We All Live In A Yellow Submarine!

#1 Post by Racer X »

Well, more or less...

Omitted the flat stickers, printed out decals for the large emblems on the sail, on starboard and port sides and the Jolly Roger.
The rest is fully painted.

And you still can split it in half and display it as a waterline model. Cool design, really.

I've built a couple kits from that series. They're perfectly engineered, and fun subjects. Yours looks really good!

Thanks! Which ones did you get?
Can you recommend these?

I've built 01 Thousand-Sunny, 02 Trafalgar-Law's Submarine, and 05 Moby-Dick. Not as nicely as you built the sub, though; I just cut the pieces off the trees, applied the stickers (a million stickers!), and assembled them. Very relaxing thing to do on a Sunday night.

They all went together perfectly, and I could recommend any of them; you'll just have to pick the ones you like best :)

I'll go for the Moby Dick, then.
Thanks!
"Relaxing", yeah, that's it. For an adult. I think for a kid applying all these stickers might be a real challenge.

Really nice.
Like the anime a lot, and have thought about grabbing some of the kits.
Now I might be a bit more inclined to grab a few.

Same here - I'm not a fan of the anime but I dig the ships' designs.
So when these kits were issued first a few years ago I was interested, but then, well, I couldn't make up my mind.
So when in may this year a dealer at a con had several for sale and I actually had the chance to look inside the boxes, it was a no-brainer.
These are beautifully engineered, full of detail and the claim on the box is true: It's easy to clip the parts off the sprue without a side cutter or something.
