Thanks for your beautiful large format photos as well, really allows for savoring your attention to excellent detailing. Your copious and well explained notation also make this build log a pleasure. Glad I found it.

catopower Posted December 14, 2015 #156 Posted December 14, 2015 Hi Bob, You're inspiring me to get to work on my second Higaki Kaisen model. After finishing my first one, I received another as a gift. Also, I managed to acquire one of the larger Kitamaebune kits, which are out of production, as well as a Sengokubune kit. Their larger size is better for display purposes, but these aren't as detailed as the Higaki Kaisen kit and, I think, not as accurate. So, for now, they're just in the standby stack! Looks like you're getting close to the home stretch here. Have you thought about making a ship's boat to go with it? Don Dressel made one for his model. I thought about it, but never got around to figuring out how to make one. I figured I'd eventually add one on top of the forward deck house, but nothing yet. Anyway, your work looks terrific, and the finish is superb. Looking forward to seeing you and your model at the NRG conference next year!
