I'm totally loving this micro chibi Yamato by builder delayice. I'm sure the first instinct you'd have with this thing approaching in space is "awww", but as soon as it unleashed it's arsenal on you you'd quickly change your tune. But even in the panic you'd still be stifling a smile, it's just too darned cute.
SHIPtember continues and now that we're almost three weeks in we're starting to see a few completed SHIPs, like this magnificent rendition of the Space Battleship Yamato by builder Eínon. This would normally be the part where I confess I haven't seen the movie or series, but not this time! I've actually seen quite a bit, but it's been so long I can't remember much. I guess it's about time to revisit it.
Builder Moko is back with a lovely super deformed version of Yamato Armor Girl. Nothing says cute like pigtails, bangs, big eyes....and a cold steel, armor plated battle-ready gun battery. I'd like to say I knew what this was by just looking, but without Google I'm worthless.
