whitestar12chris Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I present something a little different, a Japanese Water Bus called Himiko, designed by a famous Comic Artist in Japan. The kit is by Fujimi and is a lovely thing to put together with no fit issues, but be warned it is not for the faint hearted as it comes with a 165 piece mask for the windows. It is hand painted in humbrol enamels, it is probably better suited to being spray painted as i had a number of runs under the mask but such is life LOL The hardest parts to mask were the hemispherical windows with 6 masks a piece, the smallest being at the front, a mere 4mm in diameter, good fun. So with no further ado here is the Himiko in all her glory; And finally a size shot All the best Chris 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 A little 'left-field' but very appealing and futuristic. I originally thought that this was a fictitious subject until I Googled it. Think it's about time we saw another sub from you Chris... Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Oh no... not another Himiko water bus. 🤪 How many of these are there on Britmodeller? This is one of the better ones though. ✅ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaddad Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) That's brilliant Chris, where the hell did you find that & did they have any more? Himiko water bus sounds much more interesting than Japanese ferry! cheers, spad. Edited February 22, 2019 by spaddad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 looks great - shame the Thames Clipper service does not have something as good as this - those sky lights would come in a real treat around London City airport Lovely model all round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
