SBY 1/1000 Andromeda


The Madhatter

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

I thought I would share my latest build to come off my bench
Its my take on the Andromeda. It has a lot of added surface detail and my own lighting (I didn't use the kit supplied stuff - too toy like for my tastes)
I scratch built the engine nozzle  as well as I really didn't like the standard kit variant. I based it on the live action Yamato version and IMO looks way better
I am still working on the base for it which will house 3 ships to start with, with room for a Dreadnought to go on as well. I'll shoot some lighting pics of her later tonight and post them up too

Thanks very much guys!

 

NOICE !! How big is it ?.....Harv :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

 

It's about 40 cm long all up

 

Well, here are the lit shots. I had a minor emergency with this as I couldn't get the lights to work. I had to break it open to get inside to see what was wrong. As it turned out, the main power lead hadn't been soldered on properly and it had come off completely. As a result of not doing things right the first time, I now have to replace a missing greebly from the back end and fabricate one of those little sensors from one of the rear guns. Fixed the lighting though!

That's all I have sorry. I did take more but they weren't worth showing.

Once I have my fleet base all done I'll include some pictures of that too

Thanks very much for stopping by and having a look

Great looking Andromeda there. I like the new nozzle and the colour variation you did.

 

Do you think you'll do the Alderbaran?

 

I have the much smaller Mecha Colle version to do at some point.

Not likely - this one was enough. I have started work on the Garmilla set 3 which has the UX-01 included as well as Melda's fighter. I like the cruiser the best though - it has such aggressive lines to it and is one of the best looking ships in the Garmilla's arsenal. One of these days I'll take a group shot of all my SBY ships as I've done a few now.

Great job! Always liked that ship, but I never understood what all the little wingy thingies sticking out of it were for. Anyone know?

 Are you referring to the wings up front or the fins at the rear? From what I have gathered, the rear ones are meant to be sensors and the wings up front are to help stabilize the ship in atmosphere. But who really knows? I just think they put them there just to look cool! :D
