I have been to the Shizuoka Hobby Show in Japan. Here is a compilation of my photographs I took at the exposition and the vendor stands.
Venue
Exposition
Custom figure of: German infantry woman Lisa and PZB-39 anti-tank rifle. A kit designed by: Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragonball. Lisa appears with nippers in the really cute designed instructions and Arake created this awesome custom figure of her!
Ukitobachi, a story about a flying fishing boat. Not sure if this is the maker, but I found only 2 sources online on Twitter about this beautiful model.
An awesome 1/35 diorama made by Kazuya Yoshioka-san. See also his book: “The Diorama Perfection”, Code: MDG23032 JAN Code: 9784499230322.
零式艦上戦闘機 52型 (三菱)
A World War II Japanese A6M5 Model 52 “Zero” fighter aircraft, produced by Mitsubishi.
Made by: (渡邉さん) Watanabe-san, Asahi Club.
You can view the entire build and step-by-step painting techniques of this 1:24 Scopedog in the book: “Learning from Expert - Mastering Metal Painting”, made by the maker, Shincha-san.
The maker of these VOTOMS models is Shincha-san, who gave me his card and talked with me about how he makes his work. With my limited Japanese, I appreciated he took some time to talk to me and I started following his work.
A bust with console of the AV98 Ingram from Patlabor. A photograph barely does it justice, for there was movement and lights built in. Check 6jiro’s Twitter to see this model move.
