Well, you can't leave off there. You gotta tell us how you photographed her now!

Just got a Canon Eos Kiss X50 Double Zoom kit. Still playing with it, but I like it.

Go Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters!

From where we were sitting, no zoom

Full zoom on my 55-250 mm lens

Interesting to see that even though the Yamato and Musashi were sister ships, the Yamato was much more heavily armed.

What color gray did you use? Instructions called for Kure Arsenal gray, but I used Yukosuka Arsenal gray instead (since that's what I already had a lot of). Did a mix of hull red and Gundam red for the hull.

Nice work. It's also nice to see the comparison to the Yellow Sub kit. Don't think I've ever seen them side-by-side anywhere.

Hopefully it'll still be there in the first week of August, as that's the next time I'm getting down to Tokyo. Not much of a Gundam fan, but gotta see the 1:1 RX-78.

Already up for auction.

I've seen a lot of this guy's auctions, and he always offers at double the price as the kit was sold for.

Not just limited to eBay.

I know this is a rare kit, but that rare? Plus, the box is dented, and one of the bags is opened.

One of the eternal debates:

Ozzy Black Sabbath

or Ronnie James Dio Sabbath

I like them both, but leaning more towards the Dio era.

BTW, is the wood deck custom or does it come with the kit? I've never built "real-world" scale model before, so I wouldn't know what usually comes with these kits.

It's an after-market part. So were the gun barrels. The deck peice of the kit is marked like a wood deck, but I think the add on part makes it look so much better. The new barrels look nicer, too. They do offer a super, insanely detail parts set, but as I've never used these types of parts before, I didn't want to go crazy. Besides, that part set is more than the model itself!

That thing's gorgeous. I'd buy one myself if I didn't already have six other kits waiting for me to complete,

eh, I've only got 22 waiting to be built...

it was a birthday present from my wife, anyway.

How does one go about removing the gloss finish on a glossy paint?

Look for something called "flat base" that you can add to your paint. I know Mr. Color has that, think Tamiya does too. Add the recommended amount, gloss turns flat. Half the amount, semi-gloss.

Never seen this one before. It says its a 1/3000 scale.

Looks a little too blocky, though.

EDIT: Same kit, different pictures, lower price

It's been a long, but generally satisfying build. Never built a ship before, and this is the first real world subject I've built in quite a few years. Didn't go crazy with the option parts, just replaced the barrels, and the wood deck.

Now, the main question is where I'm going to put this thing when I actually do finish it.

A coat of paint, and a wood deck really make it look like I'm almost finished with the Musashi.

Agree with you Keith. And very tragic story he have to carry with there everyday. Sorry for your friend.

Keith was just making point here, not telling a personal story

Awesome! I'll be watching and waiting for it.

Thank you soooooooo much!!!! Looking forward to it!

Nice work, Linus! I remember seeing some of your builds a while back on e2046. Nice to see you over here.

However, I think you should be posting completed work in the Models thread. The Building/Customizing thread is if you're showing a work in progress.

Is this the Yellow Sub kit? I've got a couple waiting to build. Picked them up cheap to see the differences between this and the Hasegawa. Plus, it's nice to tackle resin once in a while.

Jingiskan, baby. That's all you need to know!

Can anyone out there recommend a good cookbook for blokes like me who aren't handy in the kitchen?

Really can't go wrong with a Campbells cookbook. Used to have one, and the recipes were very straight forward, and easy. Pretty tasty, too.

Post them in the For Sale section, and see if you get a bite.

I measured the Musashi this morning, and it's 75 cm long.

I've had no problems spraying the 1/72 Hasegawa Macross series in the hood.

"In the 'Hood, yo!"

Spray booth should be fine with that mask. Just remember to do your work in the hood! I've got a bad habit of keeping my work a little too far away from the fan for it to work effectively. You do probably want to vent outside, though. I've got a quick, easy way to do that; crack the window, put the tube in the bottom part, then cut out strips of cardboard to fit the gap left in the window. Since I use the booth only in the winter time, that does really cut down on the amount of cold air getting in.

If you check the On the Workbench thread, I've posted a recent shot of the Musashi. Yes, a lot of parts! And I haven' even gotten to the (probably) 30 plus machine guns to spread around the deck.

Figured on anything yet, GU-11? I was thinking about you while painting my 1/350 scale Battleship Musashi for about 90 minutes straight today. Damn, it's a big kit! But, the brush and compressor worked just fine!

Getting ready to prime and paint. Damn, this is a big kit!

Oh my...

Is it wrong to want to see this one before the original?

thanks! lol, so more men than girls here uh? see you later then ^^

I think that holds true for 99% of the internet in general.

But, but, but, isn't this just a remake of the funkier 1978 version?
