G,day peeps this little shimpaku has been with me for about 4 years, and I have had one of those where to now dilemmas with it.
The original top did not survive a brutal attack, before picture taking. So it has survived here as a mini semi cascade!!.
So as it is a pleasant 32, I thought what can I do before I have to water the minis.
Well here is one project. I tried some tie wire looked bloody awful so I split the trunk and put some wire on. So here are the pics.

Re: Shimpaku restyle
hey pup looking good 
i think i might go against the grain here a bit but i think with the tie wire on it giving the trunk that bit more movement, i think it worked for the trunk, if the foliage was sorted out some like you have it now and the trunk tied, i think it would be quite possible to work well.
