Yamato japanese battleship

Hi here!
Here's the few pics of my selfdesigned "Yamato". We have done all the computer modeling. AutoCAD + custom written programs for developing the flat surfaces form 3D model.



«Yamato». Scale 1:300, our "pride" .



Bow.



Superstructures, closer.



Guns are made of wood and the are able to rotate



Stern guns are rotating too



Rangefinder, funnel.



Another view.

Detailed and clean model. Is a little small inaccuracies in the shell plating, but it looks great boat.

I do believe it is not very difficult - it is simply big. There are too many anti aircraft guns in this Yamato final incarnation - it can be a boring part in assemble. too many of them and all of them are the same - it borin g a bit

Oh, Yes it is.
Build a model of the finished cut-out is easy. To design such a large model is an art.
