Hi guys
I was perusing the shelves of my LHS the other day and I came across this new looking kit from (of all companies) Bandai.
It is the self described Astro Battleship/Carrier from the Space Battle Ship Yamato 2199 series. It looks much better than some of the earlier Yamato series ships. I was quite drawn to the sleek lines of this ship and it's almost how I would envision a space carrier to look like
I am currently thinking up ways to detail it up and of course light it. The carrier deck looks easy enough to light, but the engines look quite challenging to say the least
It comes with another 2 ships - for which I have no idea of their use let alone type. I'm sure an avid fan of the series would be able to tell me...
First up, the parts:
and the instructions book. It is entirely in Japanese, but the pics speak for themselves, so I won't need a translator :)
this will be the version I'll do:
Not sure when I'll start it though.
As I said, I'm not normally into this kind of sci-fi, but I really like the design of this ship.
It was a little bit expensive though - $69.99 AU but I think it'll make a worthy subject. I might do a WIP if anyone is interested.
Let me know what you think if this ship - good or bad :)
