1/1200 IJNS Yamato gets some TLC ... highlighting

Three sisters (IJNS Yamato [bottom], IJNS Shinano [middle], IJNS Mushashi [top]):


The Yamato (right) gets some highlight work done (see below [right]), I decided to plane her aircraft white as per the Shinano 'air group'. The Mushashi's (see below [left]) planes are painted green, so at a glance I can tell the models apart!


Just playing around with the camera seeing them sideways from above. To highlight I added Tamiya Nuetral Grey XF-53 to the Games Workshop Adeptus BattleGrey, then added some Anita's Acrylics Cream White:


And then skewed at an angle (Yamato [top], Mushashi [bottom]):


It's a nice feeling now the battleships are done! I'll have to do the same to the Shinano now ;)

Looking very impressive. Are you intending to game with these?

Good Question

The why

Tabletop use, very limited though a battle between the two Yamato's and two Iowa's has its appeal

The more feasible battle is the Denmark Straight and the Channel Dash

;)

I paint them mainly to try and make them look beautiful and because they are there ;)
