Hi, how is proceeding the yamato build?
Can you also tell me what pontos kit have you used?
I see on potos site 4 different yamato kits.
Maybe is the new tool advanced?
thanks!

I'm sorry to say I don't see any of the pictures in part 2 or 3 either.
The ones in the first part look amazing!
Take care,

PART THREE are miscellaneous parts like searchlights, catapult, smokestack and the current status of the hull. Again, most parts here are 3D printed and you can find photos of the original unpainted parts in some of the posts before. I bought the Artwox wooden deck, did try to replicate the darken deck of the Yamato during the last days, but I failed and did not like the look of it (it was too black), so I went and got the Pontos deck, which is a bit better in my opinion, and went with a different approach, using more dark brown shades. I'm still not 100% sure if I'm gonna use this deck or buy another one and do it all over again, some feedback would be nice here. Thanks

[b]PART TWO[/b] is mainly rangefinders, control towers for the AA guns, searchlights etc. Pretty straight forward, every part has it's own interior depicted , with binoculars, communication tubes etc. It will be for sure a nice small detail to look at in the end.

Long time! But I've been working tirelessly in the background, mainly finishing smaller parts one by one, painting, drybrushing, washes, oils, weathering, clear coating...it takes a lot of time of course. But I finally have a substantial update to show you. PART ONE will be about the Yamato mighty armament. All parts here are 3D printed, some designed and printed by me, some things are from Bunker Studio and some are from Blue Fatty Model. I'm still missing 28 Type96 triple 25mm guns that will be visible on the open decks, the ones in the photos are meant to go inside the closed turrets, not much will be visible in the end so I used those one as practice and did not take much care about weathering, painting etc. I used as reference the well knows areal B&W photo of the Yamato during the operation Ten-Go, and replicated the elevation on the n1 and n2 turret, n3 turret is highly elevated suggesting AA "flak" firing. I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, having the guns in different angles, but since I had this option with the very nice 3D blast bags I just could not resist.                        Long time!

WOW! Your 3d models combined with the stuff you bought pretty much make for a whole new kit. Looks amazing. I will be following this with interest.

Latest update on the Yamato, received a new shipment of 3D parts from HobbyEasy and went to work with it. Assembled everything and primed with Mr Surfacer 1500.
Other than that I've been designing and test printing some new stuff, new floor for the air defense level on the main bridge (wooden texture and position for the 3D printed binoculars).
Also the front ventilation system under the secondary turret is almost done, will go nicely with the detailed print of the turret blending it in with the rest of the ship.
As always I'm open for feedback :big_grin:
