Started work on internal bulkheads and ladders. Also a couple of really nice sheaves. They were pretty fun to put together.

With the platforms completed, the risers were next. I used two spacers to make sure the distance between the cap rail and risers was correct. The miniature clamps were a big help, although they did have a nasty habit of popping off, if I bumped them!
Not having the frieze strips glued in place also paid off here, since there was a good chance that they would have gotten damaged. Never the less, I still managed to nick the red paint job on the cap rail in a few places.
After scribing and pre-bending the strips, I decided to put the simulated nail heads in before the risers were mounted. The last photo shows the port riser and the front face of the storage locker in place.

Continue to work on decking. I wish I could tell you exactly the parts I am working on, but again, the instructions are all in Japanese.

I concur with Clare!!! No kits??? What am to do? I guess I will work on the other 5 projects.
Welcome back Bob. We look forward to continued work on Higaki Kaisen.

Hi Bob,
Welcome back! I somehow missed some of your last updates. You've been doing a great job on this build – your model looks fantastic!
I know what you mean about not knowing what to call the parts. It's a funny thing about this model because it's so non-Western that items don't really have a corresponding Western counterpart. And even if they do, somehow it doesn't seem right to refer to them using the same terms. Like the vertical timbers up near the bow are used to support a windlass, but do you call them bitts? Doesn't seem to fit. And, the aft half of the ship supports what might be called a main deck house, but I just feel like I need a Japanese-ee term for it, you know?
So, how dare you come back from Japan without any more Woody Joe kits! I certainly hope you'll be going back soon to get some more...

As I prepare for a final marathon day at the San Diego Fair, I spent the week working on the decking aft. The grain of the wood almost gives it a tatami mat quality.
