    The Master-at-Arms at "Snipes Castle" in Great Lakes, IL, c. 1969, had a model of Yamato he'd built from scratch. It was about six feet long. I don't think the detail was a great at the one above, however.

    Wow. That's around 1000 Canadian? It should come with it's own Geisha girl.

    Looks great!

    But, for that size scale, I'd want to r/c it, but that looks to be next to impossible with the way it is built and the materials it's made of.

    I wonder how it compares to Nichimo's 1:200 scale Yamato.

    If one had some 1/250 scale ships of Taffy 3, it would turn tail and run........
