Shipdaughters!

When?

Sunday afternoon

Where?

???

Ideas

• Life ring
  • Ideally painted red and white
• Shimakaze in a kiddie pool would be cute and funny
• Some sort of teitoku crossover, we'll have uniforms on hand I think?
• Somewhere with a sunset over water would be nice
  • Like that I guess

• Drying off on deck (uniform is not accurate) furinkan/cosplay/Shimakaze/shimakaze01.jpg

• MP Zero cos has a collection of poses: http://mpzerocos.exblog.jp/21351128/

  • And paired ones (near the bottom of the page), which isn't quite as useful: http://mpzerocos.exblog.jp/21332611/

• Strappy underwear pull
• Saluting
• Kougou-style pointing
• Take the ferry out of darling harbour past the ships docked there

Locations

• Darling Harbour
• Maritime Museum
• Garden Island? (long way away)
• Need somewhere with westerly aspect
• Pyrmont
• A wharf somewhere
• Look for naval monuments
• Bradley's Head? That's at Manly
• Barangaroo
• North side of the bridge?
• Somewhere with nice rocks down to the water?
• Steps into the harbour? (Under the bridge or maybe east of the opera house, around the quay, nice portrait opportunity perhaps)
• Overseas Passenger Terminal?
• The Rocks

• Woolloomooloo finger wharf might put boats in the background nicely: http://sydney-city.blogspot.com.au/2010/11/potts-point-woolloomooloo-bay.html

• The Domain is closeby, may serve a similar purpose

Props

What've we got?

• Rensouhou-chans
• Life ring (if we have one)
• Torpedoes? She had them apparently
• Food? Ice-cream? (just because it might be cute)
