Re: Dr. Shige's "Grille"

It really is quite amazing work, though. His stuff looks like museum quality.

I'll bet Geek is right, this guy most likely would sell it for $$$$$ to private collectors.

Re: Dr. Shige's "Grille"

Question Re: Dr. Shige's "Grille"

Do you guys know the actual name of this, and was it only"on the drawing board"? Or was there a prototype actually built?

Cheers, thanks!!

Tom
