Actually it's a Korean P'anokson type of ship model that I bought when I was stationed in Korea a few years ago. Now I wish I bought a couple more - and different types. Anyway, it's probably 1/150th scale, but after removing the sail and tower, it'll pass as a Japanese ship of the period. In fact, the construction of the Japanese ships of the period were based on Korean and Chinese examples.
A Curteys and a few TAG figures on the deck to show the scale.
I may stain the deck and the lower portion of the hull a darker color. The darker stain may disguise the cut outs for the sails and tower a bit. Also, I may use the Taira butterfly mon on the shields on the deck.
The foamcore base has been cut out to allow the ship to sit more at a waterline. I plan to add some "whitewash/foam" around the oars, bow and trailing the stern with silicone acrylic caulking.
Here's a quick (& sloppy) diagram of how the battlefield may look like. I plan to use a 5 X 6' table for this. I can't really draw by dragging a mouse.
Very cool ship model
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the battle play out.
What branch of the military and I thought you also sculpted that two! It looks great and is it perfect for scale or a little big?

ReplyDeleteThe ship is laser cut wood kit that I purchased while stationed in Korea with the Army. There were some pretty neat ship models at this hobby store near where I lived. I wasn't really into gaming then, so it didn't occur to me what they could be used for. Regards, Dean
That looks very cool and quite useful for scenario's.
