[kaz6120]

Hi pF friends,

I took part in "Shizuoka Hobby Show 2012 Modeller's Exhibition", the biggest hobby show in Japan.
On behalf of planetFigure members, I put plantetFigure ad and some of my works. I'm glad to met the well-known painter, MJ Kim from Korea, and see his work on his book which has just released this April.

This is my booth.

MJ's booth.

Here's other modeller's works.

How does one get all the models from Okinawa and Korea to Shizuoka in one piece?

I don't know how MJ transported his figure 'cause I didn't asked him about it, but I think it was easy for him because he displayed only one 54mm figure.

I had to fly from Okinawa (w/ 2 transitions) to Shizuoka so I made boxes to protect figures and busts and put them in one suitcase. Here's photos:
