Some of those models are masterpieces. The Japanese and Asian modeler's have such an attention to detail we can only aspire to. Lets face it they have given us some of the best plastic model kits in the world.

[@iceebearhawaii1735]

Especially the painting, in cases outside of Japan , when you show closeups of models, the painting is sometime sloppy and with poor lines. What were these folks thinking when they go to the effort of making a model and paint it in such a lousy way (maybe lack of talent or lack of effort due to concomitant poor personal hygiene-bwaahaahaa!!, so sloppy models too!

[@sulevisydanmaa9981]

@loki7441 WADDYA MEAN, bro, "some". A L L should be more substantiated. Rem the days of FROG, AURORA,,HELLER,,AIRFIX. Vs. Hasegawa, Tamiya, Trumpet. Rewell and Monogram were already adequate, 4 the most pt.

[@ffwingman329]

The little trains are amazing!

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

What I like is that's it's not a contest but one huge display of everybody's builds. Love the variety!!! Thanks for sharing. I'll be watching

[@fishnrc294]

This is just as much Art as it is model building.

[@gorrie3113]

So cool to see the great imagination from all the modellers

[@andygilliam1]

I've got to go see this show one day! Truly amazing.

[@silvestersze9968]

The way you filmed it is equally beautiful as the show itself! 🎉

[@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab]

I love the way the Japanese are so meticulous with their models...This is high art! I particularly like the Medical Frigate from 'The Empire Strikes Back'. Great vid! 👍🏻

[@chesterhires7859]

That is an awesome build

[@marchellochiovelli7259]

Those Japanese will make a model of just about everything. Even concrete and rebar. Stellar modelers on another level.

[@PeterFulford]

You know what caught my eye amongst all those vehicles? The french bakery storefronts (well that and the 35Panzer stuff which is totally over the top). Tiny brickwork is an underappreciated skill of Japanese modelers.

[@iceebearhawaii1735]

How about the large scale inside of the Lunar Module-wow!! Is that a kit? Probably scratch-built! And then the effort in some cases to scratch-build lighting into kits?

[@PeterFulford]

@@iceebearhawaii1735 All impressive. But how often do you see people looking at a pile of brick rubble and say "Dang that's some skill there"?

[@richardklug822]

Thanks so much for the slow, meticulous pace of your photography. Really enabled us to see the details in the exhibits. This show is a great retort to those who claim the hobby is dying (though I'll never understand the appeal of Gundams).

[@GelatinousShark]

IMO a big part of Gundam’s popularity is just how low the barrier of entry is. No glue required (some of the ”Entry Grade” kits even go a step further and doesn’t require sprue cutters!), the parts always fit together perfectly, and the parts are already colored which makes painting optional. It’s possible to get a fairly good looking model with only what’s in the box. Of course, that also mean that there are some people who never expand their horizons beyond Gundam, and are intimidated by other scale models and their perceived difficulty, which is a shame.

[@tracey-scotthamlett]

Was at that show on the Saturday got there early and didn't leave till the closing time the displays are over two floors and there was also the second hand market up stairs brought so much stuff home with me this is how shows should be run no competition just everyone enjoying the hobby

[@jamesfloyd6803]

The dioramas were amazing in their detail and imagination.

[@okrajoe]

Some amazing handiwork on display! Wish I had that kind of skill....

[@petehoskins1267]

Thank you.

[@AndrewStewartnzpntr4]

At about 5.28 there is a François Verlinden diorama (88mm Flak with Jeep) from about 1980 - a piece of modelling history that featured in one of the old Tamiya catalogues!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed!!!!! 👍👍

[@MGB-learning]

Outstanding video and Presentation.

[@thedamienharveygroup7014]

OK. I can't look anymore!!!! I would have had a tantrum when someone told me I had to leave! The quality of the work is fantastic. The weathering looks great. And the amount of quality dioramas is amazing. Apparently you have to be REALLY good to be in a Japanese model club. Andy, very nice camera work. Looking forward to a video where you recap your incredible trip. (if you haven't already made it). dh

[@silvestersze9968]

Thx Andy for creating and share this awesome video! That inspires me a lot. Now grab some sushi 🍱 and ramen 🍜

[@bradleyjones5932]

The Japanese have to be some of the best , if not the best model builders on the plant, 👍👍

[@johanmolendijk9811]

Hey Andy, was fun meeting you randomly on the streets of Kyoto! Enjoy your holiday and I will contact you when I’m back myself!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Nice meeting you too.

