To be fair, that's two pics on either side of the same case. There were plenty of Tamiya kits I could think of that weren't there... But still... :eek:

Thanks for that Jay, some serious picture posting going on there!
Shame you can't take pictures though!:p

Not sure about some of the models they were building! Rally 350Z?:rolleyes:

Nice event though! Wish we had something like that round here!

:right:

I really liked the rally 350Z. It was done really well.

The guy who did the PreviaGT-One said he was working to finish it the night before! :lol2:

I'll go ½'s with you...

You and I can buy one each of exactly half of Tamiyas model kit stock, then spend the next 200 years building them to the same standard as those on display at TamiyaCon.

In (ooh, I dunno) 2202 we can fill your garage (coz *I* don't have one) with the models using planks of wood and cling film to make display cabinets, then charge admission to see them...

No?

I didn't think so, but I had fun putting the plan together...

Regards
Mark
