I have also recently purchased a lot of Edo era Japanese historical models, so rather than having two WIP threads (one for my LOTR models in the WIP forum, the other for these in the non-LOTR Talen Showcase forum, which is what other people seem to do), I thought it may be better just to combine them into a single thread. I read the forum guidelines, which don't explicitly state that you can't, but I don't know for sure whether this rule would be assumed.
