Chinese Junk - Imai/Aoshima 1:60

[johnlattanzio]

While I continue working on the Golden Hind, I like to have something less demanding on the go at the same time. For a break.

I was impressed with the work done by Harry Houdini on his Chinese Junk - see here. So I bought one of these and will start it soon. I will go for similar colours to Harry because I think his looks excellent!

I have also been reading a bit about Junk rigs, in preparation...

Very nice selection. I have the same way of thinking and for that I have a few easy ships to do. I also like to do something "out of the standard". And for that I have a couple Chinese boats waiting to be done. Last year, I did this one :

It has a very interesting story and was easy to build.
