Guys, this is a really big video.

So I've got a lot of stuff to talk to you about, so it's gonna be kind of a very talking at you.

Heavy video.

So sorry for that.

But there's a lot of cool stuff to go over.

A really big announcement.

Don't want to share with you guys that I've been holding in.

But I really can't wait to tell you guys about this.

And of course, there's a new contest that we're kicking off.

So I want to tell you guys all about the new contest.

So after I talk about the big announcement first, then we'll go over there.

Eligio, know all the details about the announcement.

But as some of you may have noticed, last month I passed 100,000 subscribers.

So thank you all for that.

Cheers.

All right, taste so sweet.

But in all honestly, guys, um, it really I It wasn't like a really huge, like, surprised me feeling If I mentioned this to a couple people, that it really felt a lot like a birthday.

It's kind of thing, you know?

It's coming like and then when it's there It's like it's cool because it's your birthday and people are telling you have birthday and you get some cool stuff.

But ultimately it's just another day, just another number.

It was kind of like that kind of experience.

Like I It's not lost to me.

The fact that 100,000 scribe 100,000 subscribers is a huge achievement, especially in our very small hobby on it's been a long time coming and definitely a lot of hours put into this channel to get there.

But the same time it is just another number.

And I have no intention of slowing down or kind of like taking a rest like 100,000 like Chill out now.

No, we're gonna be going E Well, you know, more and more and more.

And so I have no intention of stopping or slowing down anytime soon.

We're just gonna keep on going as long as we can.

Uh, still enjoying this very much.

So 100,000 scrubbers now it's one on one.

You know, it's it passed it like a month ago in a little bit late to actually talking about it.

But, uh, yeah, it's pretty awesome.

So I don't have my silver play button yet.

I think you have to like, applying for that or something.

It just do something on you two.

I haven't done that yet.

When I do, I'll show it to you guys.

But that's not the big announcement.

The really big announcement is that, uh, my kind of dream of being able to do this full time is finally going to become a reality.

So as of November 1st of this year, I'm no longer going to be having my day job as a teacher.

And I'm gonna be doing this totally as my day job working for us a goddamn store.

Adam, Adam is gonna be bringing me on as a full time employee.

I'll still be here in Korea for the time being, but the plan is at the woman's.

Later on, I'm gonna be moving back to the United States with my family, will move back to the States, and I'll work there at us second store.

But for the time being, just gonna be working here in Korea full time, and so that will give me the chance to make a lot more content for you guys and you know, that'll be especially the kind of content I know you guys want to see more of, like a work in progress videos, tutorial, kind of videos, trying out new products and new paints and things like that.

All that stuff.

I know you guys want to see more of that, and I really want to make more of that kind of content.

It's just that that kind of content, it takes more time, that kind of time, that now, under my current restrictions, it's just really hard to find time to make that kind of content as well as reviews and other things as well.

So this will give me a chance to make a lot more content for you guys, and there'll be a lot more things.

It'll be kind of a growing experience.

To be honest for the first couple of months would probably be kind of like figuring out the schedule how it's gonna work best for me.

I also want to get back to doing more live streaming, so we'll be doing more streaming on YouTube and twitch and things like that I'll be able to do Morgan interview serious more interviews with some different people.

That's something that I wanted to get back to doing as well.

So this a lot of things I want to do a lot of ideas that I want to dio on.

This is gonna make that much more possible.

There's still only on Lee a certain amount of hours in the day, still limited.

Can't do everything that I want to do.

But this is going to be a huge help in being able to create more and better content for you guys.

So, uh oh, Adam and everyone there us a gun store.

I really, really appreciate the support.

And, you know, this is gonna be a really great experience, I think.

And so we're looking forward to end all of you guys, You know, if you enjoy the content that I create or if you're looking forward to Maur of the content that I'm going to be creating now that I'll be able to do this full time, definitely let Adam and the eldest staff there use a gun store.

Let them know that you're thankful, You know, if you're living in the U.

S.

If you're living in North America, shop on their side every now and then, If you're not already, of course you can use my coupon code.

There is a really is 10 on.

Just show some support for them because Adam is, of course, making a big investment to bring me on as a template to just create content for you guys.

And, uh, you know, if nothing else, it just shows that he's committed Thio making a positive impact in the community through me.

So that's a really you know, it really feels good to have that backing and so it's gonna be awesome.

So I'm really looking forward to that.

Um, you know, it's gonna be great.

So there's a lot of things that I want to work on.

Of course, we'll talk more about that later, but that's the big announcement.

For now, Um, let's head over there and I'll let you guys know all the details about the contest.

All right, so some of you may have guessed.

Based on my teaser image that I posted a couple days ago, this contest is going to be Yakushiji themed.

I thought it made sense because, you know it's to celebrate passing 100,000 subscribers, 100 and the hell Kuchiki.

It's kind of just made sense.

So it's Yakushiji theme is that means the theme that I want you guys to work with here is using any version of the KUCHIKI or any variation of the hacker shaky So the girls use the Delta, Gun them to Delta, plus the Delta Chi the like the Kakashi Ky Ky.

Or what is it, the Hukou Shiki Mass production type?

There was other people, and I master it kids anyway.

