Brian's actual 1/200 Yamato build

[Bri62]

And still more guns!



Two of the props are too long so I need to get the Dremel out you can see the inboard prop marked, also not sure if I should use the blast bags on the main guns or the P.E. there is an option! the easier by far would be the blast bags but they won't look as good imo.

Battle ready (blast bags) or at port (railings)?

The more I watch this super build, the less I want to start mine lol.
Don't worry I will.

That opti-visor in the back ground looks a good idea.

Hmmmmm undecided


Actually it's not more work looking at it. R4 or R3? R3+H13

Does the blast bag choice eliminate gun elevation?

Does the blast bag choice eliminate gun elevation?

I guess so looking at it, will check though.
Just checked and yes it does eliminate elevation so that's made my mind up R3 it is

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?

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)
