Asked about the Model Contest 2001 which has just passed,
real modeller like Khun Phaisal never ever miss this type of
event, he gave comments that the time for publicizing the
event for those who want to participate in the contest is
somewhat too short, resulting in not much models submitted.
Asked about the contest's results, he grumbled that the
results for some types look contrary to the eyes, and that
next time (the judgment process) should be improved.
Standing, waiting for compliments (if any) for quite some time
but not yet released, I'd better change subject.
Asked about travelling (seeing several cars in the house)
- rain and traffic congestion, engine breakdown, flood on the
roads - all very frustrating now in rainy season, Khun Phaisal
led me to see his personal vehicle which happens to be a
motorcycle, cross-country type, which if compared with the
new gigantic Panther he just recently acquired, the price of
the vehicle may be only one-third of the Panther, while all
the cars I saw are his brother's. Um, quite distinctive.
From rough calculation using the eyes, over 1,000 finished
models, mostly middle scale 1/48 to 1/24, the price of the
models plus the cost of assembling & painting them, I have
to say that if not because of "true love, ready to wed", these
things should have never happened. But they did happen
for Khun Phaisal Hanbuntrong, this real modeller.
