Brian's actual 1/200 Yamato build

[Jim R]

Making excellent progress Brian. As so many have said your PE work is very neat and precise.

Hi Brian. Just had a catch-up. I have to say you are a look better at building boats than you are are painting skirtings. Or that was maybe the Dulux dog's efforts. lol.

Yamato is coming along very nice. I'm itching to get into mine but I need a cabinet to have it in. Thinking of building a three or four shelf one. so there is room for them all (so far) in one place.

That Living room looks very nice indeed. Hmm. The dog looks like an Old English to me but what do I know lol Looking at pictures of them both, I can now see the difference.

Lots of guns to make


Brian

[Andy the Sheep]

The more I see those anti aircraft guns the more I feel for those pilots who had to dive towards them... scaring is an understatement.
A fascinating build, Brian. :thumb2:

[Bri62]

Brian

[adt70hk]

That's a LOT of guns!! Great work!

[Mickc1440]

Great work with that PE it’s minute

[minitnkr]

Crew protection seemed to be a priority as few gun crews seem to be exposed.

[Bri62]

All the smaller guns now done I'm also done for the day.
