Yep, and life will be better, and also more money per month if they acknowledge their damage to me and my heart through radiation exposure

But think of how much you save on electricity by glowing in the dark .

Now being exposed to radiation merely caused lopsided cell growth in the ticker, now glow effects. I do however mess with electronics and circuit meters and oscilliscopes and such from time to time

So you can work on a stealth team and knock out enemy sensor systems just by being there....cool.

I have to touch most of the circuits though, or be close enough for my field, I think my computer prefers me sitting 3ft away

It does look good, and I like the tie ins to SBY with the type 99 space pistol in the scenes there, same type of pistol from Space Battleship Yamato. And I saw what you did there, SBY-2199 is plastered all over Japan, hard to miss one of the biggest shows in Japan with all the advertising the re-invisioning of that show has had, and I think we may see more with the new Harlock movie. Just placed an order a few hours ago for the Yamato itself in 1/1000 scale, if will be 33.3cm long when built.

I have to hand it to Bandai, they made the build of these models such that they are strongly built almost liek real ships with all the "bulkheads" that are part of the kits as compared to the old kits of the 1980's which were simpler, hollow shells and easy to break apart, just the small bits can break off, but the majority of these kits will take a pounding during a move far better than older kits.

Stop pounding your ships.. even more ships?! 33 cm long... wow.. epic.

I'm totally not following your blog any longer. My wife threatened me with divorce if I were to buy the Yamato fleet and you with those gorgeous ships are not helping .

M.

Largest ships in my present fleet are 35cm, 38cm and 39cm, Yamato is the 33cm beast.

@Comrade, not looking to hurt my ships, just glad that when a move comes up, they can handle it.

@Miguelsan, Is hard to fight temptations like this!

I have added paint to end the over shiny effect of the colored plastic

I actually have a place to dock the ships once they are done and still look at them too. New shelf unit for the models!

So, now I have 40 stormtroopers, the command upogrades kit, and 3 x heavy weapons teams kits, the Leviathan, the left arm cannon, the cooling capacitor and lighting kit all in one locale, now to see when they release the Hannomags.

Also, ordered and got a bunch of Red-Blok walkers in, and yes, one is the Dotch Yaga!

The problem with empty shelving is the need to fill it...

Ooo walkers.

I am arguing with myself internally as to leave the AT-43 walkers as is, and explain the different pattern of camo, or just do my own camo and decal them as the other units have been, and maintain unity of theme?

Leave them as is for now, they are the remnants of a destroyed guard army that have recently been combined into your platoons. The camouflage they have will get repainted to match yours, the request paperwork is just tied up in imperial red tape.

So, there is a vote for the leaving 'em be for the time being, they are in winter camo, WW-II Russian style 2 color, Olive and white, and an Oxide red-olive color,

You make it sound like your waiting for more votes.....you should know by now mines the only one that counts .

Thanks Cam, the next part will be painting it and the other big carrier, I did find out the tri-decker is for early 2014 release, so I just have to wait till next year for the ability to make a green/blue/lavender colored carriers, as the green one launcehed interceptors, the blue one launched torpedo bombers, and the lavender one had the space stukas. LOL!

Green Carrier launches


Blue carrier launches


Lavender colored carrier launches space stuka!

Funny enough, today was the last episode of Yamato.

My source still has just episode 1-22 and has yet to get 23-26, I want to see it all so much! Yamato itself in the 1/1000 scale arrived earlier so i have that but they were sold out of Type 52 cosmo zero for Yamamoto's fighter, I got Kodai's Type 52, and Kato and Shinohara's type 99 fighters

The space stukas look great, and the carrier is interesting, not sold on how the decks stack, but maybe with the paint on it might change my mind.
