Hi Everyone, Merry Christrmas and seasons best wishes to you all!!! Hope you and your loved ones have a safe and enjoyable festive season. Well in addition to wanting to pass on my best to you all for Christmas I wanted to share my latest model, Bandai 1/350 Star Battleship Yamato. It's 99% done although I am still debating if I should weather the ship or leave it pristine. I have a thing for wanting my models to look like they just came out of drydock. hahahahaha I was very nervous about buying this model as it is very EXPENSIVE and the additional delivery charges really makes it expensive!!!! :-( Anyway I thought you only live once and I had heard so much about it that I had to give it a go. I can in all honesty say the model as a kit is brilliant. The parts have been molded with fantastic levels of tolerance and fine detail which you need to see to believe. If anyone is thinking about buying and building this model I say do it you won't regret it. Well here are a couple of photos of my Yamato!! Merry Christmas!!!

That is one nice ship ! I liked this kit when i seen it on Boyed's channel, I personally like the weathered look. It make it look real then plastic kit. when I seen Boyed build it and it was clean it looked cool but after he weathered it WOW that kit popped and looked like it was in space. What ever way you go it is still a great job, and I will put your pictures up on our web site.
Keep them coming! Wally

Thanks Wally I appreciate the feedback. I have decided to learn a few weathering skills so I can continue to improve my model skills. Once I'm happy with my ability I will go back and weather the Yamato. So I have no choice but to gain the basic weathering skills I have started on the Polar Lights "Psycho" model. If you don't weather that puppy you ain't building a model. So after a little (maybe a lot) of practice I will go back to the Yamato :-)
