I don’ know why I feel disappointed, I didn’t think I’d win anything. I’m not quite sure how I feel about the Beginner catagory. I don’t have anything good to say so I’ll keep my mouth shut.
Yeah I know what you mean Brotzmann, I’m surprised no one here got awarded anything. Oh well, RG, MG, or PG…maybe even one of the regular models I have next time, got a Spitfire Mk something, an A-10a, Tamiya Mercedes C9 Group C, Tamiya Mazda 787b (both the Lemans winning 55, and the 56).
Got confused about the username section, did they want…[Read more]
What are places or things to see in Tokyo and Kyoto people would recommend?
I’m open to any ideas or places. Anything Anime, Manga, Gundam, Plamo, Pokemon, or video game would be of major interest. If you were going where would you go? The Bandai tour would be cool but looks a little out of the way and requires advanced tickets.
For Tokyo, hands down it is Akihabara. One stop shopping for everything you mentioned.
I have been to only two hobby shops in Kyoto, the one on the north side of the station is gone, and I don’t know if the one on the south side is still there. It is across from the enormous five story pagoda thingy. We dubbed it “the hobby shop in a closet”…[Read more]
It isn’t included in your ‘major interest’ category but I would highly recommend seeing some of the shrines around Kyoto as well as the Golden Temple. Also try and see if there are any local festivals going on near where you are staying.
When I went to Japan a few years ago my host family took me to the Kawagoe (a city near Tokyo) festival and it…[Read more]
Happy holidays everyone.
I was going to post some new WIP and completed pics to the forum but yep, it’s down. How will I get through the work days? I don’t post a lot but I do read and check it a lot.
I know exactly what you mean. I’m in a local modeling club and there is only 1 other person that does sci fi kits. And those are well known series like Star Wars. I actually don’t like going to meetings very much any more. All the elderly members comment how they don’t get Gundam continually, even though they’ve had it explained to them at least…[Read more]
Well I wouldn’t say I get that kind of reaction so much. I used to be part of the Granite State Modelers Club in New Hampshire and a friend of mine (also a Gundam and sci-fi modeler) used to be president of that club, I think that probably had a positive influence on them. My current club is the Patriots club in Massachusetts, and the experience…[Read more]
All I know is that the Beginner category winners were way more advanced than what I’m capable of. So I clearly have much to learn. 🙂

I totally feel you, Brotznann. I feel some people here deserved it more.
