I was just poking around Brickshelf and noticed that James Mathis is as busy as
ever, although this time he's dabbling in 8 wide again, and with astonishing
results...

Check out his 8 wide Shinkansen:

Now check out this link he provides to real-life pics of the Shinkansen:

Holy Cow-- I never realized how rounded that train really is!  There are a lot
of Shinkansen MOCs out there, but none have come as near that bullet shape as
James' version!

Great work, James, and welcome to the dark side (again;-)
