sparks Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 There are no subtitles and I don't speak Japanese, but I've just learnt so much from watching this video! The first half shows how to build, modify, paint and weather a commercial plastic kit of an Enoden 100 series railcar. The second half (from 25:00 on) then shows how to build a diorama/micro layout for it to run on based on a real location. Grab a beverage of your choice, sit back and enjoy...

Saddletank Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Funnily enough I've been thinking about something similar following a trip to Japan last month, got some lovely wee Sankei N gauge laser cut card buildings which are astonishingly finely detailed (in a different league to Metcalfes offerings in either OO or N. They take their model railways very seriously over there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennofootscray Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I have that kit sitting in my cupboard, waiting to get built on a Bachmann mechanism then fitted with DCC and lights. https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennofootscray/11785024475/in/photostream/ Just for something different on Victoria Street.

CKPR Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 What superb model-making and what a lovely programme, even though I don't understand a word of Japanese. I'm on the look out for some of that Tamiya 'panel line marker' and what are those marker pen paints he uses ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Holmes Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I couldn't understand a word but that was truly inspiring. It makes me want to get on and work on my "view from the end" SLT. The gentleman with the glasses would appear to be the Japanese equivalent of Bob Symes. He even has that same delicate burr in his voice. Thanks so much for sharing that one.

Tel2010 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi Sparks Has you seen some of his other videos ? .There's a four part one where he has done a box layout in a old tv.He has used different scales to give a great perspective and depth to quite a small space.I found on youtube after searching further,you may have seen them but if anyone hasn't, here are the links http://youtu.be/8eUhmoqJZhI http://youtu.be/uj45Pc24Szg http://youtu.be/JxTNpL_U1us http://youtu.be/TNjBOI_oNss Edit credit to OP sparks for bringing these to my attention Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 No I hadn't! I came across it researching my holiday and there didn't appear to be any other railway ones in the sidebar. I shall investigate.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeTrainsTom Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Those layouts look great when it all comes together. I wonder if I will ever achieve detail and character like that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the look out for some of that Tamiya 'panel line marker' and what are those marker pen paints he uses ? Hi Ive looked to,the panel line markers seem only to be available from japan and us,though could be wrong.Must be ink like as ive used ink on panel lines before.The pens appear to be these , "Uni Posca markers use water-based pigment ink to produce poster-like vibrant colours. Writes on metal, glass, plastic, stone, etc. - virtually any surface. The ink will not bleed through paper, unlike alcohol-based markers. Opaque colour - allow to dry after application and new ink will completely cover the previous colour." You can buy single pens as well as various sets,which are expensive.Search for Posca on ebay or amazon.Art shops may sell them,these where only places ive looked up quickly,because i very curious aswell.

Night Train Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 That layout in a "TV" is quite stunning for detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockershovel Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Somehow the idea that the Japanese go in for bonsai model railways doesn't surprise me at all. I had a Japanese colleague at one time who produced a beautifully detailed model F1 car over a period of about 3 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
