They look superb, Mr Bibbly.
Good idea with the interchangeable flags too.

(Although it does seem a little disturbing to me, setting off to war in a giant coffin.

Jolly Nice, how about a picture 'under sail'?

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #348 on:** 13 July 2016, 07:39:09 AM »

No, because I've only got one sail

cheers

Very nice!

I am beginning to understand how it was that an island nation didn't become a maritime power until the 20th C. I wouldn't want to sail in one of those in a mild breeze on the Serpentine.

The Japanese pretty much limited themselves to coastal sailing and so didn't fully explore the necessity for true ocean going vessels until the end of the long peace.

Obviously there were ocean vessels (trade ships and the like) but from what I can gather, losses in storms etc were quite high.

Great stuff!

What's the hinged masts all about?

Now you need to make a Portuguese black ship.

That's how they were stored during battle.

Convenient for when they are all sunk on their maiden voyage.

Splendid work, an impressive fleet indeed. Now you need to do some opposition for them

commissarmoody · « **Reply #356 on:** 13 July 2016, 09:28:01 PM »

OK the Korean imjin war ships do take priority
. Need to cast some molds of those boats though. Make it easier for lazy guys like me some

Has any one here watched the tv Drama "The Immortal Yi Soon Shin"?

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #358 on:** 15 July 2016, 07:09:15 AM »

Not yet but I did watch 'Roaring Currents' on dvd the other week and thought it was rather inspirational (same tale but in film form).

There's some good screen shots to grab from it

cheers

James
