Finally, getting around to posting up the pictures from SCGMC 2024

It’s been a busy end of 2024, hell, most of 2024 was crazy busy for me. Finally getting around to posting up the pictures from the show

Here are some quick stats for the show this year. We have a total of 122 individual entrants. And a total of 310 model entries. That’s crazy.

Here is a screen cap of our winners list

Note that our Theme and Experts only have a single winner but our calculating spreadsheet shows the two runners up. Also notice how close some of the first, second, and third place winners are in points. You guys are getting crazy good! We’re also working on improving judging and going to try to do more splits for categories that are huge.

Remember, the theme for this coming year’s SCGMC is ROBOCROSS; broken down, you can see Robotech and Macross, but with any of our themes, just by name alone, we know you guys will run with that and throw us some very creative takes on the theme. See you all in November!

The Southern California Gundam Model Competition Year Three!

This past weekend was the 3rd annual Southern California Gundam Model Competition, held in Fullerton California. We drew a total of 171 attendees, of which 42 entered the competition with 76 models entered. Our attendance is up by at least 60 people, so we saw a decent jump in growth. Asking around, I believe that word about our event is starting to spread and folks are seeing the hard work we put into placing flyers all over Southern California. We’ve hammered down a good number of issues as lessons learned from the previous two years and from what I’ve heard and read so far from various sites, we did a fantastic job. Thanks to all the hard work and dedication from our loyal TGG Staff. We still have a few kinks that could use oiling and straightening out, but we’re definitely on the right track. There were some really amazing builds on the tables. Just below there is a 13 year old Shenlong, a completely revamped Taurus kit, a full scratch build for a 1/100 Xamel, and beautifully painted Patchwork Sazabi.

More after the jump!
