Malaysian Master Modelmaker's Mecha Manages Global "Gunpla" Win
For more news and videos visit ➡ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ➡ http Add us on Facebook ➡ on.fb.me And the first ever "Gunpla Builders' World Cup" has been held in Hong Kong. It's a modeling competition devoted to the increasingly popular world of "giant robot" themed entertainment. "Gunpla" refers to what's a passionate hobby for many people; building scale models of the futuristic mechas from the popular Japanese science fiction series Mobile Suit Gundam. Now there is an official competition for these enthusiasts. First prize went to Malaysian Ho Yick Yin, who has been working on these models for six years. He says his winning entry took over six months to put together. According to one of the event organizers, the technical level was high all around, but Ho won because his creation was so expressive. Other competitors hailed from Japan, Italy, Australia and the Philippines, with twelve entries in total. [Ho Yick Yin, Gunpla Model Champion]: "This one basically the original is from space time. Most people I see are using the space time. So I tried to make it different a bit, so I make it like the ground (Earth) time, so using the four leg. So I think there is a punch there." Gundam creator Bandai put together this first-ever "Gunpla" world competition, and plans to make it an annual tradition. From: NTDTV Views: 76 5 ratings Time: 01:33 More in Entertainment

With the World Cup kicking off tonight, we look at a couple of wines from the competing nations – and announce our tipping competition where you could win a dozen great old-world wines! The first wine is a German Riesling, and while we Aussie hope they don't do well in the first game, we know they make great wines. When talking France and football we're certain that if they win the big gold trophy that there will be lots of corks popping. So we look at a grower Champagne from Pierre Peters that is worth celebrating with. The World Cup wouldn't be what it is without the Italians, and we look at a great Chianti Classico from Castello di Monstano worth diving into.
