I. CONTEST OBJECTIVE:
To build
a basic 1/144 Gunpla kit in the Out-of the Box format. This is to encourage newbie gunpla modelers, giving them a break, and
a chance to show their skills that the others can't do.
II. RULES AND REGULATIONS

Series in 1/144 scale only (EX, FG, HG, HGUC, ungraded) are eligible as entries.
2. Kits must be built following instructions
in the box.
3. Detail-up parts are NOT allowed. No Add-ons. No modifications, just build, seal, paint, and an option to
weather and panel lining. Improvements are limited to pre-painting modifications, v-fin trimming, and rescribing original
panels. No re-articulation is allowed.
4. ANY color scheme of the kit must be utilized in painting. (read as: you may
use any color you want)
5. Diorama entries not allowed.
6. Flight stands and bases are not allowed even if included
in the kit. This is to even the playing field. Posing must be ONLY in the STANDING POSITION, similar to an exhibited/catalogued
mecha. HOWEVER, if the kit needs the flight stand as support (1/144 S-Gundam Booster), then it is allowed. No need to attach
all the weapons and accessories.

some markings. (ex: eyes, minor details, numberings, insignias etc)

HGUC Gundam MK II with Flying Armor
HGUC GP03D Dendrobium
…and other similar
kits (2-in1) in 1/144, when the MS is riding or combined with the MA or Ship, the entry is counted as one, and if separated,
counted as two. As an exception to the no-stand rule, only MAs/Ships that require flight stands on the above-mentioned shall
be allowed. In the case of the Gundam and G Fighter separation, in the Gundam MkII and Flying Armor separation, and in the
MkII-G Defenser separation, the Gundam units should not stand above the MAs/Ships and shall retain the standard catalog pose.
Single-combiner units such as the Bawoo, ZZ Gundam, etc. must be entered in combined and in MS Mode. The same applies
