Tamiya Con/2006

TamiyaCon '06 was the eleventh annual model building contest held at the Tamiya's US headquarters in California. The contest includes all types of kits that Tamiya makes. Naturally, I concentrated mostly on cars, for pics. Here are some of the entries.

I didn't stay for the awards and they haven't updated their site with any news of the winners.

Personally, I like the Ferrari F2000 diorama and the Blue Yamaha!
