So let's see, we have Sony for part of the chugakko and the bus's equipment, then Mikasa for some sports equipment, Neoplan for the four brand new vehicles and Japan Airlines as official long range excursions.
Pretty good layout, nai?

A, and by the way, the #01 is now assembled; I will show a shashin tomorrow. :usagi:

While the pic quality isn't great, I can still see its awesomeness. :cool:

#02 is also yatta; I had to battle against my tireness (I work at a restaurant) to finish it, so I can assemble #03 and #04 tomorrow Sunday (free day) and then proceed to building the Ju-ban Chugakko plus two other dioramas at the same scale.

Also, another senkan for Usagi, the USS Haydn - a name that appears at the SM's episode with the youma Kurene -
will be built this week.
Her keel and some of the superstructure are now ready.

I like warships - looking forward to seeing it!

It must look a bit like the MONTANA Class (may a mix of YAMATO - her hull - with IOWA - her superstructure - design be the best I came with), but with three main guns at the foredeck - HMS NELSON Class concept - and one at the back.

It will be a shu senkan, with all those monstrous main guns and muteki AA batteries! :usagi:

Three at the front? Sounds pretty aggressive! :cool:

That IS the idea!

Queen Beryl's Shōgun are also aggressive; then fight the fire... With fire!

Too bad we no longer have such awesome-looking warships nowadays. *sigh*

This is how the HAYDN senkan looks, so far.

She will not receive the three guns to the foredeck.

Meanwhile, she will be like the Purojekuto A-150, or Sūpā Yamato; 2+2 arrangement, turrets mounting four 17.5" barrels.

O tanoshimi kudasai!

Still, the four-barrel turrets look pretty impressive - it's more than the regular Yamato class. :cool:

Now look at the turrets on today's warships.

Hai, they also give more density of fire.

Look at the main gun disposal of the KING GEORGE V: imagine how that was firing all the way - their guns were considerably smaller, but the firepower was pretty good!

We lack of raw power today, as the tactic warfare now rules, and proves to be more effective.

By counter, despite are pretty small turrets on the nowadays kan, they have some astonishing hi-tech gadgets contering that lack of firepower, nai?

That goes w/o saying, of course. :wink:

But that's just not as fun as in the past, & frankly that single-barrel turret nowadays also kinda looks like a (tiny) dick to me. P-:

My two Yen on that!

To feel the big 15, 16 or 18 inches guns was simply one of the easiest ways to get some extra adrenaline.

That could still be felt aboard the USS New Jersey, before her decomissioning in '92! :sad:

And the day when they replace projectile weapons w/ directed-energy ones, the guns would look like flashlights.

The ultimate people-carrying giant, the -fantasy - 2012 Neoplan Jumbocruiser!

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/MegaMoonLiner/SailorMoon/jumbocruiser_2012_japan_moonkingdomstarlines_pt2.png

^^ This font type, the "Angelic War", is simply gorgeous, and perfectly fits on the tsuki silhouette and dark cobalt blue livery, which makes this model very subtle and austeric looking!

And something I think I never shared, the V2.0 of the MegaMoonLiner II, based on a(nother) fantasy wash-up of a 15m double deck basu, the Neoplan Megaliner.

Yeah, that's a very interesting font. :cool:

Also love that blue color, too, which makes it look pretty classy & royal.

Have seen that "big eye" design before, tho, but it still looks cool. :cool:

Now that you talk - the design of the Neoplan SerenityLiner motorhome origami is now underway, after a long, long halt!

...If you quite remember I was building a cardboard model of it, which is now halted, in favor of a Revell 1/570th TITANIC and the Azabujūban chūgakkō models...

Looks cool - I like the half-open design on its upper deck. :cool:

Arigato.

I am a scale modeling addict, so I never stop doing models, even though my job is kinda difficult - I am working at a restaurant.

ZinniaAuRevoir · **Posted:** Sat Mar 10, 2012 10:52 am

Now, that's awesome! What kind of job you do in restaurant? a cook? =^_^=

My father used to open a restaurant and I have a pleasant memory of his handmade noodle chicken soup. Ah... What a memory. :cool:

I also liked assembling plastic models when I was small - too bad I haven't had got the time to do it later. *sigh*

Maybe I'll do a special chicken soup in friday night and show you the photo, Rika-kun! =^_^=

@ Zinnia-san, I work as a polyvalent, which means I do a little from everything.

Honestly, I was mainly hired as a dishwasher/maintenance staff, but I also have my hands on desserts, salads and a little bit at the hot section.

Perhaps, the best food they make there are the 100% traditional - made by professional Italian hands - pizzas - http://media.ghix.com/hotel_pictures/2773/2773853/normal/2367993.jpg - and a dessert called Le Moelleux - http://aftersky.ch/userfiles/image/bigggg/galeries/Restaurant%20small/m_Moelleux.jpg.

The rest, is up to you to find at Le Vieux Valais/Aftersky Bar.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now back to the topic,

The 1995 Mercedes-Benz Tourismo, fourth Mūn ōkoku sutārain basu, with all specs for use in Japan - this including the rear emergency door - is here!

https://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pwqTMHPOLD9vBpqxyZhVbRCqsFcGmonR20ZXXWIkt49MEJDkgyCWXEitDoAC90A3QukWysQBy10LOMCKHq3RCeg/mercedes_tourismo_1st_design_big_backradiators_adv_japan_moonkingdomstarlines.png?psid=1

Of course, those rounded edges of the front will kill you a bit, but the result is majestic, no matter what scale you do it! =^_^=

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/MegaMoonLiner/FinishedModels/photo-0706.jpg

Another example - the European model - if you want to be sure you are successful at the front making.

You can pair it with the previous basu, the 2012 Neoplan Jumbocruiser!

O tanoshimi kudasai!

I like that dessert as well as its artistic layout. :cool:
