Have a good trip, Ray, I've always wanted to visit Japan (still trying to work a way to get my work to send me there on business!).

Thanks for the comment on the Tamiya figures thread. Should have something posted up here by the time you're back.

Well they let me back in the country everyone, the 10 days flew by, what a fantastic country and the Japanese are so welcoming, it was a trip never to be forgotten and all for the right reasons.

So I stashed myself out with all the paints,cements fillers and other hard to source goodies while I was over there, also grabbed as much Eduard photo etch kits as I could lay my hands on.

Kit wise I didn't get to much just some Lionroar kits and detail sets (for future build blogs).Price wise there where bargains to be had if you bought enough, but some stuff was cheaper than here and some stuff on par with over here, but you got great discount if you bought enough stuff from the same store.

If you are thinking about a Japan visit, then just do it, its a brilliant place to go and visit, and the model shops are rammed with all sorts of goodies, you will be like a kid in a sweet shop.

So now its time to catch up on what you guys have been doing and I look forward to reading your threads.

Well its good to be back in the best forum going.:smile:

Welcome home Ray, good to see you back safe and sound. Been watching the news for stories on a chap who looks not unlike Rommel trying to smuggle plastic into the country. Good to see ya got away with it ;-)

Alright there

I recently spent two months in Japan and must have spent, well, i really lost count. They have everything there in Japan for the modeller. I even bought a back of model tree branches for future dioramas.

I managed to get a load of stuff through in my luggage but due to the sheer quantity of stuff purchased, i just sent it back via Fed-Ex. Arrived to my place 10 days later in one piece.

Have a great trip to Japan. It's a wonderful place and remarkably clean. Good civilised people too.
