Building Bandai's Space Battleship Yamato 2199 宇宙戦艦ヤマト 

sorry my englishe is not very great. I think Japan must be very nice country with very nice peoples. I have friend from japan called hiro, we drink beer together in pub every night

Thanks!

That was my favorite show as a child growing up in u.s.a. star blazers was amazing. I remember getting the chills every time they fired the Wave motion Gun and The cruelty of the Gamalons.

Japanese models are always better I have yf- 25 that I am putting together

yamato and legend of the galactic heroes are my 2 favorite shows!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I agree. This is not finished until it has the lighting kit add to it.

I was thinking the same , Icing on the cake with Led's , would look great

I searched online for a light kit but I can't find it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dave There’s an Australian company that makes LEGO led kits and you can order custom lighting setups from them. Can’t recall the name but Google should get you there.

Thank you. :) I just try to make the sort of videos I enjoy watching.

Thank you!

Thanks. :) Yeah it's difficult to know when to stop sometimes, thanks for the feedback!

Awesome, glad it was useful!

Thank you!

Heh, if only I had the hair!

Nah, you're fine. I just can't believe you've never seen Star Blazers I thought everyone had that is around my age (40)

Of course, you might not be as old lol

He only needs the "chia hair" to be Bob Ross. Of course, there have been visual comparisons between Bob Ross and bichon frise, too... At least they're nice dogs!

Haha, you should check out the channel Paint on Plastic by Lincoln Wright. He may be british but his voice just makes me want to curl up with some happy trees... and give them a wash coat and some filters.

Wow that's great! Thank you. :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Thank you! How long is the 1/350 scale version? Must be huge!

ModelChili Scale Models, it is just shy of 3 feet long!

I never liked the 1/350 scale

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! Yeah it's right up there with all the modern Bandai kits in terms of quality. Definitely recommended.

ModelChili Scale Models waw I see you answer all question there :v

Thank you! It's an awesome ship.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Very informative, thanks for that!

You're welcome! That's the little bit I know about Yamato myself. Yes, the show was named after the famous SUPER Battleship that was sunk in World War II. IJN Yamato was the largest battleship ever built but NOT invulnerable. Like its sister ships, it passed into legend... It was only in the early 1980s that the wreck was discovered by a Japanese research group. Its sister ship, Musashi, was discovered a few years ago by a group funded by Paul Allen I believe. The third ship, Shinano -- which was modified into an aircraft carrier, has not been rediscovered -- yet. They have a general idea of where it sank but when the ocean gets to at least 20,000 feet depth in places, it's like looking for a needle within a haystack within a haystack. You really can't rely on the coordinates recorded during battle -- they're a starting point, not an absolute. There are many, many wrecks from World War II that have to be rediscovered. It all takes time, money, and a lot of good research... It helps when they have legends and great general interest surrounding them like the wreck of the Titanic did. Even then, technology had to catch up before that liner was rediscovered... The Yamato has quite a legend itself in Japan and is probably the most famous and beloved fighting ship in Japanese history. The name is to Japan what the Enterprise (CV-6 and later CVN-65) is to the US Navy... I have seen BOTH of the dubs of the first two seasons of Space Battleship Yamato a long, long time ago. I saw them back in 1991 or 1992. I saw a little bit of the third season, called "The Bolar Wars" in the US, but wasn't impressed. It was pretty forgettable! I HAVE all (six of?) the original Yamato theatrical films through Final Yamato subtitled on DVD (Voyager Communications release, officially authorized) but have not watched them yet. I have read Final Yamato, the final film in the original series, has or had the record for being the longest anime feature on record... which is NOT a good thing! Japanese films have a reputation for having very deliberate (re: SLOW) pacing. I have seen bits and pieces of Yamato 2199 online and it seems decent to me but it's something that I probably would have to sit down and watch over a few days and NOT weeks. It's that type of show. If you want to own whole series of Yamato 2199, you'll have to get it online... Nobody outside of Voyager has licensed it and I already told how well that release went off! The legal copy of it costs in the order of $300 over 6-7 Blu ray/DVDs. Fortunately, the Japanese volumes do have English subtitles. I have seen the live-action Yamato (2010) feature from a few years back and I liked it... I saw it online first -- NOT hard to find, btw(!) -- and eventually bought it when it was released on an economical (cheap!) Blu ray in the US. It's a film I prefer to watch subtitled... I did NOT care for the English dub track... they're usually ridiculous on live-action films. The actress who played Yuki Mori in the film was particularly memorable and VERY hot-looking, IMHO... I would classify the live-action Space Battleship Yamato as a budget title. That's what gets most people. They don't understand that Japan does NOT have the financial resources within its entertainment to do $150million-$200million budgeted films like Hollywood. What they CAN and DO often achieve on fractions of those mega-budgets is still impressive... Closest European equivalent in recent history would be Iron Sky (2012) which I also liked. Both films Yamato and Iron Sky were made for under $70 million each... Yamato was closer to $40million I think... Yamato (2010) does show signs of budgetary reasons with the special effects and the way they handled the relationship between the villainous aliens and Earth's alien helpers. That turned a lot of people off... I understand they did this for budgetary reasons AND to keep the film's running time around two hours (which I appreciated!). Still, the live-action film accomplished its goal and told the original anime's story fairly well, IMHO. Oh, and it definitely did NOT leave room for a sequel... NOT happening with that cast, LOL! Oh, and the lead for Yamato (2010) was the same Japanese actor who did the voice for Howl in the anime feature, "Howl's Moving Castle." I KNEW I heard that guy's voice somewhere before! Hahahahaha.

