Back to Tokyo for day 6 and off to Project144, which is like the biggest 1/144 scale event in the world and possibly the only one devoted to the scale.
Lucky i happened to be in Tokyo at the right time for this great event, wish i could have stayed longer.
Got to meet Koz who invited me along to the the project which was a pleasure and so many other 1/144 scale modeller who blogs i follow, all very kind fellows. Made me double my effort with my Japanese, thought i was quite good until i actually tried to engage in real conversations and not knowing enough vocab, got quite good at buying and understanding number when i was there.
Going to try and link to each modeller i can, i you know any i don't please leave a link if possible.

I walked from my hotel Washingtion Akihabara to the Project 144, on the way i saw my first itasha,
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha style, saw quite a few Miku Hatsune too.
Was a great event and i even got a freebie from Matuo-kasten which was incredibly kind. Surprised that a few of the modellers knew my work and most knew Bluedonkey
Wonder if such a thing would be possible in the UK?

I think it was a dream come true since you are into 144 scale modelling.
Thats a great way of expressing whta i felt Leon and being in Japan also added to the effect.
man, those are lovely works, each and every one of them !!! the mini-dioramas are like little pieces of life... but i must say that the B-52 bomber plane is the most awesome =O... by the way, i don’t know anything about Bluedonkey, but i know your work and is precise and really nice =)
Cheers chris, after visiting ive really want to make some diorama myself.
Bluedonkey has runs the Kampfgruppe144 blog and forum, too guy.
I do not speak English, but communication did not get much, I was glad to meet you there.
You fell in love work for?
I I like Buccaneer.
Buccaneer is produced by Uekisyokunin.
"Uekisyokunin = (Gardener)" He does not have a blog.
I want to look at the next opportunity can work for Ant Sized Man.
A similar exhibition in the UK Project 144, we expect you to be held.
Then now is, and I struggle to go to England.
So.
Hide G is the image that says, it is the work of Uekisyokunin.

Yo Koz, was great meeting you to, since coming back from Japan ive signed up for Nihongo lesson again.
Would be great to get a 1/144 event in Europe, if not UK i'd expect one to be held in Czech, some great 1/144 modellers there.
Uekisyokunin was one of the few thre i did'nt know, all who have a blog i follow.

In my blog, I presented a report on the P144 in your blog.
Then, the Uekisyokunin "say thank you posted a picture to your blog" that was the comment.
It is located in the Czech manufacturer is eduard.
eduard launched the MiG-21 has heard that a very good kit.
In Japan, still can not buy. . .
BANDAI and eduard should be holding an 1/144 event in Europe, I think!
