Ekis, The last picture looks particularly cool. A question, the tower roof near the gate has a semicircular cut out in it. What will go there?

Yes, that’s it! Initially I only noticed one corner, but later noticed it was actually two corners. What is the purpose of it?
It’s probably going to be painfully obvious once you explain it.

Steve, Its looking good! I was always partial to this kit. It really builds up nicely. I have one kicking around, but it has the usual warps and twists. I even ordered some “good” plywood to replace things but it came warped too. I have to see if I can straighten it out. It got me thinking of the old days when plywood was plywood. I took a picture of a planking clamp I made years ago from 5/8” birch ply from Ace hardware. It has twelve layers to it!! Of course I had to walk 10 miles in three feet of snow in bare feet to get it. Or maybe that was going to school, I forget.
Maybe I can talk Chuck into making a 3/16 or 1/4 inch version of it.

Ekis,
Most of the time looking at the photos you forget how small things are. They appear much larger in your mind. They stand up pretty well to the zoom, so they be really awesome In person.

Clare, The Honryou-sen hull really has a very elegant flowing look to it.
