Another fun thing that pops up on EBay occaisionally from Japan is a 'Takara Joe' rubber Godzilla suit that fits GI Joe. The price has always been too steep for me, they tend to go for about $100. But you could do a great scene with Godzilla suiting up for the big action scene, or pausing for 'Miller Time' after stomping the city. And the N guage layout would then be a 1/12 scale model of the movie set! [8)]

Yes, my layout does have an N-scale Godzilla sitting on his ledge on the mountain waiting for a chance to attack the sleepy, little town below. Can't say that he's brought me any luck, though. Just keep spending more and more money! By the way, Godzilla is perfectly prototypical on my layout. If you click the web button below, you'll see why[:)]


Awesome layout! I'v always wanted to model a railroad set in an Asian country, such as Japan, China, Vietnam, etc., but never had a source of inspiration.
Thanks!!!

Hmmmm. Mothra has a sound equipped decoder? Wonder if you could do advance consiting with Godzilla and Mothra. Where's Randy?
If you ain't having fun, you're not doing it right and if you are having fun, don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.

No....but I'm thinking of sneaking a Sasquatch onto our club layout, since we have some forested areas that need 'detailing'.......



I was thinking of that too. I wonder if an S scale figure would be about the right size to start from, or if it'd be too big??[?]

Sure, but if I put a baseball player on my layout, it'll be Ichiro...not Godzilla![:)]
