大震災から1ヶ月余りが経過しました。報道から伝わってくる被災地の状況は、正直あまり変化がないように感じられます。関東地方でも連日のようにやや大きめの余震があり、不安感が消えることはありませんが、まぁなんとかやっています。
After a month, the Japanese isrands have been getting the shake yet. Several huge aftershocks harry the reconstruction efforts, electricity, town gas, water and sewerage of the disaster areas. We appreciate your help from all over the world, but are sorry for not taking any effective action against the Fukushima nuclear plant and the spreading radiogen. Fortunately the radiation of my town - it's around 130miles from Fukushima- is minimal. I'm not so young and not worried about some healthy troubles which resulted from the radiogen immediately, however, parents who has babys or children live with some indefinable anxieties, I guess.
The following photo was taken by a friend who lives in disaster-affected area a month ago. Furnitures and household has been shaken by the quake and most of model kits, reference books and decals were damaged heavily with the tsunami. Now he has recovered a little of poise, and prepare to build the surviving TOYOTA TF109 in 1/20. If you have a spare decal set of the TF109 by MONOPOST, please email me.
写真は前回の『F1モデリング』のコンテストで見事優勝を飾った石鉢(いしのはち)氏のご自宅の画像です。今回の津波による被害で家具や電気製品、書籍類は泣く泣く処分されたとか‥。でも、キットの一部と作りかけのTF109(MONOPOST製レジンキット)は奇跡的に無事だったそうで、なんとか完成させるべくデカールのスペアを探されています。お手持ちのデカールを譲ってもよいという方は私宛にメールを下さい。
