Here is a sample of the simpler / simplified one pager Shirase AGB-5003. I borrowed the helicopter from one of the simpler models.
More to come...
ps: There is a simpler, or the simplest one pager with all the cranes, boats and accessories printed onto the walls or deck.

There's also the small icebreaker diorama from Olli Bizer, and blue and black scans of the very simple Marabout Jr. (French?) icebreaker from thecmn's vintage papercraft links.
The Japanese will make anime of anything. the Shirase figures prominently in 'A Place Further than the Universe'. The heroine loses her photographer mom in an Antarctic winter storm, and in high school raises enough money to join a privately funded expedition on the Shirase. On the way she makes friends who join her on the Antarctic expedition.
