1/144 Bismarck & Yamato

[Mossie]

Won the lottery?  Buy yourself one of these kits, a 1/144 Bismarck by Glow2B or a 1/144 Yamato by Soar Models.  Then kick the kids out of their rooms & tell them they can now sleep in the dog basket!

1/144 Bismarck 650 Euros (US$860)
1/144 Yamato US$5550 (4170 Euros)

Then kick the kids out of their rooms & tell them they can now sleep in the dog basket!

And tell them to get their own food in the future, cos with that pricetag, you cannot afford feeding them either

Dang, why can't I be independently wealthy?   Very nice looking kits.

If you buy and make one of these this monster beauties, make a good hinge for the deck/hull interface so your cadaver will look nice when your angry wife buries you in it!

Damn. Bismark is 1.7 meters long, and I am 1.9... thought i'd just found my ultimate coffin...

Just make sure your hair's short & bend your knees if you get a chest pain...

Or you could commision one from Ghana.  A funeral is seen as a celebrtion as well a time to mourn in Ghana so a decorative coffin is not uncommon.  Some of the builders have become well known & ship around the world.

Changed my mind - the ghanan fish coffin looks awesome!
Now that could be an interesting GB - build a model as a coffin!

[jcf]

So the Yamato is $5500 as a pre-order so they can make the moulds to produce the model? 

OoooKkkaaayyy

SOAR are the same mob that did the 35th scale Dora, and I know of at least 2 of those monsters that have been built here in the UK

Is this how Her Brown is kick starting the economy?? Using my pension pot for a couple of kits....oh ok Im in.

I swear, if I could, I'd sell a kidney to get one of each, and a mass of materials, and Whif them within an inch of their lives.  And then take over some space in the house to display my monstrosities of whiffery uberness.  Tirpitzski in 1/144 would have been seriously insane to do, and so damn awesome in concept.

But I have only one kidney, sadly, and thus I cannot.  Ah well, I can dream of a lottery win.
