Still waiting on an Ozma reissue, I'm praying someone here will be willing to do a group buy. -Kyp
-
Reissues with improved overall quality, or a redesign...either way, I'm in!! -Kyp

This remake has been nothing but incredible for me so far. -Kyp

This. -Kyp

Comparison picture between the 1/500 and the 1/1000. -Kyp

It's 1/1000 scale and it cost me 2,760 JPY at AmiAmi. -Kyp

Took 9 hours, but look what I built up: I only sanded the sprue marks, light sanded the hull to give it a consistent looking finish, and used a gundam marker (GM02) on the panel lines, but it turned out nice I think. My thoughts on the kit: 1. VERY fine AA gun barrels, they're unbelievably detailed, but FRAGILE. 2. The amount of surface detail by scale blows away the 1/500, seriously. 3. It's TINY. I really wasn't expecting it to be as small as it was, not much bigger than my 1/60 Low Vis VF-1S. 4. There's a lot of tiny, fiddly parts that can be really annoying, at least in my opinion. Tweezers are a must. 5. I swear, I think they designed the sprue trees for some of the tiny parts to challenge you not to either snap them or bend them too much causing stress marks. It can be done, of course, but you need to really be careful.

That's the Yamato 2220 Revival sculpt. My 2 kit's should be here today, can't wait! -Kyp
-
My two kits will be here tomorrow, Whoo Hoo! I most likely won't have time to open them up before going to work tomorrow, I'll put together the hull Thursday and post pic comparisons to the 1/500. (Really 1/628 with the new length of 333 meters) -Kyp

No sir, don't like it one damn bit. -Kyp

If this were any other Valk, I'd agree with you. But this Valk just simply doesn't need anything else, in my opinion. -Kyp

For the Yamato model itself, I think the hull color is Blue Grey 50% + Medium Blue 50% based on a translated color chart that I found here: http://farm2.static....9354595c6_o.jpg The interior Engine/fly wheel color is 50% Orange + 30% Brown + 20% Gold. (Sounds very close to Copper, lol.) The other Green color besides the 100% clear Green I have no clue, and also can't seem to figure out that secondary Grey color. -Kyp

http://www.1999.co.j.../10185348t/60/1 If any of our Japanese speaking friends would care to give a translation, I'll edit the paint guide image and write the English translation in place of the Japanese and post it. It would appear from the % color mix guides for the main Grey hull color have been changed somewhat from the 1/500 kit. The Grey is calling for a 50-50% mix of something where the 1/500 called for 90% Medium Blue + 5% Flat Black + 5% White. The Red part of this 2199 kit seems to be calling for the same % mixes that the 1/500 called for, 90% Monza Red + 5% Maroon + 5% Orange. I can also tell that it's still calling for 100% clear Green for the clear tower window parts, but I have no idea what it's calling for when it comes to painting the main windows on the Hull sides below the first and second main guns on each side. -Kyp

Where can I get the action base for this? Also, my two kits shipped out today, they should be here by this coming Friday, if not sooner! -Kyp

I'm getting two of these, one that I'm going to send to a pro model builder that I send some of my stuff too, and the other will be built like I did my 1/500, sand and paint the sprue areas, gundam mark the panel lines, and paint little details here and there and leave the rest be. That way, I have one very nice looking "touch me not", and one that still looks good, but screams "play with me!". *Edit* It appears that the arm part of the stand that allows you to mount it either right side up or upside down is something that you will have to buy separately, crap. -Kyp
-
Double post, sue me, here's the color guide, anyone care to translate it? http://www.1999.co.j.../10185348t/60/1 Also, check out the stand features, YF-21 type stand, anyone? http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10185348z11/70/11 All other images can be found here: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10185348 -Kyp

Got a email from AmiAmi, the two model kits I ordered are ready to be shipped. -Kyp
-
Apparently, because the design didn't allow room for them. -Kyp
-
Link? -Kyp
-
I've already said that I really like this scheme, but one is probably all I'll be able to afford. -Kyp
-
I found this site, and then remembered your question, here's the link to some really nice pics comparing the two: http://mecha-guy.blogspot.com/2010/12/bandai-1500-space-battleship-yamato_29.html -Kyp

"Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community. I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime. The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me. Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families." -Christopher Nolan

We should have gotten Graham to let them know about that, that's a pretty major thing to have off. Especially when every single line art picture and even in the video games shows them to be parallel. -Kyp
-
Looking at the diagram plans, it looks like the tail and ventral fins still aren't parallel with one another, they need to fix that. -Kyp
