How long have you been away from the hobby? Was the 40 years in dog years? That is some stunning brass work. Keep the posts coming.

Cheers

Careful, Manstein's Revenge is going to come along and he'll want to marry it! LOL

That is some of the best PE work I've seen here or anywhere. Beautiful work.

WOW! I have been trying to decide whether the Lion Roar detail sets are worth the price . . . you have convinced me that they are! Does the Yamato set fit Musashi as well given the different AA weapons fit?

1st Model in 40 yrs - 1/350 Yamato

Posted by Firedeck on Wednesday, March 9, 2011 5:17 AM

Gentlemen, I am happy to post pictures to date of my first build (I have Nagato and Mikasa underway currently as well) and I chose Tamiya's 1/350 Yamato w/ Lionroar Set + some Voyager and Veteran Models upgrades. I only have base coat applied in most pics, brass unpainted as yet and awaits airbrush, wood deck and assembly. I will post more pics this week when i start airbrushing. hehe in looking at the pics myself, I see some fine tuning that is required on some of the pe ... but its 99% done. Thanks for viewing my project and all comments welcome!
