Eye on Asia Blog 2.1

In late 2008 Eye on Asia started a partnership with E2046, the company behind the finest Resin Kits in the world and creators of the Gathering range of pre painted resin statues. Every year since 2003 they have held contests where kit builders and painters can compete for great prizes, recognition and self satisfaction. As these events grew on popularity it was slit into two contests per year (Summer and Winter). Now for the first time the contest has been split into two divisions: Senior and Junior, so now contestants who are new to kit building and painting need not worry about competing against more experienced modelers.

There are 3 categories available to enter in Summer Contest 2009, these are: Figure, Mecha and Diorama. Each category speaks for itself but there are some rules that apply (linked below). Because kit building and/or painting is considered an art there is now wrong or right way to do things, so if your new to all this and are unsure of your abilities fear not, give it a try you will likely be surprised. The E2046 contests are held by a very friendly and helpful community and all art is appreciated. All entries are voted on by the public and a panel of judges consisting of Moderators, E2046 staff and special guest who in the past have included the likes of Danny Choo, Luca Zampriolo, KitBuilders Magazine, and Model Kit World Magazine.
