Here it is at last: the first ever European Gunpla Cup

New Flash, Dear Readers.......

Ladies and gentlemen of the gunpla world, for the first time ever, we of MAC are more then excited to announce the very first European Gunpla Cup. This is the first in the world for the modellers of Europe to participate in a gunpla contest, whose chances to show off their skills are hindered by the lack of gunpla events. Not anymore ladies and gents.




Our very own Kamm, the hand painting assassin from MAC,  takes point on this truly unique event, and we're proud that it's being hosted at MAC Forums, and with Hobby Link Japan sponsoring the Prizes.
Our man-love-hungry, handsome guy Kamm even got a nose bleed from stress, organizing this event. All in all, he made a very very very good job.

Mechanics:

1. All entrants, regardless of root, must live within Europe. Simply having an origin of Europe does not qualify you to enter. "Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom"
2. Entrants may enter kits previously made prior to start date of competition. Also kits completed after start date are accepted. No form of BOOTLEG kits may be entered. Entry of such a kit will result in disqualification.
3. Entrants may enter into as many categories as they so choose and may enter as many kits as they see fit. Passing off other peoples work as your own will result in dismissal of all entries made by that person which will be followed by a disqualification.  Entrants must be able to provide some form of "Work In Progress" at the judges request. This is for clarifcation purposes. (WIP Only needs to be shown if judges ask).
4. All entries must be submitted within the MAC Forum. Visit the section labeled "EU-GC Entries" and create a thread under the relevant category "Diorama", "Customized" & "Straight Build Painted".
5. Starting date for entries is April 20th
