artoor_k Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hello! This is a project started a long time ago on MODELWORK forum but I'd like to share it here also. As it was said in title,this is my conversion of battleship Yamato by Doyusha,a very big one :) 105 cm overall lenght. Firt , I wanted to make a model of real Yamato but after lecture of Janusz Skulski book "Yamato-anatomy of the ship" I got a "bad feeling about it". Then I watched "Starblazers" and that was end of thinking about real model <_< I decided to modify my Yamato into Polish future battleship similar to Space Battleship Yamato but floating not flying.I love to built imaginary polish military machines (but based on real sf (or real) models,now I'm scratchbuilding a polish mech from September 1939 ). I wanted to make a big, bad,armed to the teeth ship with serious name It is WIP still because a have a few problems with it but my friend came with solutions and I'm going to continue with it soon. I'd like to know yours opinions about it Now the photos...a few of them: I want to make something simmilar: Superstructure: Overall: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

artoor_k Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hey HOLMES! Well, I have: A-7,P-7a and P-11 in final phase so I'm working on them.Battleship is progressing very slowly.I have a few projects "in progress" ( and one of them is "scratch")so it's difficult for me to achieve a good speed in making my battleship.A full list now: A-10 1:48 PFoWM LRAM v.2S "Rusty"+Pzkpfw 1 Ausf B 1:72 (I'll explain this when I'll put WIP here) TYPE91 tank 1:35 Judgement day 1:250 YF-19 1:48 Tyrannosaurus Rex (I don't know scale) A-7 Corsair 1:48 P-11 and P-7a 1:72 PZL DW-60 "Thor" dropship based on Osprey+hovertank-1:72 Qui-gonn lightsabre 1:1 Anyway I succeed in making an anchor with real chain :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Artook. I see you are a busy man and have a lot on your bench......I have seen and followed the other builds. The Anchor looks exquisitely detailed with the real chain...makes it come alive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

artoor_k Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yesterday propulsion tests took place :) Results? I have to remember that I should swim with no more than 1/3 of power. If not... battleship will transform itself into something with speed close to torpedo boat :) Sorry for no photos from tests :) Top secret photos of propulsion and steering devices :D Overall: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artoor_k Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hello! Last photos before painting. I've added funnels for shafts because of strong vibrations coming from transmission. Also added railings and removed gaps beetween superstructure and deck: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sarathi S. Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Was that an X-02 Wyvern I saw in one of those pics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artoor_k Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Was that an X-02 Wyvern I saw in one of those pics? No , it isn't Wyvern. It's something that I found in scrap box and it's made of paper and styrene :) Anyway, hello after long break :) And I have to say that battleship with each day is closer to finish :) This is status for today: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artoor_k Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Two weeks to zero hour. I hope I'll finish this baby on time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artoor_k Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Strange how red color changes ship :) Photo made two weeks ago: "Judgement Day" took part in contest: photo from there: And today photo just after propulsion tests. Short movie from launching and more photos of finished model this week (I hope so) :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artoor_k Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hello! It's high time to post final pics and short film:) The launch took place a year ago (sorry :( ) And few photos: Unlucky for some unexpected spectators... ...launch was succesful... ...so unprepared enemies had to leave in a hurry:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
