FREE gundams? Yes please! (Gundam Caravan)

When I started getting into the hobby, I scavenged the internet for all the resources I could find. I browsed through everything from in-depth tutorials to forum conversations, even work-in-progress galleries and whatnot. It was so exciting and I just kept absorbing information like a sponge.

Surprisingly, while I was doing all that research, I stumbled upon a local Bandai-sponsored mall-touring event where they gave out free Advanced Grade (AG) kits to participants in order to promote the hobby. The organizers will provide all the basic tools that you'd need and the only requirement was that the kit be assembled in the venue within the time limit of an hour.

Even though they only gave away an AG kit, I decided to give it a shot in the next scheduled event because you know... having a little bit of something is better than nothing (aka I-love-free-stuff-syndrome).

The event I attended featured a mini building and detailing contest where the best looking entries were given prizes. The free kit was an AG AGE-1 Normal. Sadly, I didn't win but I still went home with a big smile on my face. Overall, I had real great fun and I wouldn't mind going back again.

Below are some pictures of my AG AGE-1 Normal. :)
