... our Star Blazers!

Woot!

@professorjonathan: That's Drek "Wildstar". And didn't it suck the way the American version had the space marines killing "robot drones" in the tanks. In Japan there was blood and everything. We poor sheltered Americans.

@adrunkenmonkey: Derek Wildfire, I think. I once saw a Japanese-only episode from the season after the ones we got in the U.S., where the robot lifted Nova's skirt as she leaned over on the bridge. Good times, good times. :)

This kind of reminds me of that time my uncle Fred decided that he'd build a boat in the garage from a kit and he got the biggest one he could get and it took up almost all the space in the garage and you had to kind of squeeze past it, which was hard to do 'cause it took a long time and also because by the time you grabbed the rake and squeezed past it again you were pretty wonky from all the epoxy fumes, but when it was done and ready for rigging uncle Fred had to get it out into the driveway it turned out that the boat was too big to fit through the garage door by a few inches on each side and when he tried to twist it a little to get it through it was too tall for the doorway even after he took off the garage door and he cussed a lot as he settled on sawing notches in the sides of the doorway as my aunt Phyllis laughed her ass off from the back porch, snapping pictures with the instamatic to send to aunt Elaine and uncle Al because who would believe it, anyhow.

is this his job or hobby? expensive hobby if it is. truly uh-maze-ing, i salute you.

Since it's a space battleship, I guess there's no need to worry about someone else building some Lego torpedo bombers...

This is still the most impressive lego ship out there:

This is the SPACE Battleship Yamato:

Not the real battleship Yamato:

Big difference ^_^

The gallery above actually shown two different Yamato(s). I am guessing the Spaceship Yamato is about 14 foot long, and the WW2 battleship is 21 foot long. middle four pictures of the set are of the Spaceship version. The rest are WW2 version.

You can tell the difference by comparing the turrets on both ships. WW2 version all lay on the deck at the same level. Whereas the spaceship version have different height levels.

The useage of white bricks on the turrets are at different location as well.

Second that on Nova....wasn't the dudes name Starfire? Many an afternoon I rushed home to catch that show.

adrunkenmonkey

I think this is what you were looking for:

We're off to outer space
We're leaving Mother Earth
To save the human race
Our Star Blazers

Searching for a distant star
Heading off to Iscandar
Leaving all we love behind
Who knows what danger we'll find?

We must be strong and brave
Our home we've got to save
If we don't in just one year
Mother Earth will disappear

Fighting with the Gamilons
We won't stop until we've won
Then we'll return and when we arrive
The Earth will survive
With our Star Blazers

I still have the hots for Nova, she was a fox.

"Something something Gamalons
Something something 'till we've won..."

I guess I can call him a dork and geek and other putdowns towards his lack of a social life, but he will still have better lego skills than me...of which I am not ashamed to admit are non-existent.

Obviously this is from the old Anime series Star Blazers. (US name.) www.starblazers.com

I don't think that WW2 battleships had "Wave motion engines".

dufus

I prefer the (lifesize?) Doremon he has hidden in the background. Will he sell that?

jabber

This looks like the Space Battleship Yamato, and not the WW2 Yamato battleship. Correct?

MrFuzzyPants

WOW...
But the back looks odd.
I had no idea the drive system looked like that of a starship destroyer.

tek_nic

Between the giant ship and the giant Doraemon, color me impressed.

@DaddysFavourite: That thing is amazing!

Nice replica of the Space Battleship Yamato, but where is the Wave Motion Cannon?
