2009 Gunpla of the Year

Julius Lim doing some final drybrushing before Bakuc Malaysia 2009...

Hello guys, I plan to do this every year from now on...I'll be putting my personal choice of Gunpla of the year annually. Well, we have seen a lot of kits throughout the year, some really good ones, superb ootb works, awesome works from the usual Gunpla masters and such...Well, as much as I want to list my top ten this year...that will be really tiring, I mean I have to ask permissions from my fellow modellers and link all of there works here....so I decided to just put 1, yes, 1...my choice for Gunpla of the year, believe me...the second does not even come close to the hardwork and impossibility of this build. This is a creative piece with a very nice composition, painting is topnotch and the scratch building skills needed to build something like this is unimaginable.
