Every year I am issued a challenge by a modelling friend's better half to build something according to her whimsy - last year it was that mecha elephant, the year before it was the golden racing car made from two F104s.. this year her challenge took the form of handing me a large Billings boat saying "build this"....
Coincidentally I was issued a separate request/challenge to build a Fujimi Kinkaku-Ji temple...
So, killing two cranes with one Zen garden pebble I present something of a preview :
The Super Zen Flying Ship Car Tank with devotional bridge, carp pond and garden.
