Wonder Festival 2009 Summer Report



Falke Banner


Yes, the after-party a.k.a Uchiage-party (literally shoot-up party) a.k.a Off-Kai (offline-meeting). I had the immense honor to sit next to Kokubun-san, the very person in charge of the Ma.K line at Hasegawa.

I still have to work on the videos (so remember to check back), but without further due, please enjoy the party pics!

That's Mistaah NeecH-Travis-MonkeY behind a gorgeous Falke diorama, unfortunately out of focus.
Thanks Linc for holding it, though.
(Blame Mr. NeecH for stealing my camera's attention!)

WF Pic
The mysterious Blechmann MK.41!

WF Pic
Some of the many, many Raptors at the party!

WF Pic
A Kauz and another MK.41 with a Melusine-like jungle camo!
Very clever!

WF Pic
Another (or the same) Raptor, a Falke pilot, a Luna Pawn and 1/48 Nixe and Melusine seen at the WF.

WF Pic
A close-up of the latter suits. The details are gorgeous!

WF Pic
A very cool (or should that be cold) Koenigs Kroete in winter scheme!

WF Pic
A bunch of very nicely-done models!

WF Pic
A lil' SAFS and the superb female figure by Brickworks, now a classic (and classy!).

WF Pic
Them again!

WF Pic
Owing to the gimmicks in the WAVE-release Raptor, many split suits were to be expected, the question being, what to put inside.
Well, here are some suggestions!

WF Pic
Er... say cheese... maybe... ?

WF Pic
AFS MK. I and MK. II, a reminder of how it all began!

WF Pic
More Raptors!
The pilot is actually a patchwork of figures included in the TOMY/WAVE 1/20 Zoids Panzer Tier series!
Well done!

WF Pic
I think I saw this guy last time!
How have you been?

WF Pic
Too bad the picture is washed out.
This is a very cool diorama!

WF Pic
A tooth-pick container!
Now, who wants a SAFS salt shaker?

WF Pic
The Off-Kai is one of these opportunities for fans to show their own work to Yokoyama-sensei...

WF Pic
... who will tirelessly comment on the models and give advices.

WF Pic
But a true fan is aware that Yokoyama-sensei loves aircraft models, and here is a proof that he indeed does!

Alright folks, this wraps up the coverage, but not without thanking all the dealers, the visitors and the organizers!
I am looking forward to the next event!
Till then, we have to keep up with making more of these unique models!

Too much food and too many models, I am done!
Where was I before?
