Given the waist-to-hip ratio, that figure looks female to me, and despite the flattish chest, which is not all that uncommon. Also, I'm not sure why it seems to be such a common assumption that Chinese females should always have their hair down, no matter what the dynasty.

Agree. Not that it's really going to matter, seeing how it's a band of pirates. Motley is the order of the day.

Well as I worked on my Junk [no jokes please  ;)], thoughts that it might be too big to be inconspicuous on the rivers, harbors and seas,and so I started on a smaller, more modest Junk. Will will progress on both until complete. At least thats the plan.



And a pic showing size to the bigun. ;)

Johan, the Chinese pirates is a new think for me. But the good guys needed someone to fight and evil overlord wannabes need minions and thus the need for the pirates. Pulp is addidictive as one thing keeps leading to another.

And Von lucky, I will proudly keep posting pics of my junk.

Love it, love it, love it, LOVE IT!!!!  :-* :-* :-*

BTW - where did you get the "mesh" on the windows and cargo hold of the larger junk?

Thank you everyone for the kind words.
I am slowly adding details with balsa.




Here's how it sizes next to Barracuda;




....where did you get the "mesh" on the windows and cargo hold of the larger junk?

I don't know its name, but I've heard folks call it Granny Mesh.
Its the soft plastic mesh sheets sold at crafts stores for knitting yarn thru. An Exacto cuts this stuff like its butter.
I should have picked up it in black, but the white takes cheap spray primer well.

I also used it to make the mooring cleats on the Barracuda. I just cut away until I had the shape I liked with 2 pegs to insert into the deck. Hit with superglue, paint & presto, cheap mooring cleat.

Oh, and when I was at the craft store for balsa, I scored some cheap cargo barrels. :D

Well, the smaller Junk is done except for the sail and to shorten the mast.



Painting will have to wait until I finish building the larger Junk as my work space is only large enough for one task at a time, painting or building.
C&C always welcome.
Thanks.
