青春SAFS
高一の10月、中学時代の友達から招待されて行った文化祭で、数人に支えられながらも元気に動き回る等身大(?)のスーパーAFSに腰を抜かしそーになる。
ダンボール製のハリボテだったが 第15装甲猟兵連隊のマークまで入っていたりして かなりの良い出来で、当時SF3Dが大好きだった自分が見入っていると、ふいにハッチ(フタ)が開いた。
出てきた顔は、中学時代ずっと片想いだった女の子でやんの。
いろんな感情が吹き出して失神するかと思ったわ。
暗い報道ばかりで気が滅入り、気持ちを落ち着かせる為にwave製のSAFSのプラモを組んでいるときに 不意に思い出した青春の1ページ。
S.A.F.S ~my adolescence~
It was October of my first year of high school. A friend from junior high had invited me to a festival at his high school. At the festival, I almost fell over in surprise when I saw a life-sized (?) Super A.F.S. moving around happily while supported by several people.
It was made of cardboard and papier-mache, but it was very well done and even had the mark of the 15th Panzer Jager Regiment written on it. At the time I loved S.F.3.D. As I stared at the power armor, suddenly the hatch opened.
And the person who came out was the girl I'd had a one-sided crush on since junior high.
So many emotions came welling up that I thought I was going to faint!
Since I'd been feeling depressed with all the gloomy news recently, I was putting together a "WAVE":http://www.hobby-wave.com/ SAFS model to calm myself down when this memory from my youth suddenly came back to me.
