I am missing the Mary Rose.....

 

Greg,

you should be able to solve that problem, not so certain about the OCD though, that is a modeller's syndrom. I bet you say that to yourself each time you buy new tools, or a new kit for that matter ... (I do !)

Bravo! What a stunning result. If my yamato will look only half so beautiful as yours i'll be a happy man.

You've put the bar quite high for us, other yamato builders. A new benchmark :)

Moving along, I have done everything t the deck I can do before painting. There are marked places for the stanchions but I cannot drill them until I do up the hull.post-253-0-41671300-1476760258_thumb.jpg

 

The Forecastle is a very nice mold. As you can see from the AOTS there is not really much to be done here.post-253-0-06965400-1476760265_thumb.jpg

 

The Tamiya capstan and cable holder are fairly bland; post-253-0-15988400-1476760269_thumb.jpg and I have replaced them with the Chrysanthemum set which is just lovely.post-253-0-82385200-1476760272_thumb.jpgpost-253-0-72063300-1476760275_thumb.jpg

 

 

The front hawser hole is provided by Tamiya but the other brass is all Pontos.

 

Now it's in its' box until painting time. What next?

Hi RGL. You done great job. But I have question to you. Is it worth to but Pontos PE kit like on this link?

1:200 Yamato model is more expensive than 1:350, but 1:200 has 15 sheets of photo etch where for 1:350 you have to buy extra. I know that there are some extra photo etch for 1:200, but will buy it 🙂. My wife will get probably heart attack when box will arrive 🤪

Hi guys. I just found that there are two different numbers for 1:200 Yamato Trampeter. Or maybe I need glasses 😀. Can somebody help me please which one is the newest? 
I just found MonoChrome | No. 64010 | 1:200. Is this. It’s said that is newest model or Glow2B 505805200 is the same model?

There is a build I'mfollowing on another forum that's quite good as it points out the bits that the instructions don't tell you about and is nicely weathered. When I get an airbrush there is a wealth of info on it, I know how to but there is so much good stuff out there now on the internet that did not exist back in the day that it's a whole new world. I think the secret is to be subtle. I imagine the hull will be battered and dirty but the Japanese were and are so fastidious the areas that were accessible would be as clean as possible or their seniors would have flogged them.

 

I keep telling myself stop rushing.

Hi @RGL. Can you please give me a link for this forum ? I would like to get so many information as possible before I start my project. I can see there are more Pontos PE for 1/350 Yamato model than for 1/200 Yamato scale model. I would like also replace cables going along side the ship. It will be difficult.

Moving along with the hull, I have placed the degausing cables. You are given two options, one closed and one open. I used the open one as it looks better and I suspect Tamiya got the idea from the photos of the wreck post-253-0-53662800-1477613227.jpg but I suspect the keyboard warriors are correct when they say the covers have rusted off. Still, looks nice.post-253-0-45811600-1477613214_thumb.jpg.

So all up there is about a metre of it, which at 1/350 is a lot. post-253-0-73363500-1477613313_thumb.jpgpost-253-0-56206600-1477613329_thumb.jpg

Hi Greg. Can you tell me what is diameter of this cables please? I would like to make for 1/200 scale. Pontos 1/200 doesn’t have for this cables . I would like to sand of molded one and put replacement.
