1/1 scale model of the battleship Yamato

Pretty cool. I bet they use CGI to fill in the rest when the movie is shot. Same thing they did with Titanic. I enjoyed the thread on that other site, too ... about the StarBlazers' Star Cruiser Yamato. I loved that cartoon ... even have a small scale model of the thing.

Very cool! But think of all the glue needed.

the weatherings all wrong, those canvas blast bags are waaayyy too dirty and the rust streaks and postshading are overdone!! and I think the gray is a tad too dark as well

WOW ! Impressive pics ! I wish the " Sea Hunters " , would explore the wreck of the Yamato . I have an unbuilt Tamiya 1/350 scale Yamato , still in the unopened plastic bags , still in the somewhat battered box . I got it free from a buddy who was renovating his basement . I am more into armor and some ships , mainly American , British , and German . I personally have very little interest in Japanese Battleships , but I do like their carriers .I can't even give my Yamato away .

The color may be slightly off but its going to be inserted into a picture by a computer, at which point the color can be adjusted.

I am here and will take the unwanted and unloved Yamoto off your hands.

I think the photo etch on the real ship was a little 2 demensional. Perhaps they shoud have used a better quality brand !!!

hahahaha

Think of the resources for modelers when that model is done!!

I'll trade ya sumpthin' for that unloved Yamato. How about a wierd old Blohm und Voss 3-engine flying boat a'la WWII?

Take it off-board guys, you know da' rulez...

For reference on Yamato there is a 1:10 model much better detailed at the Museum of Yamato in Japan

That is an unbelievably awesome build. And I mean the full impact of that word. I snagged about 50 or so photos for my one day 1/200 scale model. Its been online for awile now

Thanks for the extra pics!
