These models are full of details and are well engineered.

Make sure you know what comes next and watch your assembly sequences during the assembly of your subassemblies.

Three Very Unique and Diverse Plastic Models

Yes, I will admit that these three plastic models are unique and perhaps a bit weird. Nonetheless, the odder they are the more desirable they are to me. I shouldn’t get my salivary glands worked up, because I have yet to located a supplier and or a reasonable price product.

1. 1:12-Scale Japanese Squat Toilet Plastic Model Kit:
A complete squat toilet in 1:12 scale. You have to bring your own dirt and grime. The castings have a porcelain finish that looks realistic. The finished model/diorama makes for a very realistic adaptation of a Japanese loo.

2. 1:1-Scale Cup Noodle, Including the Ramen and Toppings:
This 1:1 scale model is a unique representation of “life” sized cup of noodles. Did you realize that there are more noodles on top than the bottom? There is a lift out front panel that allows you to see contents of the cup and there are additions for the top.

3. 1:1-Scale Sushi Model:
This kit includes 366 pieces, which makes sense considering that at the base of most Sushi consists of a mound of rice.

Bandai Starblazer Model

This is one of Bandai’s Star Blazer #2206, a Karakrum Class Combatant Ship. Although I did use plastic model glue this model could have simply been snapped together. The instructions are in Japanese, however using the included instructions printed on the inside the box the model fit together nicely.

The models 21 parts are connected to X number of sprue and are molded in olive green polystyrene.

Since I was planning on using glue to add to the overall strength of the model, I was extra careful to make sure that I had the correct part in hand. There were a couple of times when I had to study the exploded illustrations and the box art to ensure that I did have the correct part.

My motto for this year is get something done and after seven months I really do not have too much to show for it. I have another Bandai model on my workbench that needs some finishing touches, a HO scale smoke house that is waiting on a few small details to be painted and placed, and lastly I have a HO scale outhouse that needs to be laid out and completed.
