Kit of a Model Kit Making Machine


Hmm...want to know how injection kits are produced, you have to build this kit then. Strange.

Tamiya 1/70 Apollo Lunar Spacecraft




Unveiled in this year Shizuoka Hobby Show. Re-released kit from Tamiya of the Apollo Lunar Spacecraft. Looking forward to get my hands on it! Expect it to sell-out fast. Retail price: 4830 Yen


Hasegawa Gold Mirror Finish

Size:90mm x 200mm

Quote from website:

"For the finishing of the parts like an emblem of a car model, sculpture of character model and a special marking of an airplane, etc. These flexible vapor deposition sheets use a new technology and are superior in adherence to curved surfaces. You can detail up models with a gold mirror finish effect not easily attainable by painting. "

What in the world is "vapor deposition sheets"?! Nevertheless looks like a useful product especially in view of Tamiya 1/70 Apollo Lunar Spacecraft re-release, will get one when I can.

Delorean Die-Cast Model







Looks good from the preview pictures, nice size(18cm), nice price (US$29) expected to be out sometime July-August'09 in Japan. Have pre-ordered mine, please contact me if interested.

Tamiya Magazine: Very 1st Issue Ever!


Woah! Bought this from from Ebay for old time sake. Date is Spring 1985. Very cool, scale modelling magazines have since come a long way.

Wild Female Panzer Commander in 1/35


One of the craziest 1/35 scale WWII figures I have seen. Molded finely in quality resin, latex or leather underwear and boots. Includes two heads, one in crazy anime style. Crazy price, made by crazy Japanese. Bought it anyway...

Good Stuff to Create Metallic Finish


A product much favoured by Japanese Gundam model makers to recreate a realistic shiny metal-like finish. No airbrush required!

Arii Vintage Dinosaur Kits

Arii mini dinosaur kits. The usual suspects. Box art nothing special but nontheless classic.
