Legmato or Yamego?

Post by Jim D Burns »

Here's one for all the Japanese fanboys out there. More than six years in the making, it took longer to make than WitP and AE took combined! [X(]

That Lego Yamato is awesome, but I have to quibble since you brought up WITP and AE development. WITP was in development for at least 3 years (with an additional 3 years of pre-development design and engine work, though some of this was folded into UV's development) by a team of 3 core people and close to a dozen supporting people. AE has been in development for 3 years by a team of at least two dozen and up to three dozen people. In real years (not to even start on man-years) they are well beyond Legmato.

I understand the next project of this type to be completed will depict the Clamato, carved from frozen clam/tomato juice.

Never heard of it. Sounds a lot better than what I envisioned.

yasSUH! Although I tend to prefer Spicy Hot V8. The black pecker - I mean, pepper - is indispensible, though.

Makes a great bloody beer, too.

Nik - this IS a plastic model. And all you gotta do is click-click-click stick the pieces together until you got what you want.

Only took 7 months to do the Hood, and it has powered turrets.

It did rock in the 70's with some vodka. It's still has some populariy in the Hispanic community here in Phoenix. I see billboards for it sometimes.
