    Default "British galleon" model "C" possibly about William Adams

    I just picked up this model "C" because of how colorful the cell is




    It features what I'm pretty sure is a British galleon and after a little research I think it is themed after William Adams aka the inspiration for the book and movie Shogun ( he's the first British sailor to arrive in Japan that later became a Samurai )
    It's a very interesting story

    Here's a link to a brief history

    A Brief History of William Adams

    In the story it says
    "In 1604, Ieyasu ordered Adams to build a western-style sailing ship at Ito, on the east coast of Izu Peninsula. An 80-ton vessel was completed and the Shogun ordered a larger ship, 120 tons, to be built the following year"

    I think this might be related to this machines theme ( or perhaps it's about his arrival since it's flying the British flag)

    I saw it on Craigslist but could not make out the main attraction; I love the colors and looks well taken care of, good score

    Thanks for liking it gang, looking forward to getting it cleaned up

    And I also really like the seagull/beach detail Heima
    Had one in the same frame before, but it now resides with Bill in Tulsa so it's nice to find such a colorful replacement
    Will post some cleaned up
    Pics soon

    Wish I could be there thanks for sharing Clam!

    I like that the article mentions the cannons, since they are featured prominently in the CF
