cog Posted May 12, 2017 #726 Posted May 12, 2017 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 !) Canute, RGL and popeye the sailor 3 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

WBlakeny Posted May 12, 2017 #729 Posted May 12, 2017 Bravo! What a stunning result. If my yamato will look only half so beautiful as yours i'll be a happy man.

There are marked places for the stanchions but I cannot drill them until I do up the hull. The Forecastle is a very nice mold. As you can see from the AOTS there is not really much to be done here. The Tamiya capstan and cable holder are fairly bland; and I have replaced them with the Chrysanthemum set which is just lovely. 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?

With your experience now would you build the same scale model or would you go for 1:200 Yamato ? Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote
Olaf Posted February 12 #734 Posted February 12 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 🤪. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote

Olaf Posted February 12 #736 Posted February 12 (edited) 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?

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.

I used the open one as it looks better and I suspect Tamiya got the idea from the photos of the wreck but I suspect the keyboard warriors are correct when they say the covers have rusted off. Still, looks nice.. So all up there is about a metre of it, which at 1/350 is a lot. 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. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote
