Hi all,

It looks like Jumpei Mitsui has started a huge project to build a fig-scale Battleship Yamamoto. You may remember his previous model at a smaller scale, and a space version. Anyway, the hull on this new version is a thing of beauty.

Thank you for your introduction of my project, Bruce.

This is my biggest challenge and still under construction.

1/40 Battleship YAMATO

It’s minifig scale, and it will come to 6.5m (21ft).

It has passed 2 years since I began to build, and about one third of all is made.

This ship is still being built. I’ll need a lot of time for completing this work, but I’m going to build this step by step.

I will add some photos from time to time.

I have already built a few works for YAMATO.

		Is 1:40 minifig scale? (was Project YAMATO)
(...) Is 1:40 minifig scale? I'd like to ellicit a wide number of opnions because I'm just about to start building a (much smaller) minifig scale model.

(...) Jumpei, That is beautiful. Truly a thing of utter beauty. I am currently planning out a true-minifig-scale model of the battleship Fuso ca. 1944, though I am going closer to 1:35 scale given that minifigs are not truly to human propor- tions. (...)
