Edwin

Need some help. 
Have decided on a 1/700 Yamato. Not decided which: Tamiya? Fujimi? Pit Road? Any others to consider?

Anyone has advice on this? Am looking for a relaxing OOB build. Simple PE work should be fine. 

You might wish to ask under the SHIPS thread for advice on this one.  I doubt anyone here is familiar with all the kit manufacturers.

Sign me up, Gamera!

Thinking of doing a ship. Last ship I did was 43 years ago when I was 12. Will decide soon which ship this will be. 

Happy New Year, everyone!

 

 

 

 

Sounds cool! You've got a year to decide.

Heading way outside of my comfort zone this year and will be tackling the 1/700 IJN Takao heavy cruiser with a possible special guest. ;)    My plans are also to tackle the new Academy 1/48 A6M2b Zero but time will tell. 

 

Those sound great! I'll put you down for both but if you don't get to the Zero don't sweat it. 

BTW: IJN Takeo is one of the ships Big-G eats in Godzilla Minus One!

John: Sorry I did put you down and somehow forgot to say anything down here. My apologies...

Stug: That sounds cool! I put you down, let me know when you decide on a scale or company.

I'd like to give this a try.  I'll build the I400 or I401 submarine...from whom I don't know yet.  The Tamiya looks too big to start with (this would be my first sub and first seagoing vessel in about 40 years).  I might even try a 3D printed version I found and spice it up with brass details I make.

Gamera,

You can put me down for a Hasegawa 1/72 G8N1 Rita as long as you accept cross-overs.

I'll do that in conjunction with the X-Files GB.

Japanese Group Build XIII
Posted by Gamera on Saturday, December 16, 2023 9:46 PM

Japanese Group Build XIII

Rules

*Start Date January 1, 2024

*End Date December 31, 2024

*Japanese subjects which I'll define as operating under the Japanese flag, aka a captured P-40 flown by a Japanese pilot would be kosher

*Cross-overs are welcome

*Pre-started are fine as long as they're under 10-20% finished (light assemby)

*Any 'roll-over' subjects from JGB XII are welcome

* No cut-off date for entry, you can enter on Dec 30 if you can build the model in a day

And most important have fun guys and gals!
