In addition, most of the [[blog:models:yamato:index#paint_list|original paint sets]] are bespoke to the line and are out of production: <imgcaption oem_parts|OEM paint set CS883>{{:blog:models:yamato:gucs883_box.jpeg?300|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption oem_colours1|OEM colours>{{:blog:models:yamato:75219.jpeg?350|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption oem_colours2|OEM colours>{{:blog:models:yamato:cs883_sample.jpg?300|}}</imgcaption> ... as well as ... <imgcaption oem_parts2|OEM paint set CS885>{{:blog:models:yamato:cs885_box.jpg?300|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption oem_colours3|OEM colours>{{:blog:models:yamato:cs885.jpg?220|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption oem_colours4|OEM colours>{{:blog:models:yamato:cs885_sample.jpg?320|}}}</imgcaption> The colours used for this set are broadly the same as for [[:blog:models:yamato:gss_2202|Great Imperial Garmillas Astro Fleet Warships Set 2202]], with a few additions for the battleship. == Gaiderol Battleship == ^ Section ^ Recommended Colour ^ Selected Colour ^ Notes ^ | Battleship upper hull green +\\ Destroyer main hull green | **YC07** \\ or \\ **YC08** \\ or\\ IJA Green H60 +\\ Interior Green H58 +\\ Bright Green H26 +\\ White H1 (40:30:20:10) | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color IJN Mitsubishi Green (A.MIG-0265) +\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Mitsubishi Interior Green (A.MIG-0270)\\ or\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Pale Green (A.MIG-0060) +\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Mitsubishi Interior Green (A.MIG-0270) | IJN/Mitsubish Green A.MIG-0060 is a //lighter// green (more yellow?) than Pale Green A.MIG-0265. \\ This __broadly__ corresponds to **YC07** and **YC08** options.

A __small__ number of //very tiny// Garmillas markings for the ships. {{:blog:models:yamato:gss_wss_2:img20251001154501.jpg?200|}} ==== In Progress Images ==== The first kit to be built up was the Gaiderol-class battleship. This is a dry build - no sanding or nub-mark cleanup, pegs pushed in loosely and a lot of the final, very delicate parts not yet attached. The engine intakes are left out as I hope to try and paint them off the kit, and refit later. Panel detail is excellent, but the kit is actually pretty simple to build (about 30-40 minutes to get to the state shown below); mainly constructed from large, well-moulded parts and with almost all of the seam/join lines hidden by intentional panel lines. The kit builds into a //loooong// model: {{:blog:models:yamato:gss_wss_2:img20251002194925.jpg?500|}} The two included Kripitera destroyers are identical to the single ship included in the [[:blog:models:yamato:gss_2202|Garmillas Warships 2202]] set, but comes with a unique two-post display base. Again these are quite simple to build - the two of them are probably took less than 25 minutes in total: {{:blog:models:yamato:gss_wss_2:img20251003171721.jpg?400|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:gss_wss_2:img20251003171733.jpg?400|}} The battleship is approximately 35cm long - substantially larger than the other ships when placed next to them. Side by side it's a monster: {{:blog:models:yamato:gss_wss_2:img20251003171833.jpg?500|}} Of course, all of these now need to be taken apart again and cleaned off and sanded properly before primer. As with the other ships I'm going to try and paint the engine intakes //separately//, before they get installed. Next up is the Garmillas tank - actually bigger than it appears in manufacturer images, and //much// closer in scale to a 1:72 Panzer IV or something similar. ==== Finished Images ==== ---- [[:blog:models:yamato:index|Back to Space Battleship Yamato series index]] blog/models/yamato/gss_2.txt Last modified: 2025/10/07 12:48by john
