Tatebanko on the roof

[Pat_craft]

This is the last tatebanko I have found on the internet : the Horyukaku roof battle.

The scene illustrates a popular episode from the Edo era novel "Tale of the Eight Dog Warriors of Satomi." A young samurai armed with a sword fights off his opponent as two other men climb onto the roof with paper lanterns.

Hi Pat:
Another beautiful tatebanko.
I like so much this genre, this gives me inspiration to go back to the ones I was designing, rearranging images.
You mention that found it on the internet. is it a frre download or bought it in astore?

Hola Carlos
It was sold on a store, but it's not me who buy it. Fortunately, the picture was big enought to be print ! Cool !

I just made the background with photoshop, like we can see on the elevation.

Hi Pat:
Thank you for the link. It has a wealth of inspiring images.
I'm sorry I stoped doing tatebankos. It's a good thing in modeling as a hobby, to enjoy the freedom of doing what you feel at certain given moment, not what you must do, but on the other hand we lose the streak and what could be a coherent sequence of works, exploiting one idea or a theme is lost.

Another case where I wish we could get rid of that api.viglink nonsense on links. Was going to check out Wayback Machine, but since links are going thru this viglink thing, copy shortcut is worthless. oh, well
