bhopper Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) For almost the first time ever I predicted something! New 1/1000 kit revealed, a Gatlantis Carrier! I think I'll have to buy one of these when it gets released. And now I assume the other ships will be released in the same scale too. Looking forward to it Edited September 26, 2014 by bhopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Agreed, the cruiser and destroyer are almost certain to be done, hopefully released as a two set Lot of investment in a bunch of models with pretty limited screen time. Hope its a sign we're going to see them more in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH2199 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I like how their ships look although they have just stuck 2 ships together (one on top of another)!!! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 not sure I like them as much as I do their other ships. The intake like things look very insectile - quite a move away from the normal elongated scoop look. Are these meant to replace the current class of astro-carriers and battleships or just add to the fleet? I hope they're not replacements as they don't look as mean, sleek and aggressive as the other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 These new ships represent a different alien empire by the name of White Comet Empire Gatlantis, they are a new player on the galactic scene and are an enemy to both Earth and Gamilas. These guys are green rather than blue and if memory serves they come from the Andromeda galaxy. These Gatlantis fellows are invading Gamilas space and making serious inroads, as they push through the weakened Gamilas fleet they will eventually run into Earth space and begin an invasion. We've seen them briefly in the series fighting the Gamilas navy and as PoWs in a Gamilas prison camp, and it looks like Earth and Gamilas will join forces in the new film to try and fight past an advanced guard from Gatlantis which is where I'm thinking these new models are from, tying into the film release Very insect look to them, which is a bit odd as the Gatlantis folks are just normal looking guys but with green skin I think the 'eyes' are a type of teleportation device but I could be wrong on that. If there is a second series the invasion of Earth space by Gatlantis was the big event including the best battles in the entire saga, hope this is a sign it'll happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 thank goodness for that - for a moment there, I thought the Gamilla's had lost their style Aren't the Gamilla's green skinned as well? How do you tell them apart - aside from the ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 More a shade of blue our Gamilas enemies/allies also significantly hairier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 oh dear - I seem to be having a "senior's moment" then. Why did I think they were green?!?! I need to stop drinking.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 There are one or two Gamilas folks who are a shade of green, technically you are right and as everyone knows 'technically right' is the best kind of right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misrule Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Wow, the tiny bridge crew is incredible Looks like he's recreating the first conflict between Yamato and the Domelaze. Yamato couldn't penetrate the Domelaz'es forward armour at range so had to get a bit closer.... Edited October 7, 2014 by Misrule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 There is a trailer now for the new film showing the next batch of green villains Also shows a green battlecarrier, so thats three confirmed variations on that ship now. nice For those who know the series, check out the Lambea, which shouldn't really be there at this point in the story. Looks like she may have survived her battle along with her commander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I had a couple of the Bandai 'Mecha' range of Yamato kits arrive from HLJ yesterday. Yamato herself and one of the triple deck carriers. For a kit costing less than £2 (AUS$3.50) they are very detailed and plenty of plastic, both having 5 sprues. Will post a few picks up over the weekend.

Madhatter Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Nice. I've been eyeing up a few of those little kits of late, but I have enough to do without another distraction Be a heck of a job to light one of these whose up for the challenge?

Madhatter Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I was in a hobby shop today looking for hard tipped cotton buds (or Q-Tips for the non Aussie's) and I saw the Garmillian mother ship kit - you know, the ship that has the core ship as a separate kit (I've forgotten the name for some reason...*cough - beer ... cough* I almost bought it - very cheap - $6.99 AU or about 3 quid. BUT - when I was at the counter, the bloke there said to me "Mate, I know you love your 2199 stuff, but turn around and check out what's on the shelf" So I did - and there was the Domelaze. The third. I almost did something in my pants, and had to have a peak inside! man that is a HUGE ship! I had an idea it would be pretty big, but pics on the net do not show you how really big this thing is! It's an awesome kit!! I got my wallet out and then asked how much. He told me and I put it back. $180.00 AU... Besides - there was no way in hell would I be able to sneak that box past the "Eagle Eyes" wife. But man - I sooo want it even more now that I've seen it in the plastic. However, when you look at it for some time, you can see where they could have designed it a bit more aggressively. I know it's been pointed out numerous times, but that front shaver nose just isn't doing it for me. Whilst I butter up the wife on a xmas gift idea, I'm thinking I might even have a crack at designing something myself. Of course, I would work on it properly before hacking up such an expensive kit..... I also kind of like the idea of adding some more fins to the rear of the ship. It doesn't have enough in the right places for me. Maybe I should get 2... and then get a family lawyer.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Maybe you can scratch a planet busting spinal cannon onto it like the dreadnought? Or given the sheer size make it double barrelled like the Earth flagship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) yeah - I do like that twin nosed ship. That was the mecha one I almost bought today. I should have - but I already walked out of there spending more than I wanted to. And I still didn't get my cotton buds!

Misrule Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I finally got my ancient camera back, one 90% done dreadnought.... Still need to blend the weathering in a bit, smooth off and sand some of the rougher paint Haven't worked on it for a while because this guy has been taking my time up Edited October 25, 2014 by Misrule 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
