First, Some background: In this anime from 1973, the Earth has been rendered practically impossible to live on, with humanity losing a war to evil aliens who have destroyed our entire space force, and are bombarding our planet with radioactive asteroids. We get a message from another group of aliens, from the Greater Megallanic Cloud, providing plans for an FTL drive and saying they will give us a device that can rejuvinate our planet. To save time, the "star force" decides to convert an old, sunken battleship (The Yamato from the Second World War) into a spaceship, and go to get the "cosmic DNA device" (which can fix our planet.) What I want: a model of this (IMHO) really cool looking ship (If you want to make it a vehicle, that's cool too, but don't work yourself too hard, for someone who you don't know :P) Pictures/information: [img]http://www.shipschematics.net/yamato/images/edf/battleship_yamato.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.starblazers.com/images/gallery_images/Cosmo%20Tigers.JPG[/img] [url]http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=58795[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Battleship_Yamato_(spaceship[/url]) [url]http://www.starblazers.com/gallery.php?page_id=6[/url] [url]http://groups.msn.com/AllThingsYamatoStarBlazers/pilotfilm.msnw?Page=7[/url] [url]http://groups.msn.com/AllThingsYamatoStarBlazers/dwsstuff.msnw?[/url] [url]http://groups.msn.com/AllThingsYamatoStarBlazers/iskandarmanga.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=5371action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=5225[/url] [url]http://www.starblazers.com/html.php?page_id=156[/url]

Motherfucker that is awesome. Seriously, someone model this. Just for the sheer epic of it.
God I remember watching this show as a kid on VHS. I feel old now... and nostalgic... but it feels oh so good. :happytears:
Although it's not likely to happen (modeling that'd be a nightmare, it seems), it does look epic. Good luck guys!

Jesus tittyfucking Christ, yes. Do it do it do it do it do it.
This would be epic if it was made i also remember watching this show while i was a kid.
Wouldn't this be more worthwhile if it was made into a map, cause by the looks of it, it's pretty fucking huge.

Who crapped in your coffee, was just a suggestion towards a much more worthwhile alternative.
