hddennis Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 Just made this for my first Kabuto and thought I'd ask the experts opinion. Would this be something a samurai might want for his kabuto? Howard Dennis Quote
uwe Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 Howard, The maedate looks great, only the background doesn't fit the scene :lol: Uwe Quote
Anthony de Vos Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 Hi Howard! Did you manufacture the maedate? Great job, looks nice. I'm not sure though if the vailtail goldfish with telescopic eye had been breed from the basic goldfish in those days. newertheless beautiful handicraft. Anthony Quote
hddennis Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks Fellows, I bought these about 10 years ago because we collect orientalia and I liked the way they fit together. They cost about $7.00 each in an import shop of trinkets. I still see them on eBay occasionally. I pinned them nose to tail, painted the gold highlights and made a brass tab to hold them on. I'm glad they turned out so well. Now I need to arrange my man cave into different categories, not so mixed up historically. Howard Dennis Quote
