beefmuffin 1156 Posted September 9, 2015 Funny story - I didn't get a chance to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron in the theater. Had to wait FOREVER till it came out digitally (today). Luckily it still came with special features, and while watching them lo and behold, a little friend! HEY, I KNOW YOU !! Anyone else know of any choice Tamiya cameos? I know of the epic Punky Brewster one... but there must be others. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beefmuffin 1156 Posted September 9, 2015 Oh, wow! I figure someone in the film crew is probably a Tamiya-head. R/C, scale-modelling and special-effects-filled movies have always been connected. I think I recall one TC'er who works with props etc for films. Don't recall who - but I wouldn't be surprised if there were several! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose1983 3335 Posted September 9, 2015 I dunno Ben, but I'm totally beside myself with the fact someone would identify a Tamiya car sitting so far in the background when watching a movie like this somewhere! By the way, it's good to have you back here in TC! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beefmuffin 1156 Posted September 9, 2015 Thanks man! Glad to be back, at least my pinkie toe. Still don't have time to actually work on projects... but WHERE ELSE could I possibly go to tell people how I was excited to see a QD Thunder Dragon in a movie?? Only you people would understand... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zomboided 374 Posted September 9, 2015 You're all missing the point. I think we should be judging the fact that a group of grown men (albeit dressed up like laydeez) are walking past an RC car and paying it no attention. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobbi1977 1793 Posted September 9, 2015 I saw the Brimingham Royal Ballet do the Nutcracker last Christmas. They had huge radio control rats on stage, I was dying to go back stage and find out what they were based on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
