BAKUC North America! (Beta)

So boys and girls, aside from the FichtenFoo.com redesign, I had another project this summer. Since May 2007 I’ve been contracted to do freelance web work on the design of the North America Bandai Action Kit Universal Cup (BAKUC) Online website!

This website was programmed from the ground-up to not only be a contest website, but a model gallery and community as well. While the forum is still under construction, the rest of the site is ready to go! Any modeler can go and upload their photos to the gallery, get feedback and votes, then enter them into various contest such as the big one: The BAKUC 2007 Semi-Finals for North America! Win that and you win a trip to Hong Kong to compete in the BAKUC finals! There will also be a monthly contest and random draw competitions. All of which have great prizes for winning!

Anyway, this was a great project to work on and I’m proud to be a part of it. It has a lot of potential and will hopefully show Bandai that NA still loves gunpla! Don’t give up on us Bandai! (Oh, and make an MG Gerbera Tetra already Bandai! What are you waiting for?)

It wasn’t an easy process, but after a few redesigns we got a great looking site full of functionality and potential. The Masked BAKUC was fun to draw in the chibi style. There’s probably a few bugs and other issues that’ll come up as they do with any new site, but the programmer is fantastic and will have everything running smoothly!

Thanks to Sean for bringing me on with this project and congrats on a programming job well done! I also want to thank Zerobxu for helping me tremendously with the content writing, proofreading, spell checking, and everything else with this. You have a gift for the written word. I have a few thank-you surprises to send you for all the help. 🙂 Just need your new addy. Thanks to to the beta-testers as well. Great job guys!

So go register and enter your works into the gallery and the contests. It’s free! Also the first 100 entrants can get a free Action Base with the purchase of any model from HobbyWave!

This site is for everyone regardless of skill level. There will be contests for Juniors ans Open categories with each category split into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert skill classes.Tell your friends and spread the word! The more people that enter the site, the more fun it’ll be. You can help spread the word with this banner.

Thanks for looking and I hope you guys enjoy the site. It’s been hard keeping it a secret, especially with some of the flak I’ve gotten recently, but now it’s done and we can all enjoy the hobby together.
