BS yamato's patio
Re: BS yamato's patio
A very fine collection. I particularly like the view from the patio!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: BS yamato's patio
Nice to see these old models and the way your skills as a modeller developed.

Re: BS yamato's patio
Most impressive! I have built almost every 1/72 scale aircraft kit that you have too and I love seeing how much better you did on yours. What great memories you've brought back for me. Way to go. Looking forward to seeing more!

Re: BS yamato's patio
A total of four ships i finished in my hobby life, one, the old revell enterprise carrier (cvn65) is out of order and painted with regular hardware and actually dismounted (i suspect was my first kit biuluded ..but not sure) , another , a bismark 1/600 or 1/700 i build for a friend and never took pictures of her :(
the only two i have to show:
Battleship Yamato. Hasegawa 1/450
Some improvement i did, rear crane scratchbuilded, railings with copper wires, funnel improvements and other things
Builded about 1993-94
Battleship Kirishima from fujimi 1/700 waterline series
OOB i suspect and a restore is needed
At the next with more

Re: BS yamato's patio
I am always impressed by your models Yamato. Brush-painting skills like yours are amazing... bravo, bravo! And the beautiful scenery in the background doesn't hurt either. Great looking models always!
