The Madhatter Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hi guysI thought I would share my latest build to come off my benchIts 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 betterI 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 tooI think that's plenty of pics for now, but as always, thanks for looking inSi Shawn M, spacewolf, F`s are my favs and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggTim Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Great job! Always liked that ship, but I never understood what all the little wingy thingies sticking out of it were for. Anyone know? The Madhatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Thanks very much guys! NOICE !! How big is it ?.....Harv 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 Si BloorwestSiR, TorbenD, Dragon and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Really cool stuff here, I like it. The Madhatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 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. Carl The Madhatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the much smaller Mecha Colle version to do at some point. Carl 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madhatter Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
