Here’s how to enjoy the displayed works by GUNPLA fans!
Digital Diorama
The winning works from the GUNPLA BUILDERS WORLD CUP 11th TOURNAMENT JAPAN and diorama works made by creators have been scanned and turned into 3D data for an experience that you can have only in the Metaverse.
Along with 3DCG works, there will also be explanations and special interviews by Hobby Japan editorial department. You can enjoy that along with the scanned digital dioramas.
Also, there are works by Masaya Ichi/Tsumukishiki from the artist group ANIMAREAL on display so you can immerse yourself in Masaya Ichi’s unique world.

Digital Diorama Builders’ Comments
Here are comments from builders. Let's check them.
・ANIMAREAL Masaya Ichi
As someone who lives for digital art and a fan of mecha content, I’m very honored to be able to participate in this initiative. I created a fictitious story called GUNDAM HOPE in which people live inside of the ruins of a Garuda-class transport ship in a city that’s called the trash heap of the world, and used my work to represent that story. I believe I was able to use the Metaverse space to tell that story, so please enjoy it.

Dioramas are great!
I can’t believe we can see my work in 3D!
Plus, even the diorama has been turned into 3D!
This is the definition of being overjoyed!
Please enjoy my work by checking it out while standing on the pipes and rocky walls of my diorama!

The RIGGING JEGAN that I created in this digital diorama is roughly 40m tall, so you can look up at it from below and float around it in zero gravity. I feel like GUNPLA has quickly become something like a theme park attraction.
I’ll thank the maintenance crew inside my diorama for making it easy to use, and will enjoy feeling like the big boss!

My own GUNPLA has been scanned and is displayed in the Metaverse! As someone who grew up reading comics where GUNPLA were scanned then used to fight, I can’t stop my excitement!
It’s a GUNPLA of an original SD character and not an official one, so you won’t be familiar with my work, but please check it out!

I’ve been a GUNPLA fan for more than ten years and have diligently been making them, and now my work is displayed in a digital space. I never even dreamed this could happen.
I’m happy I’ve continued to stick to what I love!
I hope I’m able to help out even a little bit with starting this new kind of GUNPLA community!
Everyone, let’s enjoy GUNPLA and the Gundam Metaverse together!

Thank you for displaying my work in the newly opened Gundam Metaverse. I was deeply moved by being able to gaze at the MS I made in the Metaverse space looking like the real thing. I hope everyone else can feel the same way I did. Please enjoy yourselves.

I’m so happy that the SD Gundam I have an emotional attachment to has made its debut in the Metaverse!
The GUNPLA was scanned at all angles and burst into the Metaverse space! I hope everyone is able to enjoy this warrior leader’s hour of triumph!
Let’s walk down this path for a man’s man together.

It’s like a dream to be able to see my own GUNPLA in the Metaverse space!
The hurdle was pretty high because I asked them to scan some of the parts that weren’t made of plastic, but I’m moved by how beautifully everything came out.
The Gundam Metaverse is full of so many hopes and dreams of the builders. I can’t wait to see what else is in GUNPLA’s future!

I never even dreamed of being able to see my work displayed in the Metaverse space.
This is the result of having built GUNPLA and submitting them to BUILDERS NOTE.
My life has gone up since I started Builder’s Note.
Thank you very much for this invitation.

I believe the Gundam Metaverse is embedded with the possibility for new connections due to being able to appreciate every corner of works made by people too far to meet in real life.
Everyone, please come to see my work.
I’m looking forward to seeing all of your works and meeting you in the Gundam Metaverse.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to call my work a joke, but I can’t wait to see how I can make people laugh!
I made it with the purpose of being silly! (LOL)
Please come see my Nu Ball that’s now a 3D model!
I hope it puts a smile on your face.

Having my GUNPLA scanned and even being able to see it move is like a dream for me, who started painting and customizing GUNPLA from Build Fighters! When I think about how we may even be able to actually battle in the near future, I can’t stop myself from being excited!
Everyone, please experience the future of GUNPLA!

I truly feel that being able to freely move GUNPLA is no longer just a hope for the future!

I was given the chance to have my GUNPLA scanned into a 3D model and displayed within the Metaverse. When I see the GUNPLA that I made move, I can see my dream of GUNPLA battles becoming a reality and I can’t hold back the excitement! I hope lots of people will be able to view my scanned model.

The Gundam Metaverse has created a reality where my GUNPLA has been photographed in very cool pictures and seen by many people!
Within that Metaverse is a gallery display where you can see various works in a new fashion.
Please access it and visit my GUNPLA photo gallery along with the other experiences within the Metaverse space.

I’m having a personal display within the Gundam Metaverse!
The display puts together photos of all of my work so far in one room!
I never dreamed of having this opportunity, so it’s an honor!
I hope that a lot of people are able to come see my work, so please check it out!

This is an incredible stage for everyone to display their usual activities such as having personal galleries and having photographs taken of modelers’ works, and I’m so honored to have been invited!
I hope that I’ve helped embellish the Metaverse experience for everyone.
I hope to continue devoting myself and learning from all kinds of experiences without growing conceited.

I have 24 photos in this gallery, including a new work that I made specifically for this.
The real-life universe that I dreamed of as a child is on display in SHIGE TOY STUDIO’s very own gallery!
The digital diorama by other builders is also impressive.
The Gundam Metaverse really feels like you’re right there in the venue. Please experience it for yourself.

It really made me feel how communication between builders has come so far!
I’m very grateful that many people are able to see my photos through this new technology.
You might get a different impression of the photos of my plastic models compared to the ones I’ve taken before, but I hope that everyone will discover something new. My gallery is waiting for you! ^^
