Nice model that addtionaly shows many similarities in the sail and rigging to the brailed sales of Bronze Age Mediterranean, geographically far apart. What age does this ship hale from? Well done. Rich (PT-2)Has any of our members ever built a Kitamae Brune from Zootoys.Shop?
I ask this because soon I will be receiving one of these very elegant models and I can't find a building log anywhere.
Anyway, I beleive this is will be my next build and of course will be logged.

The "buy low and sell high" has been the core of all trade commerce for eons. Still interesting to see so many similarities in the sail and rigging across that span time. Thanks for your history lesson in our launch of the new year. RichBetween the middle of the Edo period (around 1716 to 1804) and the Meiji 30s (around 1898 to 1908) 2. Connecting Osaka and Hokkaido along the Sea of Japan 3. Group of merchant ships sailing the Sea of Japan while buying and selling goods. Kitamae-bune is a collective term for merchant ships that were doing such movement. Points are "buying and selling" ...... It is not just a ship carrying cargoes. They had been sailing between Osaka and Hokkaido while buying anything at the ports that was considered “cheap”, and selling anything from the ship’s cargo that could be sold at a profit.
I got the figures separately, Google 1/72 Samurai/Japanese figures.Submarine blue:
Does the kit comes with the figures you have on yours, if not, where did you get them from?
Flintlocks. Haven’t shot them in years. No outdoor ranges nearby and you can’t shoot black powder in indoor ranges.A couple of fine looking muzzle loaders on the back wall. Flint or percussion? Fun to shoot!
