It's definitely worth mentioning that these model club displays are there just for the public to see. There is no judging for contests like IPMS, GWC, etc. No people trying to sell their finished models. They are there for the camaraderie and the fun of sharing their hobby, so the atmosphere is great. And it's great seeing some of the models evolve over the years. That Nausicaa corvette model was displayed as a block of wood 15 years ago.
Hey Ellie, ya I totally agree. The modelers section is by far the best part of the Shizo hobby show. Thank you so much for the tour and your insightful voiceover narration. This is a great video (on my second viewing) I’d love to see more… maybe a part 2 ? lol 😂 either way keep up the great work. You’re live’n the dream ! -jw
Damn I’m so jealous that you get to attend events like this! The best I get is a yearly model show where I 1v1 the same fella every year in the Gundam category!😂
There are lots of great model shows in the US too, but you definitely have to travel and they are kind of hard to find and not marketed very well! I'd recommend checking out some IPMS events or maybe even small exhibitions at anime cons! I know the feeling of being at a tiny show though!
The amount of talent and dedication for all those builds/art pieces is just mind-blowing. Truly a labor of love. I find it motivating looking at other modeler’s work and seeing what is possible. Thank you for sharing your trip. Really enjoyed the video!
Great video showcasing a lot of fine works. I like the cell shading best. And the snake on the chassis of the boxing tigers vehicle was painted along the fuselage of a German Stuka flown in the second world war. I'm building that plane now. 🙂
Wow ,This was Amazing ,. I never knew this part of Shizuoka Existed . I was rally liking The Red Building Diorama from Spirited Away ,so much detail. I curious about these Modeler's, were they Invited or selected to show their works or can anybody show at Shizuoka ? Every Build was Superb Craftsmanship.
yes that building was crazy impressive!!! I think anyone can sign up to show their work! It was a lot of small modelers clubs that had their own tables.
Hey Franco, the private exhibition hall is only open during the days that are open to the public. These are all individual and group exhibitors. I'm not sure how they apply for tables to set up their works, but I imagine it's through the website. The nice thing is that there is NO competition in this exhibition. It's all just a celebration of the hobby. No manbabies stamping about in temper tantrums because they failed to get a prize. The level of unique inspiration and innovation on display at the Shizz show far surpasses any IPMS show in America, with rows and rows of models painted exactly as they are supposed to be painted. The only event that comes close to this level of creativity is the Wonder Fest in Kentucky, which was just last weekend, I think.
@@franco3584 Yes, I used to cover the Shizuoka Hobby Show each year up until I started working for Aoshima. From 2012-2015. Maybe it was before you started watching my channel.
Thanks for sharing! Would love to visit this show sometime in the future. The robots at the 20 min mark are rom the manufacturer Imai and they are called Robodatchi. Sadly the manufacturer is gone, but I don’t know if someone else picked up the molds. It was a huge series and featured a lot of kits. The design is by an illustrator of comics.
One of those big Macross artillery models is a papercraft. I believe it is a 1/100 scale. I downloaded the file and built one myself a long time ago. I'm pretty sure the one in this video (the big one on the left) is the same one I made. Still have it now, but being made of cardstock and glue and going through two moves means that it isn't in the best shape anymore.
@@pixxellie i don't know if both of them are papercraft, but the one on the left definitely is. There were a few old models of it (mk ii monster) but I think they were much smaller scale. There was also a bandai hi metal figure from a maybe 15 years ago, but I'm also not sure of the scale. In either case, they are super expensive so papercraft is the best choice unless you want to spend a ton of money.
Nope, they were both 1/72 scale. The greenish one was papercraft, the brownish one was full 3D printed scratch built. I participated with that group (VF-1 Riders).
@@jefuemon5552 Fair enough. But I'm pretty sure that papercraft is based off the same design I used. The details look exactly the same. Since it's an image file, I assume it should be fairly easy to scale up. But a 1/72 Monster would be truly massive. My 1/100 is already hogging up a ton of shelf space.
Thanks for sharing! I used to cover the Shizuoka Hobby Show every year on my channel when I used to live in Shizuoka Prefecture. The last time I was there was when I worked at the event. For the second day of the event, we all had hangovers. The business days were fun because I was able to meet many high-profile modelers. For the last two days of the event, I was stuck babysitting a Lamborghini at the Aoshima booth. It was so boring and my feet were killing me. Did you talk with the guys at the Beaver booth? Brian there is a friend of mine and he's always great to talk with.
Thanks for watching! That’s so cool that you got to work there! I was hoping to meet Max Watanabe and try to take a picture with him but I didn’t see him at the goodsmile booth 😭 I didn’t speak to anyone at the show unfortunately, my Japanese is only intermediate level.
@@pixxellie I got to meet Max Watanabe the first year I attended the Shizuoka show. I had both him and Tomoe Ogoshi sign an old how-to build Gunpla book I bought they made together.
It aways amazes me how there are so many talented people out there. Amazing kits all around. I don't know if you noticed, but the blue Dunbine kit, with the watercolour art, is replicating the box design. If you look at the box right next to it, you can see it's the same pose and art.
Yup, that demon figure named the corrupted tenjin. It's a 3d printed figure from blackforge. unfortunately, i can't meet you there to explain it 😢. But thank you for the video. 😊😊

