| (...) This is an AWESOME MOC!! I can't believe it hasn't gotten more attention. (There again if your not familiar with the anime Starblazers you may not be able to appreciate the model as much). I hope the builder shows more detailed photos...GREAT (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Granted that is not much differnent than a modern day naval ship, but the sheer scope of it is amazing. Proof that a MOC doesn't need SNOT to look awesome, it just helps :-) -Mike Petrucelli (URL) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Re: The Yamato

| (...) IIRC one of the defining things about Star Blazers is that the spaceships in the story actually ARE modern day naval ships (or reasonable facsimiles), made spaceworthy and lanuched. But I could be wrong. (URL) that helps. (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Yamato
|
| (...) Yeah I just got done reading some stuff from a web search, thanks for the link though. It actually is the Yamato from WWII repaired and upgraded as a space ship. Interesting. Also the model that started this thread would be about mini-fig (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| (...) At the peril of being seen as argumentative, that is not correct. In order to be minifig- scale, it would have to be between 27 and 30 *feet* in length, perhaps a touch longer. _Takao_ was 13'0" in length, and was still "compressed" by about (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)

| (...) Well, maybe some people will get all argumentative over it, but I welcome corrections when people have more info than I do. (...) I guess it looked bigger than that to me at first. (...) LOL. (...) Thanks. -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | Re: The Yamato
|
| (...) I love it! Then again I've always been a Star Blazers fan :-) Oh if Capitan Avatar could see this! Does anyone here know the guy who made this? I'd certainly enjoy reading his words on this build. Adr. (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Yamato
|
| (...) Just curious: Has anyone ever done a single 30' MOC? (Excluding things like track layout, etc, and the LEGO Group) Whether Space, Castle, whatever? Mike "Questions, questions, questions! Modern minds can come up with three questions. Peasant (...) (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| (...) Impressive statistics...but if a model looses its "swooshability" around 2-3 feet in length, I would imagine that much over 6-8 feet it looses some of it's "minature coolness". Thats just my thoughts...If he can stick in a few minifigs, it (...) (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)

| (...) Awww, shucks. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you or any of the other Faraway Visitors™ who came--believe me, if there had been any way I could have done it, I would have. But in the event, the Fulbright kinda precluded it. It's the one really (...) (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)

| (...) Although I wish you nothing but scholastic success Lindsay, I must admit that is would be almost worth it to see the fleet (and it's shipwright) one year earlier. ;) Cheers & best of luck, -Gil (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)
| | | | | More Photos Up (was Re: The Yamato)
|
| (...) Looks like more pictures from its creator have come up; I just caught this on Brickshelf. Really good photos of hull construction. (URL) That was cool of Jumpei to post pics of what went into creating this marvelous work. Adr. (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
