Since the end of last year i decided to join the local Gundam Model kit challenge, so i decided to build a centaur Gundam Unicorn as my entry, i started the build since christmas last year(that is why i did not do any artwork this year)full time committed to the build but the result was slow because i have to totally re-engineered the entire unicorn following faithfully to the horse anatomy, i was rushing the build until May until i heard that there is a mid year Gundam Model kit challenge 2010, i was hopping to enter the competition with my centaur so i work hard for it but finishing the kit was no way near, so happens at May i was also shifting to my new apartment so i was also busy getting the place ready, the build was greatly interrupt, i was in a panicking mode at that time because My gundam centaur are still not ready. Around middle of May i decided to re-use my old MG unicorn i did on 2009 [link] to enter the competition just for the fun of it while continue my centaur build to enter the year end Gundam Model kit challenge 2010 on november, which is a much more bigger. So i took out my old MG unicorn, dust off the dust, repair some damage parts, secure some of the parts with blue tack and send for competition. during submission night i met a lot of the local modelers and Pros, i saw their work and my jaw drops, i really admire their skills which is 10 time more better than mine, put my entry to shame and i must work harder to catch up to their level.
On the last day was the prize giving night on a week day, took me an hour+ to drive down to the competition area with one purpose in mind 'collect back my entry' at night, when they are announce the winner i was just looking around and joking with some of the forums guys, then suddenly on the 'new challenger'winner, they call on my name, i was stone for a while like are they really calling my name, since there is another participant also called Raymond, but no doubt the surname was my surname, so i went up to the stage still can't believe my crappy entry won, well it was a joyous moment a lot of Gundam Unicorn entry won and i was one of them, after the prize giving moment i hang around with the forum guys, met new friends, quite a number of the people knows my centaur work in progress in the forum but did not know me that well so i have to reintroduce myself to them. After collected back our model kit they have a Gundam unicorn group photo session, around 11pm we all dismissed and went home, and call it a night.
It was a really fun experience, meeting people with the common passion, exchanging info where to buy the cheapest spare parts. but what matter to me the most is that i know i did not give my 100% for the competition and i am not even using my unicorn centaur, after looking at so many other people's work i must work harder to improve on my skills and learn airbrushing. in conclusion 5 more months to the year end Gundam Model kit challenge for 2010, work hard for it! give my 101% for the Centaur.
here are some of the photos that was taken by the forum members

Think your life sucks? A man was nailed through his hands and feet onto a tree. Before that he was whipped and wore a crown of thorns. He committed no crime, but his blood was used to pay for our sins. His name was Jesus Christ.
