Very nice. It's always good to have a tank-san in the house.

Strange looking beastie.

Don't expect zoological precision here. The model faithfully reproduces traditional Japanese statuary of tanukis, with large eyes, tiny nose, broad hat, pot belly and large, hanging scrotum.

[Vermin_King]

Yes, indeed. Glad to see this one built

[SCEtoAUX]

Here the staff, promissory note, and sake flask are added.

The promissory note and sake flask (tokkuri) are both open back also.

Here is the finished model



It wound up being 24 cm tall which is around 9½ inches. Takes up a lot of room. It seems like it would not be too difficult to build at half the size.

[cfuruti]

Well done, very similar to a tanuki clay doll. So many compound curves!

[Toddlea]

Very nice. Congratulations on being the first one done. Remember you can enter as many times as you want.
