WW2 Military Vehicles - by Toni Mauricio - Veículos Da Segunda Guerra

In other post, other day, I said that Toni Mauricio`s site was out. I`m wrong, sorry about that. To compensate, today I present here some models of this great Spanish modeler: four ww2 vehicles.

Outro dia, em outro post, eu disse que o site de Toni Mauricio estava down, fora da net. Bem, eu estava errado, e para compensar esta falha, hoje apresento aqui quatro modelos deste grande modelista espanhol.

An Old Colorized Photo Of The Real Thing
For 33 years, Ryounkaku [Cloud surpassing pavilion] towered over Asakusa and the surrounding city. Completed in 1890, built of brick over a wood frame, the twelve-story Ryounkaku stood out among the more typical two-, three- or four-story buildings that were common in Meiji-era Tokyo.
Because of its height, Ryounkaku was known locally as Ju-ni-kai [Twelve-stories]. Its height was of notable achievement. It was the tallest building in the Eastern hemisphere when completed; only some 70-feet shorter in 1890 than the then-world's tallest building, the New York World building. Inside "Twelve-Stories" was Japan's first elevator; the tower was lit on every floor, with an additional row of arc lights perched above the outdoor observation deck. A strong tremor in 1894 weakened the tower, producing a slight lean. In its aftermath, Ryounkaku was reinforced with steel girders. Unfortunately, the reinforced tower was no match for the 1923 Kanto earthquake and the towering landmark was reduced to rubble. - oldtokio.com

The Tower, After Kanto Earthquake

Por 33 anos, o Ryounkaku [Pavilhão sobre as Nuvens] se erguia imponente sobre Asakusa e a cidade em volta. Concluído em 1890, construído com tijolos sobre um esqueleto de madeira, o Ryounkaku, com seus doze andares se destacava entre os típicos prédios de dois, três ou quatro andares que eram mais comuns na era Meiji, em Tóquio.

Devido à sua altura, o Ryounkaku era conhecido localmente como Ju-ni-kai [Doze Pavimentos]. Sua altura era era um grande feito arquitetônico para a época. Foi o edifício mais alto do hemisfério oriental, quando concluído. Era apenas alguns metrosmenor que o maior edifício mais alto até então construído em todo o mundo, o New York World building. Neste edifício foi instalado o primeiro elevador do Japão. Um forte tremor em 1894 enfraqueceu a torre, então ela foi reforçada com vigas de aço. Infelizmente, a torre, mesmo reforçada, não foi páreo para o terremoto de Kanto de 1923 e este marco imponente do Japão foi reduzido a escombros. - oldtokio.com

O Japão, ao invés de se lamentar, aprendeu a lição e hoje exporta tecnologia anti terremotos para o mundo todo.

War Dogs RPG Paper Models - by Wandam - Cães de Guerra RPG

If I undestand, this cool models are made for RPG games. I think they are the paper version of those old plastic Green Army Men.

Se eu entendi direito, estes modelos são feitos para jogos de RPG. Para mim, eles são a versão em papel daqueles antigos soldadinhos de plástico verde.
