That would be neat to see Bruce. Don't think I could pull it off, I make a dust cover for every build out of plexi. As of right now I don't have a way to bend it to fit around a round base.

That is so cool! Its definitely scratch built and on the realistic side instead of animated. Gives me a idea to try and scratch build my own one day.

Great Idea Bruce if I ever build a round base.

Got The Going Merry done today only thing left to do is stain the wood base and add the nameplate.
I made a bit of a goof on the base, when I measured out the base it was before I had the ram head added so now it sticks out a bit from the base :headslap:
Hopefully I won't make a mistake like that again.

This has been a very fun build! Bandai also makes the Straw Hat Pirates 2nd ship the Thousand Sunny. I will be getting it very soon.

That is a very good looking base!
And the water looks amazing, really real in other words!
