Building of huge hull - Yamato 1:200
- Thread starter Highlander
- Start date
I had to use 2 cans of spraypaint to get my Daring hull to look like that, but yours still looks way better... awesome stuff!
Awesome indeed!

Just wondering...what's that little pole sticking out of from under the hull?

I'm with you on that. It's perhaps the most perfect formed hull in paper I have seen here without sanding and painting the skin. :thumb:
After long breake there is a progress:mrgreen:

Hi Highlander!
I noticed something, the number of longtitudinal hull formers seems to be more than the ones present in the kit? Is this your own modification? I also noticed that you have placed a large flat piece of cardboard at the bottom of the ship. This is also not in the instruction of the 1/200 Halinski Yamato.
Do you have a site where you got this technique or is this your own technique for a smooth hull?
I also have a 1/200 Halinski Yamato and noticed the difference between Halinski's by the book instructions and your technique of building and getting such a beautiful smooth hull. :thumb:

Yes, there is longtitudinal formers added under the board.

Yes, I designed this for flat part of the bottom, it gives very good result.

It's my idea to get a smooth hull, after seeing hulls filled with foam, I tryed to get a hull "paper only"
The very first try it was Akitsushima from Answer

Thanks for the quick reply and the explanations! :thumb:
I hope that I can do your technique in one of my future builds to get a smooth hull with only paper and no foam or stuffing inside.
You're so good with your modifications. it's so impressive! :thumb:
Another question!
In the Akitsushima thread in the link you posted, aside from the formers, there are smaller formers added that are glued to the side of the hull formers.
Pic taken from the Akitsushima thread
In the first pic, you can see "kit formers" that are marked with the kit patterns and the gray ones which I assume are the ones that are smaller and to be glued beside the "Kit formers"
How did you measure as to what size/how small the "inner formers" are to be in your Yamato hull.
What patience you have to do these secondary formers! wow...

I've only just found this thread, but I'll be watching like a hawk from now. The hull is a stunning piece of work.

Leszek,
Thanks so much for posting more pictures on this build. I've been thinking about this one quite a bit since I first saw it. I'm really impressed, still blows me away what can be done with paper!
