Modeler: Creating the Tamiya Style by Shunsaku Tamiya
- The
blue and red star logo of Tamiya is now recognized internationally
as the mark of model kits of unrivalled quality and precision.
It was not always so. In the 1950s Shunsaku Tamiya joined
the family firm -- a debt-ridden lumber business in an air-raid
flattened city. He started manufacturing wooden models --
only to have that business wiped out by the arrival of plastic
model kits imported from America. This autobiography shows
how he responded to that challenge, successfully switching
from wood to plastic before producing a series of hit products
-- 1/12 formula one cars,
slot racing cars, military miniature tanks, warships, radio
control and 4-wheel-drive cars -- that continues uninterrupted
to this day. Model maker, craftsman, photographer, machinist
and accidental businessman -- this book is the self-portrait
of a man whose energy, curiosity and love of perfection created
a new standard in modelling and gave pleasure to millions
of fans the world over.
