Wonder showcase of different colors, such as figures made without using any hands or virtually modeled virginity works

"Wonder Showcase" official website "Manifesto""If it is not a good or bad of modeling, it can not be looked if the character is not popular, and if it is popular on the contrary, if it is popular with a character, it will sell like fly as well" While the Wonder Festival has become bigger as an event, people who hold the spirit "I want to make overwhelming things!" In my heart are buried like trees hidden in the woods It means that there is a situation that it will happen.

So in order to prevent rigidification of the situation surrounding the garage kit, it was established in 1998 that "aiming to train budding garage kit writers"Wonder Showcase". Three writers were elected this time, and their biographies are quite special. Model standing brought a bold composition daring to a common pretty girl figureGeeziaMr. and French writer who completed the work by using 3DCG software and data produced by it without using his own hands at allWalterHe was doing a model finisher (production agency business) of a beauty girl figure garage kit using a rental showcase while aiming for a professional cartoonistMasanari KusuiMr. From the selection of writers with careers not to stay in the framework of general figure making, I felt that the wonder festival seemed to see what I am now seeking.

Details are as below.Wonder Showcase Officail Web Site

"Mr. Giaohia"Fairy tales Little Red Riding HoodGretel (general retail price since OneFest: 12000 yen including tax)


Speaking of figures, "Standing Gravure" (a little relaxed pose from "upright posture of" Be careful ") is almost, but this work is unconventional and bold posing.



Of course there is a reason why the model stand is mainstream, there is a reason, "Because the silicone rubber type at the time of replication becomes huge, if you take a dynamic pose, the profit margin gets worse" and the problem of the cost side " It is said that there is a result based on the rule of thumb backed by the historical beauty figure figure history that the pose girl figure is bad selling compared with the one on the gravure stand.


Moreover, this composition is not a figure of the scene in the play as it is, it is surprised because it was made with the idea of ​​"This character would look nice with this character".



"Wonder Showcase" Label Producer and Model Culture LighterMasahiko AsanaAccording to Mr., "It is extremely difficult for the runaway to the extent that" there is no figure shaping experience "like" (like Mr. Giazia) confronting works based on dynamic space composition like Gretel " Says. It may be that a work of free thought not caught by the mainstream of the industry is one of the attitude of the maker who is required for one festival in the future.


Followed by Mr. Walter "AMEISE ROBOTIC F.360 DELUXE" (general retail price after one festival: 10000 yen) is the original character.


While residing in Tokyo, while working as a colorist (a manga that colors colors in cartoon) of a band descine (a comic in an area mainly of Belgium and France), while using his 3DCG software as a work, it is a hobbyistic original design of 3D data I was creating a garage kit because I found a supplier who will stereoscopically output it, he said that he began artistic activities with a rather special circumstance.


A model that simultaneously embodies the contradictory charm of warmth and future feeling. It is hard to believe that this was made with only data output without using any hands. By the way, this time it was the first time foreign writers were elected.



The word "handmade" is one of the important elements in any field, but as technology develops, there is no need to stick to using your hands right now, especially if the result is important I felt it was made to make people thinking.




Finally, "Duaora" of Mr. Masanari Kusunoki (general retail price after one festival: 8800 yen including tax) This is also the original character.


As aiming to become a professional cartoonist, he has had a career as improving model making sense and technology as a model finisher (production agency) of a beautiful girl figure garage kit using a rental showcase, this time "Dua Ora" I designed by myself in anticipation of stereoscopicization and I am doing prototype production on my own.


I am compatible with myself as a painter and myself as a modeling person, and I am completing all the work by one person. Because the model finisher is in charge of finishing the figure to the last, it is hard to believe that this work is a virtual figurative virgin work in fact.


As Mr. Masahiko Asano says, "There are many subtle nuances that are irresistible to fans of that hand", he says. As a matter of fact, it is very pretty, it is probably clear that anyone can see it is also aimed at. It seems that the skill to three-dimensionize its "aim" without excess or deficiency was the deciding factor of the election.


It is an honest place that 2 out of 3 selected works are original characters, and "Gretel" can not be said that the model is now mainstream as a wonderful character. I thought that the future that the wonder festival aims for a little glimpse into the lineup of elections that are not restricted by the popularity of the character and the attractiveness such as technical strength and production method to the eyes.
