind boggling for anyone to make sense of the whole show. I recalled reading that the writer wrote this story amidst a depression! Not too sure if that is true but luckily in 2.0 things are much more cheerful

give me the unicorn full armor I want that !!!!
chubbybots
November 17, 2009
haha good choice!
Wonder if I should do the same for my own MG unicorn next time lol!

November 17, 2009
If you have the skill ^__^

November 17, 2009
Haha definitely can’t wait to test it !!1

the GN feather comes with the O gundam.
hmm… me likey the dark exia =D
chubbybots
November 17, 2009
Oh this is a 1/100 scale O Gundam, its fully scratched build!
I prefer the white exia haha…love those big blades!
AstrayP03 (Zhe)
November 18, 2009
oh, haha didn’t see the MG word there… whoops!
chubbybots
November 18, 2009
haha stay sharp!
Too bad wordpress can’t change fonts!!!

Actually, that 0 gundam is a mix between 0 gundam and RX78-2. If you look closely, the head is actually the head of RX78-2, no?
chubbybots
November 18, 2009
I think the base kit is a MG ver Katoki Rx78. The rest of the parts will have to be scratched build to fit for 1/100 scale O gundam. Thats my guess lol ^^ Only the modeler will know!
AstrayP03 (Zhe)
November 23, 2009
now that you mentioned it, it DOES look like RX-78-2!
chubbybots
November 23, 2009
The O gundam was based on RX78-2 design in the first place haha
Your ice blended coffee is tempting…
AstrayP03 (Zhe)
November 23, 2009
Haha I meant the head… How could I not notice it when I’m working on one myself :S
Btw, I found a place which sells the polishing cpd… should I buy coarse of fine or both?
you used both but I was wondering could I just apply fine directly?
chubbybots
November 23, 2009
Hmm you might to experiment on that though ^^ Its just like sand paper in theory you can’t skip straight from grit 400 then go to grit 1000. The 1000 won’t be able to remove the deep marks made by the 400 grit. If you start with the fine, I am not too sure whether it can remove the nub marks as throughly ^^ But you got to try to know!
AstrayP03 (Zhe)
November 23, 2009
I dunno how to diferentiate grits o.O I just buy from the mm gam poe lol
chubbybots
November 23, 2009
Lol, for sand paper they do have the numbers behind

Oh crap… seriously? thats embarrasing >.<

chubbybots
November 17, 2009
Thanks! A even better dream will be to see your own kit on display!!! That will be the ultimate dream!

November 17, 2009
man i wish i was there to see all of it in person. FA Unicorn and Zeon Mobile Armor are insane! lots of pro work there, also like the weathered gouf.
great coverage, thanks for sharing these pics! really looking forward to the dioramas ^^

Interesting… Exia prototype looks like it has 2 GN drives, one on each shoulder, which would make it far more advanced than Exia and probably closer to 00!
But it really reminds me of the mecha from muvluv. Esp with the oversized shoulderpads and the white colourscheme.
chubbybots
November 17, 2009
Oh muvluv, better check that out. Come to think of it, I think it will be more apt to call it a Gundam 00 prototype in this instance! I was thinking the oversized armor shoulderpads are like those in Armored Core 4 Answer, White glint

Heh its THE takoshimaya we are talking about here lol
Definitely will want to bring out the best for the exhibition lol!
What camera are you using? You are right about the lighting though they are very bright. So bright that I had to darken most of the pictures in photoscape!! The dioramas were very impressive! Man so you met the actual modeler? Haha share the secrets through your Exia Vs Enact!
Well a big secret…I didn’t get anything lol
