Don't forget to have a wire center like Zinge does!

that is a very sensible addition....indeed!

That triple carrier and battleship are excellent. That's from an anime called Starblazers 2199? I need to find that and watch it. Now.

It will help with posing the cables, that's for sure, and a sweet thing in case of resin cracking.

Yes, I am waiting for complete set of the discs as they are presently slowly releasing individual disc with a few episodes, I will wait till all 26 DVD laid episodes are ready, I watched it at a anime site, but the Starblazers 2199 is the English version.
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is the Japanese name, I have almost all the ships they showed in the series as 1/1000 scale kits. The ships are built in sections, unlike the past where you had the single parts of a hollow shell with features stuck on said hollow plastic shell.

These things are pretty solid.

Thats a very good idea for resin anyway. I don't know about using it with one of the green-stuff cable rollers, although, I've always been rubbish at getting greenstuff and wires to get along happily.

I'd forgotten about Space Battleship Yamato, I'd been wanting to watch the live action film when I first heard it was being made, I'll have to remember to check it out never seen the anime.

it is on view at Youtube with sub titles.


Anime update is awesome!

Got my IG codex, other name sounds like a harry potter spell.

Veterans are safe, I just need to see how to work things out for Vasily so he is not a mere run of the mill sgt,

He was a mighty figheter with the Honorifica Imperialis
for the 5th ed I paid the extra points to use that one sgt's rules, the one that had the commands as well so as to spur the men on!

I have me some reading to do.


Oh and pulled out some models for touch ups and painting, besides Inspector General Romanov's party, i also have a side force of investigators he has also helped start up, Section N, these will be interesting minis and, I hope decent enough backgrounds on each when ready.
Of course pic of Romanov and his peeps first as I have paint work on them all to finish, and then Section N

Yes, the other name is rediculouso (watching Harry potter movies with my kids).

I'm tempted to pick up the nids codex to play around with my genestealers, then again I just might wait for mantic to put out the next version of warpath(heard whispers), and play with those rules as they are balanced, streamlined and fun. Plus if the new edition invalidates all the codicies, I'd be even more PO.

From the sound of it, the new edition ius adding more psyker phase, as well as combining base rules with the two compendiums, for the flyers and the strongholds as I have the flyers, I just have to find a copy of the other, I am not a big fan of psykers/magic phase as it is sci-fi warfare

Of course seems they are heading retro play style as to try and capture a new audience along with older fans

I've been catching up on Space Battleship Yamato via that website you recommended. I can't thank you enough for it. It's perfect. Starblazers without the girl singing.

Did you paint a Yamato? Now I need to go back thru the thread.

I have 33.3cm Yamato built, not yet painted other than the glass parts for the green tint.

No worries, glad to help another fan with the getting of the show. amazing update, and also more women on the new version. And some other twists and turns not sure what episode you last saw?
Oh there will be that emotive female singer later on....LOL! The Japanese and their icons!

I believe I'm up to episode 10. That was the last one I saw and I'm a little ambivalent about one of the twists already.

Ah yes Valhalla, had they not fired on the Garmillas, the Imperial representative likely would have simply told the UN to get ready to be a member planet under the controlling influence of the Greater Garmilas Empire, or be put down like dogs. Also, the man giving orders was shown in flashbacks to be a paranoid xenophobe and wanted us to fire first on alien ships of which he had no information on.

The Garmillas could also have easily not ripped apart the Earth fleet, but they also have that honor thing of "They fired on us, honor demands retribution"

Also consider that the Garmillas are also pretty much committing Exterminatus on Earth by the start of the show, they seem to have also been influenced by revelations from Battlestar Galactica where the colonials sending a spy fighter triggered the Cylons into aggression. But also Schultz speaking ot Bane was asking the question in an earlier episode, "Why didn't they simply surrender and join the Empire like we did instead of putting themselves through this?" Parahrasing, regarding Earth.

Having both Garmillas and Earth ships kits, I can see just how outclassed Earth was in regards to the Garmillas

The missile destroyers are puny 80meter ships, the Garmillas destroyers are as big as Earth patrol cruisers and faster, more maneouverable, better armed.

The Kirishima just made it the the size to the Destoria class heavy cruisers, and the Battleship Schultz is flying is a bit larger and armed more than the Yamato.

Skip the live action movie. Like all japanese films in the climax they have to stop for the main leads to have a talk about emotions... Hey guys the superweapon is en route to Earth, could you leave the I love you lots. No I love you more. talk for later

Oh at a later date, when I am better situated, less bills to cover, that is, I will get me some of the bikes and buggies, and other goodies I need for conversion work.

Live action movie I view as an alternate timeline, and also yeah, they get odd near the end.

Anime covers so much, and fleshes the story as both sides have people dealing with situations their leaders could have avoided had they thought things out more.
Garmillas names seem to be Germanic, and their society is kind of Imperial Germany in space.

Many japanese action movies love to do that in the climax. The Gantz live action did the same... the big 1000 arm Kanon/end game monster took a breather while the secondary lead died so he could have parting words with his love interest. Such a nice alien monster. UGH! It was not like that in the original manga but apparently japanese audiences can't live without it or something like that.

Okay, well as my Mecha "Not-Knights" got the final pieces, I will show all the results of the cabling of the weapons of the left hand.

The fist is a complex weapon systems, as the "hand" can open and also grab.

Cables are always a welcome addition to any model.

DO YOU LIKE PUNCHING THINGS? BECAUSE I CAN PUNCH THINGS TWICE WHEN I PUNCH THEM!

That's what I imagine from the super fisto.

Thought you might like the mad scientisty way the cables are connecting the weapons with the arms!

Khadrovian tech at it's finest!

Well, the cables also means controls, so hand controls for the actual mech hand return once the super fist is jettisioned due to extreme damage making it no longer functional, which is a LOT as the weapons are using the best armor possible for the job.

hmmmm! shows yet again why zinge is an amazing business man and his stuff looks never out of place... this ties your mecha´s into the GW models right in... the otherwise sleek look could have set them apart, but now that is fixed...

Great work with the cabling, really looks feasible now.

@anvildude, that's two black eyes for the price of one dude

Had to make them all wild and mad scientisty in looks.

Just the touch I was needing, and have cables for the Valken and valkenbooster models when I get them.

Nothing yet from Zinge on their thoughts of my use of the cables on the Mechas.

Thanks to you I've been immersing myself in Yamato 2199, but now I'm nearing the end, and I don't want to finish watching it, because then there won't be any more to watch!

It's really good.

Yeah, getting to the end of it all is kinda sad as you get really attached!

I am all stoked, this summer, the Domel Flag ship model is coming out for sale! 72cm of massive superdreadnought!




I would love to see Bandai make 1/48 scale battle tank and APC kist from the show those could be usaeable for my army then!