So as long as it's one of those kids that's like based off of the Delta gunman with Yoshiki, then it's good.

So it could be S T h g master grade.

And I think that there's no other really kids unless you using like old one of 44 skill, non great kid or something like that, but a So that's what you have to use.

And there's gonna be three main categories.

So does whatever it is.

You're your skill level.

You should be able to enter in this contest as long as you have one of those kids.

Of course, uh, let's go over the three categories here, So the first category is the advanced category.

This is basically where I want you guys to focus on, especially the rial technical skills.

So for the advanced category, I want this to be just the mobile suit.

Only you can have it on some sort of like simple base, but I don't want any sort of diagram or anything around it or any other any other kids involved.

I want it to be focused just on your kit.

So this will be focusing mostly on, you know, adding details, adding, doing any sort of customers customization.

You can use the custom parts you can keep bashing this.

I still want the majority of the kids to be one of, you know, the Yoshiki variant kits you can't like.

Just take a masquerade, are 78 Gundam and just painted gold.

And put like a cockroach, Kiki Dee Colin.

It's still has to be a dashiki based kit.

You can customize it a cz, much as you like Kitt bash.

You can add extra parts.

You can use code book your parts If you want to use like some code book chemistry, weapons or something like that, it's all it's all good for that.

I just want to be able to look at it and really fine detail.

I'm gonna be looking at your painting.

Is it done?

Really?

Well, you know, all your of course, the detail, work, decal, work, things like that.

I wanted to look really, really nice.

That's the first category.

That's the advanced category on.

Then the next category is going to be a diagram, A category.

So this one is specifically for people who do want to make some sort of diagram.

Oh, or been yet on.

So with this category, you can use other kits.

So if you want to use 234 kids, all in one drama, that's final.

Still, the main kid has to be a dashiki type kit on.

Then.

You know, the rest of the diagram is totally up to you.

So with this one, basically, uh, the kid's gonna be a big part of it.

And then also, the diagram itself is, of course, going to be a big part of the judging as well.

So that's what we're gonna be looking at in this.

You have to have a good concept, and then you have to have good execution as well.

So it doesn't you know, you can have a really cool idea for a diagram of how you want to do it, But we're still gonna be looking at technical skills to painting.

And, of course, all the finishing work, everything like that.

And this the base you know, of your dorm is all gonna be considered in this as well.

And then the third and final category is going to be the beginner category.

Beginner category is going to be just a photography contest.

So I'm still gonna be looking at the kit.

So the quality of your build is still going to be a part of the judging process, but it doesn't have to be painted in this category.

Painting is optional.

If you want to do some painting, are all painting or no painting at all?

That's, you know, I'm sitting here looking at the quality of your build.

If you got a bunch of no marks or things like that, then you know that's going to points off.

But a big portion of this one is just going based off the photography.

So I want you to have some cool dynamic of a singular, cool, dynamic photograph.

They want to enter for your final entry for this.

And also I should mention in this category as well.

I want youto only have just the one kid in it.

So the diary, my category is the only category where you can have more than one kids in your in your entry for the advance category and beginner category.

I want to be only focused on just the single kits.

So hopefully that should be clear enough.

Of course, you guys have any further questions?

Do feel free to just let me know.

Now, next thing about these is that I'm going to have a guest judge for each of the categories as well.

So it's not going to be just me judging them.

Uh, I'm going to have a special guest judge to help with each of the different categories.

So for the advanced category, I thought it only made sense to ask my good friend Joshua Dera, to help judge that one.

So Josh is gonna be helping me judge those cause he's a very technical builder.

As you guys know, he's gonna specializes in detail ing up.

Doing some like little customization is and things like that to his build.

So I thought they'd be very fitting for him to be the guest judge for that For the diagram.

A category that I'm gonna be helped by multiple G W C winner as well.

When I'm long from Thailand, you guys should know him.

He's been a guest on campus talk a few times as well.

He makes amazing builds.

Ah, lot of times diagram a based or setting a scene in his bills as well.

So I got a perfect a person to help me judge the diagram.

A category as well.

So big.

Thank you to both of those guys, Josh, and win for agreeing to help judge those categories as well.

And then for the beginner category, I'm gonna be joined by none other than Adam from us again In store is gonna help me judge the photography the beginner category photography contest portion of that as well as the Adam's gonna be helping me out with that we're gonna be looking for, of course, just a cool dynamic.

Photographs should also mention I suppose that you guys can't use a photo shop in this.

Now you can make minor adjustments to like your levels and color things like that.

But anything like two Major is not going to be cool.

Or if I see it, it's got a ton of clear Photoshopped going on there.

Then it's not really going to be counted as highly.

So now I think you guys know all about that and you want to know what are the prizes?

So I've got a ton of prizes and there's going to be three winners from the events category three winners from the big drama category and two winners from the beginner category.

And in total, it's over $1000 with the prizes.

There's a lot of stuff to give away, and a lot of this stuff is is donated by different people.

So let's go through all the prizes again, starting off with the advanced category.

So the first prize for the advanced category, donated by another that then my good friend was also named Zack Zack doing They made this huge donation with this kid that I want to give as the first prize in advance category.
