I hope everthing works out for the best. Always look forward to your builds. Hopefully you can enjoy some of this nice Ohio weather...finally.

 

Once I have it, I will be most honored if you would follow my build and I want to thank you for that!  I've been enjoying this gorgeous Ohio weather.  My grandson and I go out every time he visits me!

Don't kid or demean yourself Toshi, your builds are very well done, and fit here with some of the best.  I can't believe how far you have progressed in the 2 years you have been building.  Way above what I turn out.

 

 

 

 

To goldhammer,

 

Thank you for such support and kind words about my building of kits.  It humbles me greatly in that you think that it; "Fit's here with some of the best".  Wow!  There's a Japanese saying that goes; "The student is only as good as the teacher is".  I'm the very lucky one as there are superior teachers here like you that helped me progressed within the two years I've been building kits.  

Toshi

 

I like that. I only owe where i am now in my modelling to the members of this forum. Many of them are no longer posting but i know their influence is still here.

Toshi, I can somewhat relate to an extent. I recently blew out my knee cap after tripping over a rail road tie chasing a punk. It was bad. I'm getting better now but nowhere near where I was before. What a horrible feeling it was being incapacitated. The important thing is you survived and you even discovered this wonderful hobby as a result. We're all here for you my friend and I can't wait to see that mossie. I have Lou Lumas' in 1/48 coming fairly soon.

 

Blowing out your knee cap sounds very painful.  It's always a difficult road to recovery to get back to where you once was.  I got hurt on 5/5/2010.  I'm still not where I'm supposed to be and the doctors say I improved but I still have a long way to go.  For me, it's very frustrating and I'm sure the same is for you.  

Oh well, this is definitely a part of life that must be mastered.  But most importantly the definition to life is to live it fully and that's what I try to do.  Finding this wonderful hobby was one key aspect to my recovery, it's people like you that I'm inspired by.  And that also includes all forum members, thank you Lawdog114 for your support in me and my projects.  It's greatly appreciated.

Toshi

P.S.  When will you start Lou Lumas' in 1/48?  I'm excited to see this!

Bish

Heres wishing you all the best from across the water Toshi. Sounds like your in good hands with the Mrs, deffo a keeper.

My better half was working Sat and Sun, so i spent the best part of the weekend at the bench watching all 8 Star Wars movies. Don't get much better than that

And would to love to have that big Mossie in the RAF GB if you want to join us.

 

I dated Mrs. Toshi for 3 months and asked her if she wanted to move in an apartment with me.  She said sure, as long as you pay all the bills!  LOL!  I told her no problem as I was playing my trumpet with various bands six days a week and sometimes seven days a week.  We were really young and just went for it!  I was making great money traveling with bands and Mrs. Toshi was a waitress at a local restaurant that was popular so she brought in great cash tips!  I also worked as a waiter there and that's how I met Mrs. Toshi!

That's awesome in that you got to watch all eight Star Wars Movies!  I've only seen the six series of Star Wars and never got around to watching the seventh and eight.  The reason for this is that for my birthday, my daughter purchased for me the Limited Edition Six Blue Ray Disc with five extra behind the scenes blue ray discs.  I'll probably wait for some type of bundled Star Wars set for the seven, eight, etc.

Yes, I would love to be a part of your RAF GB.  I'm most honored and humbled in that you asked me to join.  Just please remember, my builds are not up to forum members standards, but I'll do my best.  It will be a OOB build.  The aircraft I'd like to enter with your permission (If you could put me down) is the Tamiya 1/32 DeHavilland Mosquito.  Thank you so much for asking me into the RAF GB.

Looking forward to seeing your Mossie. I did Airfix's huge 1/24 Mosquito a few years back, and I have Tamiya's 1/48 Mark VI in my stash. I am hoping Tamiya will do a Mark IV of their 1/32 kit as I would like to hang a glass-nosed bomber version next to the fighter-bomber version.

Your movie choices for Easter were a bit curious but at least you picked the scariest and best monster movie that has ever been made (Alien). I hope you enjoyed watching those. And did you know the director of the original movie has made a new one called Alien Covenant, coming out next month?

Wishing you well as you deal with health.

 

 

 

 

I too am looking forward to the Mossie build.  Wow, a 1/24 Mosquito.  That sounds very cool!  I didn't know you had the Tamiya 1/48 Mark VI, that will turn out just great.  

 

I wanted to watch for Easter, the Ten Comandments with Charleston Heston.  You know, I once cooked for him at Rancho Las Palmas Marriott in Palm Springs California for him.  I went out to the dinning room to ask if everything was satisfactory to him.  He said; "Chef, that was the greatest meal I'd ever had".  I told him how I was a big fan of his growing up and thanked him.  We shook hands and I left.  I thought that was so cool!

As for the Alien Marathon, I just turned the TV on and there it is, Alien movies!  Unfortunately for me, after Aliens, Mrs. Toshi got sick and tired of watching all that gore so she changed the channel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory with Gene Wilder.  There was a marathon on that.  Then all of a sudden, my kids decided to come over, so Easter turned out just great!  

How was your Easter?  I'll be looking forward to Alien Covenant, thanks for the heads up.  But most importantly, I'm very honored that you follow my WIP.  It means very much to me!  Thank you so much especially for the support!  If a workday worksheet 

Toshi

 

 

 

Llll 

Willy Wonka is a better movie than those last two Alien movies (I rank Alien as one of the best 5 ever made but the third and fourth were really disappointing), so that was a great choice also.

 

Our Easter was good time spent with my in-laws, although we seemed to spend too much time on taxes as my wife is a tax accountant and this time of year is really busy for her. Thank you for asking.

 

My best wishes for a speedy recovery! Hope see you soon working on this beast!

Toshi,

 

Wondered why I hadn't seen anything recently.  Sounds like you've got something to keep busy though.  My problem is still the same:  Keep adding to the stash but little time to build.

I owe you a coffee.  Let me know when you're up to it!

If you are free, any weekend would be fine!  Just let me know!

Toshi-  Bish's GB started on April 1st and runs for a year.  Just let him know, I'm sure he would love to have you join the fun.  I think I'm the only Mossie in it right now, and I know you would be the 1st 1/32 one.  Listed under RAF 100th anniversary GB

Toshi,

Can't wait to see what you do with the new Mosquito, I will definitely be following along. 

My thoughts and prayers to you and yopur family.  You are truly an inspiration with your passion and strength.  I have enjoyed reading about your past WIP's and look forward to many more!

 

 

 

 

ExtremeTeam said it prefectly. You very are much an inspiration to use Toshi! Looking forward to the build, should be awesome!!

Hi Toshi,

I hope you had an enjoyable Easter with Mrs. Toshi.

My wife had an unexpected seizure and it was a life changer.  After months of testing, scanning, and draining of savings since insurance wouldn't cover " experimental diagnosis", they find it was due to an allergic reaction to predizone she was given for a skin rash.  They wouldn't allow her to drive, work, or even use the bathroom alone. I pray you get through this.  The mosquito should help.

Scott

 

I'm so sorry to hear about Mrs. scottrc.  Is she better now?  My son takes Predizone for his Asthma.  Yes, I agree in that the Mosquito build should help.  Thank you sir for always supporting my builds.  I greatly appreciate it.  It means very much to me!

Looking forward to the Mosquito!!

Your very kind words touches my heart, thank you so much!  I sir, get my inspiration from you and forum members.  That's what drives me forward, and I thank you for that!  I'm most humbled that you have gone to my past WIP.  There are so many greater builders here.  I just try to keep up with everyone.
