They don't come in inflatables? ;)
Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.
Got your mail and replied. I don't know GITS well enough to recognize the major or the tachikoma, but will look at Yodobashi camera on the weekend. Have to rest now to get rid of the fever :-(
Kotobukiya and Wave make Ghost in the Shell related. Search Hobby Link Japan. I have the 1/72 Jigabachi AV from Kotobukiya which includes a little 1/72 scake Tachikoma. It's a beautiful kit. If the Wave *koma kits are like other Wave kits, they'll be nice too.
If I remember when I get home tonight, I can post a site I came across (quite possibly via RMS) where there are in progress shots of the masters being built. Well, I believe they're the masters, but I don't really know for sure since I don't read any kanji.
that major nane has some serious boobage. check out the ghost in the shell show. the writers are amazing. the add history and future thought. the individual 11 storyline is amazing.
i want the 1/24 BLUE tachikomas with the major babe figure. it's sold out on some sites, so if you see it, please help.
yes, get well. my stuff can wait.
Ed,
Have you painted your Russian B-25 yet?
If not, you want to get hold of the latest issue of Model Aircraft Monthly, Vol.7, #1, January , 2008.
The article, "Soviet Mitchells", has twenty-five b/w photos, four color photos, ten color side views, top and bottom color views and a four page article on converting the Italeri B-25J to a B-25D-30. Lots of color scheme variations, individual aircraft markings and even a test bed with a big ole turbojet on top.
Cheers,
Tom
wow, thanks!
tom, could you email me?
ok ... starting here

there's several gallaries of Ghost In the Shell models. One of which I think is the in-progress build of the master for the Kotobukiya Jigabachi AV kit.
And another might be in-progress build shots of the master for the Wave.
In stock at hobby link japan ...

Hi there, since the price varies so much at the various shops, I'll see how much cheaper (or not) it will be from Japanese shops compared to HLJ. for sure when I am in Akihabara on the weekend I will be able to check out some of the discount shops.
thanks gernot. wish i could get the green and blue together, but i think it would be too much. as long as i get major babe, i'll love the blue.