I watched the whole 2199 series. I was sceptical because it was all Japanese, and I usually dont like reading subtitles. But I enjoyed the story so much, that I totally forgot, they were speaking Japanese. I heared they are working on a new Yamato 2202 series, hopefully it will be just as good.

AvengerII + Upjohn,o,

It can be shorter. SBY 2199.... MOTHERFUCKING WW2 IN SPACE. ALIEN SCUM VS OP HACKER YAMATO AND HOT ALIEN PILOT

If you have seen the 2199 series that the model is based on (not first TV series), there were few occasions where the ship scraped badly against other ship&rammed into a building head first. On each occasion, you could see scrape mark for at least an episode following the "incidents." My interpretation of streaks on the box art would from those scratches (=the art is drawn in "return trip," not on the way)

Space ships in this universe also spend much of their time submerged underwater. As that is where they are stored when being overhauled, decommissioned, or just plain laid up between wars. New ships are also symbolically launched into the sea before immediately being launched into space. So the weathering makes a lot of sense. And well space is a very dusty place overall... So spaceships WILL pick up their fair share if dirt and grime.

there,s no weather in space, yes its a spacecraft

Yeah there is, space is full of gas, dust, debris, solar wind, radiation...

As updated as it is, original series was "Space Opera" NOT SciFi where a disabled "space ship" goes from top of screen to bottom of screen while spewing out smoke. Translation, live with it. :-p

Thank you!

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

That was changed in 2199. Now, the old IJN Yamato is camoflage for the construction of the SBY underneath it. The 2199 Yamato is also larger than the old original SBY. The original was 267m in length. The 2199 Yamato is 333m. It was enlarged based on calculations of the size of the first bridge on the original SBY. The producers felt the original ship's first bridge was bigger inside than the outside would indicate. So, they took the apparent measurement of the first bridge and designed the new Yamato around it.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

I swear, NEXT next time... 🙏

Thanks! Wow sounds fun, I hope you get paid for it! :D

Amazon is charging $288 because of price gougers. Go to Hobby Link Japan and get it for $84 instead.

Muy buen trabajo

Thanks 😁

Cheers! Thanks for watching. :)

My pleasure. :)

Yeah I primed the red sections with Tamiya White Primer from a spray can, the grey sections were primed with Tamiya Grey Surface Primer. I only did some black preshading on the grey sections.

ModelChili Scale Models thanks

Thanks :D

Nice!

Thanks!

It is a fit-together kit and designed to not need any glue, but I used some on some of the smaller spikes just to stop them popping off.

Are a lot of the Yamato model kits a "fit-together" type? I bought, one of the Girls Und Panzer tank model kits last year, and that required a lot of glue for it.

All the bandai Yamato 2199 kits are "fit-together" type. The Cosmo zero fighter 1/72 scale didn't require any glue, and I've yet to assemble the 1/1000 scale Yamato but looking at the instructions it doesn't say you need glue. Happy modeling

Yep, but I don't see anything wrong with that. :p

It's a classic space anime, story is EPIC, 22 out of 10 would recommend double thumbs up +1 like and kudos bar on top. Ghale Garmillon ! Mayor Fuglycool

It's not the live action movie version. It's from the 2013 remake of the original animated series: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vV0x4XHdbyc.html. I can highly recommend watching this, if you like sci-fi stuff.

the old stuff still holds up and is worth watching if you get a chance,

Glad you liked it!

そんなのも多いけど合わせ目など良くお考えの上、使用した方がいい There are a lot of such things, but it is better to use it on the idea of the match well, etc.

No it doesn't require paint, all parts are molded in the right colours. I just painted mine to add a bit more detail.

False, the model needs painting

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!
