宇宙戦艦ヤマトYAMATO MODELS

THIS IS A DREAM 1/350 MODEL FOR ALL YAMATO FANS, BUT THERE ARE SOME FLAWS IN ITS DESIGN , SOME FEATURES ARE INCORRECT AND SHIP HULL IS JUST TOO SHORT. HOWEVER, I DO LIKE THE GADGETS, LIGHTS AND SOUNDS, ETC, ALL UNDER REMOTE CONTROL.

IF YOU DO A COMPARISON OF THE SHAPE AND PROPORTIONS, YOU WILL SEE THE FRONT AND BACK HULLS SHOULD BE LONGER, THE MODEL LOOKS SHORT AND "FAT".

THE COMMAND TOWER JUST LOOKS TOO BIG WITH THE REST OF THE SHIP.

THE COMMAND TOWER LOOKS TOO BIG COMPARED WITH THE REST OF THE SHIP.

THIS ONE IS A BIG SOFT VINYL YAMATO. THE TAIL PORTION IS OVERLY LONG, BUT IN GENERAL, THE DIMENSIONS OF THE SHIP ARE PROPORTIONAL.

SHAPE-WISE, I LIKE THIS ONE BETTER. I THINK IT IS THE BEST PROPORTIONED YAMATO MADE SO FAR. IT IS AN OLDER 1/500 MODEL, IT HAS A LONG SHIP HULL, PROPORTIONALLY SHAPED. THE ONE IN THE PICTURE IS THE ヤマトよ永遠に VERSION.

HOWEVER, I DO NOT LIKE THE COLOUR THEY USED HERE.

THIS IS THE BEST COLOUR FOR YAMATO. THAT IS WHY THEY USE IT IN THE LATEST MOVIE 2009 THOUGH IN SOME SCENES, YAMATO IS IN DARK BLUE.

1/500 ヤマトよ永遠に VERSION. I AM NOT A FAN OF HEAVY WEATHERING AND I PAINTED THIS AS A DESKTOP DISPLAY PIECE. I DO NOT WANT IT TO LOOK TOO MODEL-LIKE OR PLASTIC, SO I PAINTED IT UNIQUELY DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS. I THINK THE DARKER GRAY BRINGS OUT THE RED AND THE WHITE (MARKINGS).

THE SAME 1/500 MODEL, MADE BY SOMEONE ELSE. HE USED WOODEN COLOUR FOR THE DECK.

THIS MODEL HAS THE BEST LOOKING WAVE MOTION CANNON SHIP BOW.

THIS IS A GIANT YAMATO SHIP. MANUFACTURER IS????

A GIANT LEGO YAMATO

1/500 SCRATCH-BUILT YAMATO. IT REPEATS BANDAI 1/350 MISTAKE IN MAKING THE SHIP LOOK SHORT. THE CREATOR ALSO HAS A PERSONAL STYLE OF 'ROUNDING". THE SHIP LOOKS ROUND. I DO GIVE CREDIT TO THE CREATOR FOR HIS HARD WORK SCRATCH-BUILDING THE SHIP. WELL DONE!

HE HAS ALSO SCRATCH-BUILT THIS ANDROMEDA. A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT VERSION FROM TV. MANGA VERSION???

IT JUST LOOKS SHORT AND BULKY.

....BUT IT IS QUITE DETAILED. THE ENGINE DESIGN IS DIFFERENT.

THE WAVE MOTION CANNONS ARE TOO SMALL.

MARMIT 大合金 ANDROMEDA, WEATHERING VERSION, THE BEST LOOKING SHIP IN ALL THE YAMATO SERIES, EVEN BETTER LOOKING THAN YAMATO HERSELF. JUST TOO BAD SHE DID NOT SURVIVE IN THE TV SERIES.

ANDROMEDA MODEL WITH LIGHTS

THE BEST MADE 超巨大戦艦（彗星帝国）MODEL WITH LEDS AND LIGHTS, WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WEATHERING.

THEN THERE IS THE ORIGINAL YAMATO. YAMATO WAS ONE OF THE TWO BIGGEST WARSHIPS EVER BUILT. 263 METER OVERALL LENGTH, COMMISSIONED IN 1941. SANK IN 1945. THERE WAS PLAN FOR SUPER-YAMATO BUT THE PLAN WAS ABANDONED.

SUPER-YAMATO CONCEPTUAL DRAWING.

THIS LOOKS LIKE GREAT YAMATO
