    I am a full-on Otaku: obssessive for Japanese general culture, especially Anime, videogames and eventually Japanese coaches and trains, mainly the Shinkansen.
    I definitely disconnected from the rest of the world in what concerns buses and coaches, including in my place, where I now look to a coach that used to be spectacular in a different way; basically I now look at them like 'ordinary' coaches, with not much interest.
    This is due to a phase I am passig right now, a change of pace I decided to adopt (in order to move forward and change for better, sometimes we must leave many things we used to like behind).
    Other interests beyond this are scale modeling and - sometimes - going to disco and playing football.
    Three of my everlasting dreams is to go live in Japan like a real full-on otaku, buy my favorite car and "moe-fy" it into a good itasha and even more difficult, the people to stop being apathetic to all the world's curses and do something to reverse it!!
    My biggest source of inspiration for my whole life - including my work, my hobby and my family and friends relationships - is my favorite character, Kashiwazaki Sena from the 「I Don't Have Many Friends/僕は友達が少ない」 Anime.

  1. Well, that's not my page, I just linked it on that thread as-is. Everything else is you guys' knowledge kicking in. I guess all OC Transpo buses we could imagine of was already made and uploaded on the Paperbus Thread anyway, so it wouldn't be useful to make any more models, I guess.
  2. Any idea if sales have started, or if there are operators which placed orders? Kinda interested how these would turn out with more 'familiar' colors...
  3. Here is an update of my list of to-do's. IJN SHIMAKAZE* - On the way - SUSPENDED VIKING OCTANTIS/POLARIS** - POSTPONED OCEAN EXPLORER** - POSTPONED IJN SENDAI* - POSTPONED IJN TONE* - POSTPONED IJN MOGAMI (FLOATPLANE CARRIER)* - POSTPONED NEW SUZURAN/KRITI I*** - POSTPONED NEW YUKARI/KRITI II*** - POSTPONED NCL DREAM/DREAMWARD** - POSTPONED NCL WIND/WINDWARD** - POSTPONED IJN YAMATO* - COMPLETE IJN SUZUTSUKI* - COMPLETE IJN HAMAKAZE* - Underway - in 3D development stage IJN ISOKAZE* - Underway - in 3D development stage IJN YUKIKAZE* - Underway - in 3D development stage IJN ASASHIMO* - Underway - in 3D development stage - on par with the other three Kagero class ships IJN HATSUSHIMO* - Priority IJN KASUMI* - Priority * WARSHIP ** CRUISE SHIP *** FERRYBOAT
  4. To tell I spent the last three weeks shut in my house doesn't do any justice. In order to develop and build this monster without losing momentum or courage, I had to submerge myself into the power of the best drums in the World - the large sized Japanese Taiko drums - and the history behind the conception, construction, life and death of what was the largest, heaviest, the most well armored and the most powerfully armed battleship ever put to sea: the SUPER BATTLESHIP YAMATO! To continue on the completion of all ten ships of the legendary last sortie of the Japan Imperial Navy, Operation Ten-Ichi-Go, I am still developing the remaining six destroyers - Hamakaze, Isokaze, Yukikaze, Kasumi, Hatsushimo and Asashimo - but already the hardest one - the battleship - is finished, along with the cruiser Yahagi and the destroyers Suzutsuki and Fuyutsuki.
  5. Precisely. By the end of WWII, the Japanese political system passed from a totalitarian imperial rule to what is still today a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy, so there is still an imperial family (led by Emperor Naruhito), but their power is limited to a ceremonial role, or 'country's image projection' role if you wish. The power to entirely control the country falls to the prime Minister, today Mr Kishida Fumio, of the Liberal Democratic Party, just like his predecessor, Mr Abe Shinzo. Will not go any further into politics than this, since it is forbidden to do so outside the respective topic. I will be starting unfolding process of battleship「Yamato」in a matter of half an hour.
  6. Here is the current, fully comprehensive list of to-do's. IJN SHIMAKAZE* - On the way - SUSPENDED USS SOUTH DAKOTA* - CANCELLED USS ALLEN M. SUMNER* - CANCELLED VIKING OCTANTIS/POLARIS** - POSTPONED OCEAN EXPLORER** - POSTPONED IJN SENDAI* - POSTPONED IJN TONE* - POSTPONED IJN MOGAMI (FLOATPLANE CARRIER)* - POSTPONED NEW SUZURAN/KRITI I*** - POSTPONED NEW YUKARI/KRITI II*** - POSTPONED NCL DREAM/DREAMWARD** - POSTPONED NCL WIND/WINDWARD** - POSTPONED IJN YAMATO* - On 3D stage (phase II, unfolding) IJN SUZUTSUKI* - Building underway IJN ASASHIMO* IJN HAMAKAZE* IJN ISOKAZE* IJN HATSUSHIMO* IJN YUKIKAZE* IJN KASUMI* * WARSHIP ** CRUISE SHIP *** FERRYBOAT Maybe these new additions (the last eight) are familiar to you - if you know well about WWII naval warfare, and particularly the Pacific theater - they are part of the legendary Ten-Go mission (also known as Ten-ichi-go or Operation Kikusui); two of these ships - IJN Fuyuzuki and IJN Yahagi - have now been completed, but will not receive any flags until all other eight ships are present, as a sign of personal tradition of adding any flags only when achieving full completion, either of a particular ship or a notable fleet. I will keep you updated soon as new progress is made, particularly IJN Yamato. For anything else, you can suggest new ship models I might add to the online store I will be opening when I return to my home country; please note that knowing there are some people here who may be from blacklisted countries/regions, I will not serve them, therefore I may take their suggestions but I will not be able to sell to them, after - and if - such models have been produced. Here is the full list of blacklisted countries. I appreciate your understanding in advance; if I had to restrict these countries, that's because of repetitive violations of my Terms and Conditions, carried out by one or more individuals.
  7. Been very long time, but then, here is a work-in-progress I am currently working on, the Japanese Super Type A program's Azuma class super large cruiser, Mitsumine. Zao class cruisers were also part of the Super Type A program; I designed those earlier this year, but it still needs modifications.
  8. I do produce papercraft models of those, but I don't follow much on their movements, as I don't even live in North America. ^^;
  9. This astonishing Beulas Mythos HDH - to my opinion the most beautiful coach anywhere in Switzerland - was once for sale; it's not listed on the https://beulas-suisse.ch used vehicle page anymore, so I will try to identify who purchased it, if it ever was purchased by some other company here in Switzerland.

