Got this kit in the afternoon, 3' long, it's time for me to build some ships.


From just looking on the plastic, I know this will not be an easy task. Target = 3 months.

lots of injection pin marks


manage to build a bit today

Its freaking big... damn... You make me feel like wanna open my Yamato...

Anyway, I can see there is alot of thing need to be cleanup. Keep us posted, man!

isit the arii Yamato, diffrent scale but about the same size, not all things are glued, just to see some shape...hehe

Nope, Tamiya's Yamato together with the LionRoar PE set from MH. :D

BV,
looks like you are a very brave modeller to start Ship building with this....

Agree. When I saw the part already feel like wanna pengsan. :D Solute, you are real challenger. :lol:

Loo, Chris,

Totally agree,

Wondering how much should I charge the owner...? I know this is a bad kit...

maybe it's the time for me to push my self to another level.

what shall I call this? mould marks?


clean with TMY router


sanded smooth


there's even more, or should I say...everywhere; anywhere. and this is just in one part.


is the mould designer trying to make modelling a difficult task?


sink holes!!! same part.

I think this is one might be the worst kit I've ever build, just look at the clean-up that I need to do...injection pin marks everywhere. the worst kit I build so far is the wsn German Type XXI U-Boat, but so far this kit can take the No. 1 place.










they even mould numbers here and there,

i can only say.. "add oil" :P

distorted...


all I can say to my self is...smiles...build the darn thing..


After finishing sanding any puttying... I'm so so tired. when I dry fit this baby, it's huge, makes me fell better.


the background is the 2 naval subject that I've done.

thanks for viewing, C&C are always welcome. I have questions here..

1. What color should I use for WWII destroyer?
2. what's the color for the camo?

thanks, or add Jet fuel....er...better rocket fuel

Or just chuck it and get Revells 1/144 Fletcher

ahh.. i see u've got a "solution" for yourself


that little sweaty black/gold tin.. :lol:

hehe, took 2 of those during the build, to make my self forget the tension..

yaa its the best fuel for mankind.

Phew, good luck bro...but Im sure youll work it out :D

USS Melvin DD 680 colours:

US Navy colour schemes can be found HERE

MS 12 scheme was used for Melvin - HERE and HERE

Hope this helps!

Leong,

totally agree :P

Shah, thanks for the links, I will study it when I back home, now still working..I'm familiar with Gunze color, any specific color code?

thanks

Keep it up BV!

Talking bout the black/gold thingy... I just attended their party at 1U, really a fun party. (Opps OT!)

Anyway, I just wondering how much time you taken to tackle all the sink holes and pin marks...

did some sanding on the pinmarks and sink hole, toooooo tedious and ended up watching DVD
