Gundam Australia Forums - Japan Quake Appeal

Adam Sonar of  Gundam Australia Forums ( GAF ) has started an appeal and a fund raising for our brothers in Japan... here is his letter at GAF...

Just hoping all of our Japan based members and the families of our members with relatives in Japan are ok and safe from harm after the terrible quake and Tsunami.

Our thoughts are with you guys. Hopefully you can post up and let us know you are ok.

We will be taking up a collection for victims of this tragedy which we will then disperse to a suitable registered charitable organization/s as more information becomes available.

If you wish to make a donation, we have set up a paypal account: 

japanquake@gundamaustralia.com

No amount is too small and all proceeds will go to a worthy cause. Please give what you can.

You can also help by reposting this comment on your favourite blog:

G-SHOT - Gundam Australia Forums People's Choice!

The G-SHOT Gunpla photo competition is over now and Gundam Guy has shipped the prizes to all the winners. However as I have mentioned in my previous G-SHOT posts, all the judges did all the preliminary and final judging inside Gundam Australia Forums ( GAF ).

The section where ALL participants were judged was in a secret section called G-SHOT Judges Area. Only all of us judges were able to access the area during the competition. However Adam Sonar the creator of GAF has now opened the Judges Area to all the members of the forums.

If you are interested in how we selected and voted for all the 5 winners and if you are a GAF member, you could check out the Judges Area and you could also select your top picks or winners for each category. The top choices will then be the G-SHOT  >>> GAF People's choice!

Now be sure to log in with your GAF account before clicking the link... here is the Judges Area guys...

NO more MAC meet ups this 2011!

Just kidding! Aside from the fact that Skype is killing our forums and maybe even our Facebook forum extensions... It is a great way to chat while building kits when you have voice and video chats on. I finished my X-Wing while Skyping and should finish my StarCraft dio this week while Skyping too.

MAC is pretty much international though as most or at least half of are active members are not from the Philippines. In Fact one of the 3 admins is from the US...yes, that will be Kriz. So as much as the actual meet ups here in the Philippines have been fun. We are actually enjoying our meet ups ( video and voice chats ) with our international members and friends so much more.

Kamm has been cursing for almost a week now, PhantomPain sounds like Hero in Heroes, Hummingbird talks like blur in the old Transformers movie, MatX and Kriz are being their usual sinister looking selves, DCMKii has been working with his FSS kit and a few others have started to join the chat these past couple of days.

I also had fun chatting with Toymaker ( Kenny ) for a couple of days now, though he is more comfortable in type chats. Adam Sonar ( creator ) and Lupes of Gundam Australia Forums has joined us last night too! This is great, we are practically having meet ups every night and I get to build Gunpla and practice my english. LOL

I hope to chat with our ZeroGunz brothers one of these days! ZeroGunz was my first forums afterall and it will be really cool to chat with Rayloke and Ryukaze and the other guys!
On a side note: Kamm is bragging about a secret paint that he won't reveal until I do not know! I vow to know the paint and will blog about it! hehehehe

GAF - MAC Beargguy GB RULES

This Group Build is now a collaboration between our friends from Gundam Australia Forums and our MAC forums !!! We thought as both forums are digging the Beargguy GB! We ( MAC ) and Sonar ( GAF ) might as well collaborate and make the GB a dual forum - GAF - MAC GB!

I am not sure if this has happened before but like Sonar said, if other forums has done it before... it won't actually ruin the excitement lol. This will be the biggest GB to date ( just hyping it )! Looking forward to seeing WIP threads of this GB both at MAC and GAF! We would appreciate if members who has the time to post their WIPs at both forums could do so. Now here are the strict rules... or else you are banned in both forums! LOL...

New commission work!!!

I have a new international commission work, meaning the client is not from the Philippines. We agreed on the deal already but I am still waiting for the client's downpayment. I will be working on a MG Zeta Gundam ver 2.0 and the client asked for a diorama similar to my - " coup de etat " diorama.

BUT I have this post to THANK the very hospitable and friendly guys at Gundam Australia, why? well first they are very welcoming and they have a great forums in the making. And second, my newest up and coming international commission work is from Australia!

So I have reason to believe that Gundam Australia played a big role in landing me the commish. Anyways, hope this deal pushes through and the downpayment sent to me soon. And a BIG thanks again to our friends at Gundam Australia!
