Thank you Martin! It took 2050 hours! The kit had a lot of seams in complicated areas. I way underestimated the amount of work Yamato required. The AA guns ate a lot of time.

1,708 days between your first post and your last. Awesome, awesome work Joe. Can't wait to see her in person in Omaha later this year.

Time to wrap up my Yamato build thread. Here are some final pictures with it mounted to the base. The case is from Grandpa's Cabinets. Thank you all for encouraging me on this long journey!

Really nice, extremely detailed and realistic reproduction of the ship. I like the absence of weathering and the museum-style approach. Sometimes, indeed, the weathering covers mistakes and lack of detail. It is quite difficult to achieve such kind of result!!! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Looks like Joe's efforts were worth it, as he took a first place in his category, Best Ship and Judges Best in Show at the recent Madison Region 5 Model Contest/Convention show, put on by the Mad City Modelers.
