Tian Jie 1:144 Yamato

This is as far as I'll go in that direction:

That would lookm awesome photoshopped into this picture:

Next you need to match this one :)

Nah, I got her a perambulator instead.

Six feet?

Buy it a nice soft bed to rest on.

Hours? We don't refer to "hours", just having loads of fun!

 Actually, started it in November last year.

Thanks!  Where to get? Try calling Don at www.loyalhannadockyard.com . Don't forget to bring your wallet. Don't forget to read my series on it in Ships in Scale (www.seaways.com) BEFORE writing the check! ;-) Deck? Painted? Nope, this is no injection molded kit. You're looking at wood planking... and not scribed sheet either, but 1/16" wide individual strips with black caulking lines between them, and then a very thin wash to simulate both the natural weathered grey and the remains of the 1944 soot application- which I like but is highly debatable!

Wow, how many hours did you put into this model?

Wow, that looks awesome, what did you use for painting the deck, looks great.

BTW... in 1:144, a Yamato is six feet long.

Darn, the LHS doesn't have any of those cute little plastic display cases that will fit!
