Brian's actual 1/200 Yamato build

[Bri62]

Brian, you had me check on the dictionary the meaning of "Untidy" as I could find nothing matching my English language knowledge and what your picture is showing to my eyes. :smiling4: :tongue-out3:.
Beware of the untidy bench bunch reactions: the "Untidiness" flows strong on this forum. :smiling5:.
About the model: WOW!

But there is a mug/cup

Brian the bench is only untidy when the workspace becomes smaller than A4 size.

That's looking great and a tribute to your persistence with the PE. She will look outstanding on the shelf when completed.

If you had not have said anything we would have been none the wiser. They do look rather nice. Give yourself a pat on the back

[Ian M]

A mug and a death machine. Shame on you it's a total bomb site. lol. If I am lucky I can just fine enough room to put a coffee cup down.

[Bri62]

Guns painted and mounted.



The cockpit took some masking

Next step is railings having to paint the railings on the sprue due to the wooden deck is it best to use an etch primer? or any old primer .

Personally i would use a primer suitable for metal but you will likely have to still do a few touch ups here and there after there fitted anyway.

This ok? my local shop has it in.

Personally I’d go with the one shot Brian. It’s not as if the railings will need to be able to resist constant handling. As Mark says, you will probably need to touch up here and there after installation, but after that they probably won’t be handled at all.

Superb build, Brian. Excellent work. :thumb2:
John.

[Ian M]

Wash the frame off first and any primer will do. And yes you will be touching things up after fitting lol. Railings are the thing that demands a steady hand, a good eye and calm.
(So I'm shafted!)

She is looking very good Brian. (got it right that time first time).
