RE: OT yamato
A few questions please 1275psi
- How long did she take to build?
- What was she made from?
- How much does she weigh?
- How do you transport her around?
- How much do you reckon she cost you in raw materials?
- I hope you have this work of art insured!!
She is just amazing!!

Sadly, it will only take 10 destroyed drones to sink this beautiful ship. More AA, always more AA...

RE: OT yamato
Thankyou guys for the comments, quite overwhelming
OK
I started this exactly 8 years ago
First model I have ever attempted, so I learnt a lot! (and there were a lot of mistakes!)
Ply wood frames, balsa strips , sanded, bogged, sanded, fiberglass, flow coat, and weeks and weeks of sanding by hand
I followed a rough rule of building everything in the structure with styrene, from scratch
As a learning thing, the ammo boxes were moulded
She is 12 feet long approximately, but unfortunately 3 inches too long for scale accuracy, a mistake from converting the
1/100 scale plans to 1/72, but you live and learn
The gun directors move individually, and main armament follows them
4 motors, 4 motorbike batteries, 2 individual radio control systems...
and 120 KG of removable ballast
Again, thanks for the comments, both here and in the AAR, you guys really are the
friendliest people ever
For any Aussies, in Sydney, weather permitting, she debuts at Hubertus Country club
September 5th
Its a great club, come and share a sausage!

I agree, you HAVE to have this recorded. Surely the local news outlet would have a crew on hand, this is far beyond merely 'impressive'.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
RE: OT yamato
I still wanna know, if I show up can I have a ride. Hey, I could be your 120kg of ballast.[:D]

RE: OT yamato
Well you did a great job on it, any plan for next model? We would be very interesting to see it. But if it take years to do, most of us may not make it lol.
Keep up the good work!

RE: OT yamato
Late to this party.
Will add my humble kudos for a job VERY well done.
Nothing quite like a man with a mission!
Don't want to steel any thunder here, but some guy has a similar passion for rail guns......an American by the name of Peter Shaw built this 1/6th Dora.
Just about the same length as your Yamato.
