Hey syd I figured I would ask you if you would like to become a judge for an upcoming contest I am holding. To celebrate the summer time and to give everybody something fun to enjoy together this year.

I’ve a question regarding kits to buy on a trip to Japan! My friends will be going on a trip to Japan soon and they asked me if I wanted any gunpla kits.
