Brian's actual 1/200 Yamato build
- Thread starter Bri62
- Start date
I had a quick look at them do you really need to have the work so close? I saw the foxal lenght was 20cm!
Superb build Brian, you must have a lot of experience building ships, what's your build history?

Most impressive work Brian , esp that PE . Looked a nightmare to me so good for you .
Oh nice floor by the way !

I guess it depends on your eye sight I needed them some of the PE is very small <.5mm
Thx Bob this is my second ship after the Nelson and that was my first in over 30 years
Thanks John the floor was easier than I thought unlike the Yamato (some of which is a real pain)
Brian
YES Bri this model can be a PITA but when finished it will look great an then all the pains that have gone into it will be well worth it as i love these big battle wagons they give off an image of bueaty an sheers raw power as that the attrakion for me to these ships

That’s a super build Brian. Huge undertaking though 
It would be very interesting to display this with a model of Dreadnought. The Alpha and Omega of battlewagon design, showing how far the design evolved in just forty years……

Tim I have a 1918 dreadnought 1/350 and the Hood 1/200 next but undecided which first
Brian
Gave the deck a light grey wash prob need another?
Some more after market for the Hood. And you guessed it more AA guns only 18 more to do.

Ive got this in the instructions

So xf 70 according to tamiya.
Thanks Mark

I would go for the xf11 as it is a tiny bit lighter which might work better at this scale than the xf70 which is very dark. Both are IJN green though....
Last of the AA guns thank god
On to the middle size guns.
That's me done for the day

I modded one of the planes by hacking off the wings so it fits in the hanger bay I think it will look good all painted up
