Good day today...
I receive 2 tatebankos from Japan.
A friend of went to Japan for some hollydays, and I asked her to buy 2 tatebankos on Toy toraya because this internet site does'nt sale outside of Japan.

This are the very first pictures. And of course, I will show the build and the result !
Just wait and see...

Fantastic, Pat!! Can you tell anything about what the subject matter is for these? Can someone who reads Kanji characters decipher it? My colleague Tony Cole has written a report on building these - I will send it to you. Cheers, Rob Tauxe

For the first step, I have scanned the sheets. For 2 reasons :

•*First, I don't want to loose the tatebanko by accident. So I will have a copy of them.
Some models on Toy toraya seems to be out of stock, and there is no certitude they reprint them again. So, may be, those sheets are precious...

• Second, I will build them in a smaller scale, more easy to manipulate and to... stow.

There are no many indications to build them... as usual for tatebankos ! So if you have notes about them papermodelfan, they are welcome !

I try to translate the japanese text with google, but the result is... a sort of surrealistic poem ! Nice, but not useful at all.

I will try to have a better translation with japanese people I will met soon.
