Badoni MKII Narrow Gauge Version - H0e kit

This locomotive, built by Badoni company (Lecco-Italy) in standard gauge, was later converted to operate yard trains on narrow gauge railway lines.

The kit is in H0e-9mm gauge, made by 3D printed ABS-like resin to ensure greater resistance. The motorization comes from the range Narrow Garage.

The kit is simple and it’s very easy to assemble.

Achtung! Leichter Panzer Draisine Zgauge (1/220)

During WW2, the Germans developed a wide range of railway equipment for military use. Among these were the Panzer Draisine!

This is the first prototype, in scale Z (1/220). It's not the final version... I will probably change some too fragile details! 

In the future the version equipped with a PZIII turret will also be designed.

What do you think?

Lemon Gasui, the perfect art equipment shop

Another shop that modeller cannot miss is Lemon Gasui!

The shop is very close to Ochanomizu station (Chūō-Sōbu Line, JR East) , an area also famous for musical instrument shops.

Inside you can find everything for the fine arts (everything !!), materials for creating dioramas, structures, scenarios, etc ... the section of profiles / sheets in wood, metal and plastic is the best I have ever seen!

It's worth taking a look at it.

 

Leonardo LG -photo report from one of my favorite Tokyo model shops!!

Here are some photos of the military model shop I visited a few days ago in Akihabara: Leonardo LG.

The shop is extraordinary, it contains all second hand (but new!!) kits: tanks, ships, planes of all scales. These also include very old and rare kits, a large assortment of upgrade kits and 1/35 and 1/72 figures. Interesting is the large part dedicated to sector publications and magazines: obviously all second-hand.

Address and link:

Leonardo LG main store

3-3-4 Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo JTT Building 1st floor

Obviously the bag kit and junk kit could not be missing!

You can find complete kits without a box at ridiculous prices or the complete sprues of a turret of a Dragon kit... depends on your luck!

 See you in the next episode!
