Team America at the 2018 Shizuoka Hobby Show (May 12,13)
Scooter Man replied to Scooter Man's topic in General Discussion
Hi John, Thanks for that insight. Seeing as how I really enjoy rubbing shoulders with modelers from all around the world I'd really love to visit the show in Telford and a couple of the other big shows in Europe one day!! I think the thing I enjoy about visiting the club tables is that I can often times speak to the actual builder of a model that catches my eye!! I just don't get that same chance at the shows here in the U.S.😧 -
Team America at the 2018 Shizuoka Hobby Show (May 12,13)
Scooter Man replied to Scooter Man's topic in General Discussion
Like I said....I cannot be certain why there are not more Americans who don't attend the Shizuoka Hobby Show. Maybe some of my fellow Americans could shed some light on the reason they don't attend. I guess considering the sheer size of the show in Shizuoka I am somewhat bewildered that more of them don't make the journey. Maybe it has more to do with the cost & distance - who really knows?? Anyway I was just taking a guess based on my own unique personal experiences. While over the past 25+ years I have attended countless number of modeling shows throughout the U.S. (includin -
Team America at the 2018 Shizuoka Hobby Show (May 12,13)

Hi Brian, I've attended the 2016 & 2017 Shizuoka Hobby Shows and I've seen several visitors from different European and other Asian countries but not really whole lot of Americans. I know the distance and cost is probably a huge factor in keeping most Americans from attending but from my own personal perspective the Shizuoka Hobby Show is totally worth the money & time. I can't speak for certain but I sometimes get the sense that a lot of Americans tend to prefer participating in "competitive" events whereas culturally the same is not as true with the Japanese.

I have put together a team of American model builders who are going to be attending this year's Shizuoka Hobby Show in Shizuoka, Japan. For those of you who might not be familiar with the Shizuoka Hobby Show it is arguable the largest plastic model exhibition in the world. The show itself is housed in two very large exhibition halls. One of the halls is filled with professional trade displays from the various major Japanese model companies such as Tamiya, Hasegawa, Bandai, Aoshima,, and a few of the lesser companies as well. The 2nd exhibition hall is where over 130 model clubs from all ov

Kit # Pt 21. All parts are still in their factory sealed plastic bags. There is some black magic marker cross outs on the box cover - I was going to use this kit originally to make an A-4M using the CE conversion set...and then Hasegawa came out with the A-4M kit.

I don't know it this will help but several years back I started to staple both ends of the strips - the staples are at the outter ends so I've never had them interfere with my sanding efforts...AND....since I've been doing this I've never had any problems with them coming "unglued" like you mentioned. Good luck! Tim

There are probably several reason why I enjoy building models, however the strongest reason is because building models provides a "3 dimensional playing field" for my imagination.
