Well done Katsu-san! Back on track! Really like those turret bases.
However, I must ask, Octagons with a circle saw? I am/was thinking a hole saw (circle) or do you mean a table saw? I can see how a table saw would cut the sloped sides on a square. How did you cut the corner 45's? A jig of some kind?

Naaaaw, I got it completely and sorry Hagoth-san and Dem Bones-san!!
That a great sense of humor. Hats off!
Wow, it keeps getting better and better/ I love the glow effect for the gun batteries
The turret bases are fabulous, did toy put a light below them or is it natural light making them light up
Anothe Katsu bento box for the lucky lady, now I’m hungry !!! It’s meat and potato pie with peas and gravy for me, builders lunch for me to warm my insides up, British weather getting colder
Ha-Ha! It's okay, Katsu-san. Believe me, I get that look :wacko from friends and family all the time! A little weirdness is okay, though.
Those bases look great. The color from the acrylic makes the guns look powered up and ready, a very nice effect.
Thanks Katsu-san. The sequence came to me last night on how you would make the octagons with a table saw. Very clever. And yes, precision is required. They make for a very nice energy effect under the base. Weapons armed and powered up! :cool
In this case ":cool" indicates the goggles the crew wear when Yamato is firing its wave cannon.

Agreed! Especially with the black paint job and scribed lines.
I also like the lack of exterior lighting. Star Trek and other shows really bug me when a ship is well away from any solar system, yet fully visible, as though it were closely orbiting a star.
Even if the model were a piece of junk, I'd love those pictures for one reason: the light level is very realistic. I've seen way too many models where the interior lights are far too bright for the scale of the ship - the crew would have to be wearing sunglasses all the time, and it really detracts from an otherwise beautiful model.

Thanks for posting those. It makes for a good start to the day.
I get what you're saying... but on the other side of that, no one wants to watch a space battle that's just a star field with one vaguely ship-shaped silhouette with running lights shooting nothing visible at another vaguely ship-shaped silhouette with running lights until one of them vanishes with a non-visible explosion.
I dunno, if filmed right it could be spectacular. "Gravity" gave us plenty of realistic destruction. (I get what you're saying though. Sometimes physics has to take a back seat to entertainment.)
