BONSAI BONUS - MICRO-TREE MEETS HEAVY-METAL TRIKE-BIKE

Competition for Japan?

It took only a short while after our article on the Japanese artist Takanori Aiba for SMN contributor Mat Irvine to email us this pic of his neat UK competitor.

LITTLE AND LARGE SCALE MODELS FROM TAMIYA

SMN report:

We mentioned the 1:350 scale Yamato battleship last week, and now comes the question: “What about the crew?” The real thing needed nearly 2500 (yes, two-and-a-half thousand) crewmen to keep her in fighting trim, so it’s a matter of choice whether you display a ghost ship, or one that’s ready to steam in open water, mission to face the enemy. Tamiya has a solution for the latter choice - miniature crewmen made to the same 1:350 scale.
