Micro Ace Building

[bill937ca]

Anyone want a modeling project?  I found that there is a photo online of the Micro Ace head office and distribution center.  Typically Japanese it is a small commercial building. A Micro Ace delivery truck shows in the photos.

It’s a great little building to do. Some interesting roof lines and not horrid to scratch build. Like the little loading area in the center. Then really Japanese with the apartment small building butt up against it and houses kitty corner to it. Love it and want to do it!

 

thanks bill!

Ahh I missed the sign! Sounds like a sleazy afterhours club.

Could be wholesale rabbits for rabbit cafes, i.e. cafes where you cuddle / pet rabbits not eat rabbit.  :)

I'm sure if it was a sleazy after hours club. It would be on my next Japan itinerary.

Based on that huge ad on the side of the building it's a rentable storage facility and they seem to offer moving the items too.

Located next to the drug store. 

Also noted the builinb sign between the rabbit box and micro ace sign is also listing in English as a plastic model company. 

 

Ah I can get lost for hours on street view if I'm not careful.
