Tamiya Plamodel Factory
Another post on a cool hangout place I discovered in Tressa Yokohama. Tamiya Plamodel Factory. This place is beyond cool. It has a shop where you can find everything Tamiya. Models, tools, paints, you name it, they’ve got it. But that’s not the cool part. Right next to the store, there is an atelier zone. Atelier zone… yummy. For those who can’t wait, you can start building your model straightaway after paying for it. And that’s not all, there’s a master around who can give you tips on modeling. And that’s not all! They have air brush booths in that zone. Paint and air brushes are BYO (bring your own) or BFTS (buy from the shop) ^^. There’s even a small corner with some lighting setup for you to take photos of your completed models. Isn’t that cool or what!!? Alas! It’s not free. They recently opened so there’s a discount on using the studio. But it’s not that bad. On a weekday, spending 30 minutes there will set you back ¥400; 4 hours for ¥2800. On weekends it’s slighty more. There’s also a membership system. If you’re a member, you’ll get a slightly cheaper rate. Unless you have a spare room at home, spending time there means no more modeling mess to come home to ^^. Should have taken some photos of the actual store, but next time I guess. The next time I get there, I’ll be there for a few hours ^^. Decisions, decisions. I gotta go alone or else I have to find something in Tressa for the other half to do during those long hours…
