Hi Gijsbert,

Hello all,

Apart from applying gold paint on both Phoenix-birds on the roof, the build of the Byodoin-temple is FINISHED. There are no Japanese parts left in the box, everything is used. Here are some pictures...

















Now that the building activities are finished, the Buddha with its base and lighting can be put in its final position and the terrain with the Japanese lantern can be added. I don't think I have enough space in my living room to add the pond in front of the temple, so I think I'll only make a sandy bottom.

to be continued...

Dear all,

There will be not many more major steps to be made at the temple, so I looked for a new challenge. Please look here if you are interested in my new project: https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/libertyship-jeremiah-obrien-trumpeter-eduard-1-350.7097/

Thanks for the support and cheers while I was building this super interesting piece of Japanese history.
