                        then i'd charter the biggest jet & take everyone w/ me to Tamiya-land (or should i say Hasegawa-land, since the big T doesn't do 1/72 armor !)
                        well, i can still hope that one day i'll build that really excellent model & go on the "Gino Plan".... Wink [;)] (hey, did u see the m32 i've got going in the Sherman GB ?)
                        sorry 2 ramble on Sign - Off Topic!! [#offtopic], guess i've missed talking with u, ootoko !

                        Watch out now for Japan (no offense to any one) They have some pretty weird holidays. When me my pop, and my brother where in Japan this summer, we were taking a train ride which happened to go through Shizouka, Tamiya HQ. I told my dad and we got off, but it was closed for Sports Day Banged Head [banghead]Censored [censored]. At least we went to Rainbow Ten across the street from HQTongue [:P]

                        Thanks all. I am still not over the shock of winning this great prize. I definitely will give an update once back from Japan, hopefully with photos from Tamiya factory.

                        Amazing work, that is a well deserved reward! I think we all want to hear about the trip to Japan, take as many photos as you can to share with us. Congratulations!
