Hi All!
I haven't seen you for along time.

For some business reasons, I can hardly build models. At this time I as a volunteer can only build a small number of model ships to be displayed at Tsukuba Naval Museum that is a semi-public small museum in a local town near Tokyo.

http://www.p-ibaraki.com/tsukuba

Recently, I have build a diorama to comply with museum request. I brought it there the other day.

A title of this diorama is "Battleship Yamato enters into current Tokyo Port". I put 1/700 Yamato's model on the diorama of current Tokyo bay built in same scale. This diorama presents a imaginary scene for the visitors to feel the hugeness of the Yamato.

Attached No.1-4 photos are real scenes of Tokyo bay, No.5-7 are photos of the diorama.

Best regard
Yutaro

Hi Alan, Graeme, Tomick, Mark, Nemesis and Kev

Thank you for your comments on my post.

They asked me to provide a new diorama on July. So I had to spend almost my summer vacation to build this diorama.

The building of this museum is a real filming location of The Eternal Zero that is a 2013 Japanese war drama.I have already provided the museum some other my models that were introduced in this forum.

I hope visitors enjoy them.

Best Regards,
Yutaro

Hi davetwin, Andy and Al!

Thank you very much for your comments on my post.

I attach an additional photo of the diorama in the museum whose building was really used as a base of Imperial Japan Navy. The museum staff sends me it. Two additional small boats are attached on the surface. They will start displaying the diorama on August 25th.

Best Regards,
Yutaro