[@fishnrc294]

I grew up building models & id go to our local fair & they would have set ups just like you showed. My favorite was anything WW2.

[@You068]

Thanks

[@DavidXD57]

Thank you for sharing this with us !

[@stephencorbett9778]

Fantastic,wished some of the larger models were released in the UK just received my Tiger 1 kit 1/16th😊😊😊

[@Minibase834]

Great video…just need to switch the music up a bit

[@silvestersze9968]

I had been to Japan long long time ago… meow! We (my parents and I) stayed at Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo, Tokyo in 1971 or 72 I remember the Shinkansen 🚅

[@45degreesmodelling]

I love these videos. Gives me so much inspiration!

[@whiplash8277]

Awesome we got to see this.

[@jamesveaudry5151]

Thanks for these videos, awesome!

[@863rafael]

Absolutely amazing!

[@user-fo6ud3zs2o]

[@CiofinhoHD]

7:47 That Rx-78 looks insane

[@pascallaval2083]

[@mrstacyj9496]

[@redgreen09]

[@thomasmoroney4993]

Wow! Master model builders…

[@loetzcollector466]

It would be impossible to judge this. Impossible.

[@fedwchoung5466]

Perfect!!!!

[@audiophobia82]

My ASMR ♡

[@charleslaine]

Again, it's crossword puzzles for me from here on out. ;-)

[@philrisbridger919]

Green with envy

[@north584]

Was the medical frigate from Star Wars studio scale with original parts?

[@marchellochiovelli7259]

If you look to the rear, there is a tank turret as part of the build. Also ship hulls. Definitely a lot of parts box add ons. Very spectacular

[@Brian-WolfmanJack99]

@19:55 🔥🔥🔥

[@blitzpixgarage3319]

Thank you for the video...but I was shocked by the huge number of 1970ies style of bad/poor/unrealistic dioramas... 😞

[@miragebangbravern]

I mean, sci-fi is hugely popular in Japan so of course they would have more of a focus on that. At least that introduces many younger people to the hobby.

[@profoundvisuals3293]

What’s the blue bug above the mirror?

[@0000syuable]

綺麗な画像と適切なズーム･スピードで、とても好感が持てます！ この手のレポート動画では一番なのではないでしょうか？

[@Smokie_McBurnin]

Who makes the figures at the 9:28 to 9:35, i tried to look for a brands logo but the only one I saw was to small to read

[@xaraxen]

If this lasts a week, I'll be out next week.

[@scaleartsg]

Hey Andy, care to share how would one travel to Shizouka? Did you land in haneda or narita and take a train there?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Haneda and took JR line railroad to Shizuoka

[@ericng5707]

Just put your start and end points into Google Maps and you'll get a good idea of the route and what trains to use.

[@jeffholt9437]

Are there dealers / traders at the show?

[@jaanikaapa6925]

When you need a microscope to see the model...

[@alexander1485]

Just curious, i noticed no females present, were they just not interested or allowed?

[@randomnickify]

You can actually see/hear few females there. I also watched videos from Japanese female craft youtubers that were on that show. As far I understand, females in Japan actually have much bigger choice in modeling/crafting hobby than just "tanks"- loots of figurines, custom-made dolls, intricate dollhouses, jewelery crafting and even female oriented gunpla. They even sell female-oriented "cute" modelling tools. But I saw most of this stuff on Wonderfest, I'm not yet sure if there is a "female oriented" section on this show since I am still in process of binging other videos from this place 😂

[@markholmphotography]

No videos of the vendor booths?

[@PeterFulford]

I believe this was adjacent to the main Vendors portion of the show. Vendor video(s) I'm assuming will follow.

[@ericng5707]

There are plenty of videos in Japanese, which is fine for just looking at the booths and showcased products. Search for 静岡ホビーショー (Shizuoka Hobby Show).