yes definitely! It's all about sharing the love of the hobby and thats whats so great about it!
Mentally juggling between the beauty of the pieces and the amount of work builders must have put in.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for watching! Yeah some of them definitely must have required a crazy amount of work.
That Spirited Away diorama was incredible!! Thank you for showing all of this off.
I know right? so amazing.
3:23 Maxter doing the Ashita no Joe death pose. That shit goes hard 🤣
yes it's sooo awesome.

Thank you!!! Unfortunately I dont have enough footage for a part 3 but I will be going to more hobby shows in the future for sure!
the sitting at the corner of the boxing ring, is the famous scene from Ashita no Joe. love those Future boy Conan at 9.03
There was so much cool stuff in this! I'm going to have to watch it twice 😸
I've watched it like 20 times so I understand! thanks for watching! ☺
23:46 I'm glad you liked my RX-78!!!
it's really impressive! one of my favs!
@pixxellie it means a lot to me. Thank you.

That sounds like a Gundam rivalry if I ever saw one.
WOW! I had no Idea Shizuoka even had an artists alley!
yeah and it was HUGE!

ty!! the cel shading is def awesome! good luck with the build!
ive been here last year...i miss shizuoka❤
Shizuoka is a great city!
Thanks for posting this BTW.
my pleasure!! thank you for watching!
I’m an og zeon fan so I LOVE the-o and specially the heavily modified Kondo style ones! Also that nightingale looks amazing!!😱
Right!? Those are some of my fav suits and it was super cool to see such heavily modified versions!
Great video! those two sitting in the ring are both a reference to Ashita no joe.
oh good catch!!!
Those cel shaded Gundams are GORGEOUS! The painting is so precise that it took me a moment to realize that they weren't paper cutouts.
yeah they look really really nice! it's hard to believe but they looked even better in person.

great video! amazing stuff from these artists! i always feel inspired seeing other people's builds even if all i can do is snap build haha
Thank you! I agree it’s always so inspiring! Glad you got something out of the video
oh man, thanks for this video! Such a treat.
glad you enjoyed!!
16:38 my gundam is just out of frame on the left huhuhu. Thanks for the video. The tenjin was painted by my friend/mentor. Thanks for the shoutout
ah im sorry I didnt include it! there was so much amazing stuff at the show I failed to capture it all!
@@pixxellie it's okay. I understand. I was overwhelmed too. Love your video. (Besides, my card was in the shot). Cheers and great work

Yes as in awesome! lol my 00’s slang
Inspiring.

@pixxellie btw.. I painted that.
Thanks for the video! This was great.
It was my first time there and now I want to go every year.
Same! It was my first year too and I would love to go back next year!
@pixxellie you did a good job with the coverage. Glad you went.
Awesome video!
Thank you
That cell shaded Mk II thooooooooooooooooooooooo
Right?!
19:37 looks like one of the final weapons from Ideon
oh cool I wasnt sure!
Yooo that Leviathan Trial diorama from FFXIV 18:08
oh I didnt even realize it was from FFXIV!
I watched the whole thing. The Ghibli dios were the best.
thank you for watching!! those Ghibli dioramas were really something special!
Ahhh too much raw talent.
I can't handle it. 😅
P.S. 05:10 looks more like 40k titan than a gundam. But still awesome.
The skill level at this years show was INSANE, and I didn’t even cover everything the room was too big!
I wish we got a 1/100 hg grade bolt gundam kit
oh that would be awesome!
it is sad that Sand Land is Akira Toriyama's final work that was still in development when he passed away.
It is! RIP to one of the greatest of all time ❤️
