Mark Aldrich Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 After seeing Evgeni's gorgeous real world Yamato, it reminded me that I had a 1/500 Starblazers version that I might break out. Does anyone know of a maker or brass barrels for any Yamato kit? I saw Fuji's hop up and I can't see spending $300 plus bucks just for barrels and maybe some railing. ANy help is greatly appreciated.

LesWalden Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Mark, Try Griffin. They do make barrels. Eduard or Aber might have something too. You're coming closer to the light Mark. Come closer, and closer and you will find peace of mind. :) On second thought, check with Roger. He does all that "big gun" stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurf Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I used some brass tubes in one of those "grab bags" they sell at Hobby Town stores, worked just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Simon, Very nice!!! Is that the 350 or the 500? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Simon, Very nice!!! Is that the 350 or the 500? Mark Just the small 1/500th Bandai version. Not the best kit they make, and that HUGE 1/350th makes me drool! If I'm lucky, one day I will get a client that wants one built, that sucker has motorized everything! Thanks for the praise Mark! It had Flashing main Guns effect, lighting inside and out, and a very cool firing forward Cannon circuit. Lots crammed into a tiny kit, it was around 12 or 13 inches long, something like that. Those "Grab Bags" are really nice, if you choose the ones which have a lot of brass tubes, it can really be the cheapest way to get Gun Barrels. I also get Brass Tubes at the hardware store and cut them myself, that would be the second cheapest way. And they last through many projects. Hope that's helpful!