  10. Worked perfectly. Since I am running on Quad-core on my Huawei Y6P and no app/browser has crashed since I got this phone, I will treat this solution as permanent. Thanks Ashton! ^^
  11. Being mostly on my phone and sometimes needing to adjust my signature (where my rules for using my papercraft can be seen) as I still have the idea in mind, I no longer have the option of moving to the desktop site versus the old version of the site. Is it possible to re-enable this option, so that we can make full use of the site on the go? Thanks in advance.
  12. your, ah, WEBS isn't up to date, because I looked and it says page doesn't exist.

      Long ago I terminated it. 

      Will replace it with the current one I developed on another sitehost. 

  13. I know I'm bringing something that's from one and 1/2 years, but then maybe should help. About the said 'foamers', it's true that it's an annoying experience with them and so on, particularly if they just spend their time shadowing you wherever you post. The best way around is, you CAN JUST IGNORE THEM, by throwing the command 'ignore' on them, including blocking them from PMing you with their poisoning messages. Others will eventually see what those blockheads say, but then remember that once you give importance to what they say, you just fell right down to their ground scraping level, and obviously you don't want to. Remember, "arguing with someone who renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead." This just to say one shouldn't quit this forum just because of some bonehead trying to turn his life to hell; just put up a 'fence' the admins have provided you with, and voila... They even grow tired and give it up; if all of us just simply stop arguing with whoever prefers the 'hardcore fanboy act', then they will much likely get lost, maybe even flocking to this thread to have their accounts removed. Any admin, I'm very sorry if I stepped on your toes, I'd accept the consequences if necessary, but I just had to, in a bid to help anyone.
  14. That reminds me, the Trans-Pacific Partnership was meant as a way to reinforce copyright laws on the member countries, but personally I never believed that would have any significant impact. Another reminder to me, I think I still have my account, though the bottom line is that one can see my face, and the photos are almost all in the same few locations. Perhaps what could be stolen from there are those of a coach that's no more for quite some years now, the Neoplan N516 SHD Starliner, and there are practically nothing regarding these four units in their former selves. One of them with Durmo Tours: Durmo Tours ex. Buchard Voyages
  15. In the end this thread is completely useless and should either be deleted itself or locked... If one would like to leave and the only way to do it is through Admin action, guess the best is PMing an Admin. You should know better. xD
