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,

Chris

the 3D printing has really turned the modelling industry upside down in terms of detail and how easy it is relative to PE and resin.

Thanks, I have to agree on that statement, 3D printing is the new revolution in our hobby, some people dislikes it because they call it cheating, I see it like a new tool where I can get even more absurd details that no PE, plastic or resin would give me, all in the name of getting the best result possible. I did 1/350 ships "the old way", spending weeks during summer vacation bending and gluing hundreds of PE parts for AA guns for the USS Missouri so I know the hustle. Hopefully people will start to get more used to 3D printed sets, just like resin cockpit sounded cheating back in the day for sure :heh:

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

PART TWO 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.

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.

Cheers,

Chris

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:

I am particularly interested in the bridge and the funnel assembly. any chance you'd sell any printed parts?

Hi, thanks. In what parts are you exactly interested? What I designed I can think about selling yes, but nothing is finished yet, so I don't have anything to sell at the moment.

beautiful job !!! :woo_hoo:

What wonders me is if you will make also detailing for main superstructure? Main funnel is reach of details and rivets while superstructure look quite plain…

IMHO models with properly balanced detailing may look better than models unbalanced in details.

Looking forward for next beautiful pictures ! :thumbs_up_1:

Hi! Well we don't know how it will look in the end, maybe good maybe unbalanced, but we'll find out in the end.

The funnel assembly was a bit like this in real life also, the upper part is much busier then the lower, granted that the lower has around 6 rows of rivets overall (much much less then the upper part), that is not included in the model since it's not a printed part. The rest of the superstructure was mostly plain in real life also, there are some rivet lines on the tubs of the 12.7cm open guns, and some other lines, but was mostly welded I guess.

Since the details on the printed parts are a bit over exaggerated, the lack of them on the plastic parts makes a bigger difference yes. We'll see how it ends :big_grin:

THIS IS NOT MY MODEL, taken from this post: https://forums.kitmaker.net/t/my-ultima ... /25736/257

Here we can see how it looks, the fellow modeler also use heavily 3D printed parts.
