Progress shots on Yamato. Here is the weathered port side lower hull. Still more to do but I want to give it a day so I won't go too far and over do it....gives me some perspective ;)

Here are som pictures of my modified Cosmo Zero Hangar. I add the folded external doors that are just under the upper deck. They actually have the correct dog tooth pattern on their under side but it is really hard to see due to how the doors fold. I tried to follow how the work as shown in the "EARTH" art book. I also added the slanted hull section next to the turret as that was missing in the upgrade sets and just had the bulkhead sticking out from the turret. I also did the best I could with partition wall the separates Alpha 1 and 2 but do to the nature of how these parts go together it was quite difficult to get in there and fix the seem.

Wow that Yamato is spectacular so far. Very fine work!

A hand-made articulating figure is quite the daunting project. I think you're pretty brave and motivated to get that far along with it. I will be checking back to see more for sure! that is a cool project.

Been steadily working on Yamato. Just about ready for the wash. Here are the shock cannons. Need to fix some things here and there, particularly on the "smoke-stack" and conning tower.

The fins, tower, ect are just dry fit on to see what it looks like. ;)

Perhaps this can be a bit of inspiration for you:

http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/jp/

Its basically people submitting scratch built "stuff" to Hasegawa to display. Its pretty awesome actually!

Wow that is cool. I don't think I'm on the same level as those guys but I could use the inspiration. I put like an hour or so of work into it since then and you can't even tell. It's all just structural.

So what's the consensus on the deck colour, I didn't know it was "wood" planks in space?!

After watching the anime again along with the painting guid that came with the kit, the deck is definitely a darker grayish color. The color I went with was a custom mix of earth and German grey.....gives it a brownish dark grey color.

Ah, I never noticed, but now that you mention it, I can see that difference. Very cool, now I gotta get back to my GX-64 toy and see if I can easily paint that in - argh.

Where did you buy it so that the box says "Starblazers 2199" Is it a sticker over the Yamato 2199 logo or did they actually print a different box for the NA export?
