My fifth time participating. My third year in a row. This is habit forming!!
Last weekend (May 11 and 12) was the modeling club group exhibition at Shizuoka Hobby Show, the largest hobby show in Japan. Why Shizuoka, and not Tokyo? Well, over 85% of the Japanese models kit produced are done so in Shizuoka, hence the town’s catch phrase “Shizouka, a model town”. Once again I was with the VF-1 Riders, and here’s what we did.

Now, our “cousin” group (we share several of the same members), Project VF-M, did have a definite Zentradi theme going on. Plus, they did a Walkure send-off tribute.
Hope to see you there in 2025!!
