I hope it was RealG, especially since I just mentioned the Cup Noodle kit to him less that 24 hrs ago in another thread. But with my memory, who knows…
According to my late mother, they are proper sushi, since the fish is bigger than the rice. Here in Hawaii, it’s usually the other way around.
Greg, I am innocent of introducing the Cup Noodle to the forum, but no worries. My friends call it “Cross Contamination”, kind of like kindergarteners spreading cooties. [:O]
It was John (Keavdog, actually his wife). In my defense, you added a lot to the thread and you and I bantered back and forth a bit, so I’m not 100% nuts. Maybe. Sort of.
There used to be a kitmaker that offered a line of 1:1 pistols. Forget the mfg. I learned to do weathered metal finishes from those kits. I used washes of pencil graphite and reddish brown. Now, we have suppliers of nice weathering materials.
The Japanese company LS is the one I remember best. I built almost all their German guns at one time or another…though, oddly, I could never find the Japanese Nambu, which one might have thought would be a ‘hometown’ favorite.
I still have two of their Walther P.38s…one regular, one the extended-barrel ‘spy’ version…which I intend someday to modify/build as the “U.N.C.L.E. ‘Special’” from the 60s TV series. Nostalgia rules!
I wonder if there will be a Eduard “Rice-In” resin rice replacement set? And those slices of fish look a little thin, so we look to the aftermarket once again. Maybe Quinta Studio will offer a “Omakase” 3-D printed sushi upgrade set with tuna, salmon, shrimp, squid, sea urchin, egg, and natto.
Natto - bleah. Sea urchin - double bleah. Remember the scene in “Despicable Me 2”, where the Minions are sampling Gru’s jelly? One of them takes a swig and goes URP!, then passes it on to the next guy while vigorously nodding to insinuate that it’s good? That was my reaction to sea urchin.
And then there is mirugai. I think the English word for it is geoduck, an unfortunate clam with a small shell and a body the size of a human forearm. And they even have stuff like deer - I dubbed it “sashi meat”. Tasted like, well, raw meat.
There are also sushi toys with pullback motors in them for reasons unknown. Sushi to-go? The Japanese are really wacky, but that is why I just love it. See, and that is why I don’t need to build 1/48 P-51Ds. [:)]
Well at the rate I’m going… I keep saying ‘this will be the last GB’ and but there seems to be interest for one more. So I suppose I’ll keep 'em going as long as I can see the monitor and type. Maybe by then they’ll be able to just plug the internet into my brain and I can keep posting that way.
And I noticed the young lady in the video didn’t clean up any of her seam lines. BAH!!! Rookie!!! [:P]
I would like to see a shrimp version. I really like those!!!
The geoduck I’ll pass on. I can’t pronounce it, I want to say ‘geo-duck’ but it’s ‘ge-o-dic’ or something like it. Plus it looks like a giant ummm… well it’s something boys have and girls don’t…
I was laughing so hard my sides hurt. I got some of the Japanese and she’s funny with her side remarks. What I could understand! If anyone builds this then they should NEVER complain about individual track links again-For Sure!
But, you do know that Artificial Food is a big Advertising point in that Country. Many shop and restaurant windows are graced with Models of the perfect meal or snack!
