Would be nice to see this regards - dutik I tried to link photos from Google Photos to the forum before with all kinds of inconsistent results. Let us try it again... These are photos I took in May 2017. I visited Tamiya HQ again in 2018 and 2019 and this diorama was still there. I was supposed to go there in 2020 but Covid cancelled all that. I hope you can see them. Radu Gazzas, Scotsman, Basta and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, aren't there any number of more worthy subjects available? How many will you be buying for your stash? Well herein lies the rub - what might be a worthy subject to you probably has zero interest for someone else. You might argue that HPH would be better off spending their resources on something else, but they know their market and want to make something that no-one else has done before.

LSP_Ray Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Nice pics, Radu! What is your estimate of that display case size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 1 hour ago, LSP_Ray said: Nice pics, Radu! What is your estimate of that display case size? The glass case is about 1.5 m x 1.5 m (5 ft x 5 ft), It is quite large. The entrance lobby has a lot of items on display, including some genuine Formula 1 cars, Le Mans cars, and even an injection-moulding machine that dispenses a hot (and free of charge) “souvenir” 1/10 Samurai plastic figure model kit that is not for sale anywhere else. From the lobby, past the elevators, one can get to a museum with many of the products made by Tamiya. Visiting that museum will make it instantly clear that LSP account for only a small fraction of their output, but that may be the subject of another thread.

Tamiya have a shuttle from the show grounds to their HQ and back. Japan is much cheaper than USA. In my own experience, flying to Japan, travel inside Japan, accommodation, eating out (no tipping!!!), everything was cheaper in Japan than USA. If one can afford to travel to USA, one can easily afford to travel to Japan. Radu Kagemusha, chukw and LSP_Ray 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
