Gunpla
Builders World Cup qualifying rounds aren't just for the west coast. At
Otakon 2013 (August 9 to 11) the GBWC will be making their first of two
east coast stops (the other being New York Comic Con / New York Anime
Festival in October). Builders will be able to bring their finished kit
right to the Bluefin booth (IND08) once they've filled out an entry form and emailed it to customerservice@bluefincorp.com first.
They'll be judged for prizes which could mean a trip to Japan to
represent North America at the world competition for one skilled Gunpla
builder.
And that's not all! If you want something you can actually do at
Otakon the GBWC and Bluefin will be hosting a Gunpla speed building
contest. Signup starts at 10:00AM on August 10 in the Art Show area with
the first 20 contestants being given a kit they can keep to build on
the spot starting at 10:30AM. Builders will be given 150 minutes to
build their kits however they desire. Water will be provided for decal
application and you'll be allowed to paint if you bring your own. This
isn't just about building quickly; builds will be judged on different
criteria such as how clean the build is, how well the decals are
applied, and how it's presented to the judges. For complete details see
the Otakon info page.
