1943 EggArcade

[rodrant]

Hi guys ,

my participation in this SiG will be this little kit I bought some months ago for Egg Build , it is a kit from Fujimi and a license of Capcom depicting their arcade game 1943 ...well it has a plane and a Yamato ...or so it seems , will build it trying to depict some arcade or gaming machine , still no ideas on how it will be the diorama, must see inside the box first ...

Wore out my NES on this game... Awesome kit! And yeah, that looks like a Yamato class.

I say make it view-able top-down, like the arcade.

Lots of bullets and a power-up maybe? I don't remember, was the first boss a bomber or the battleship? Sure that's what they were going for, it's a great find, man.

And again I forgot to buy myself an egg plane.... just walked for 8 hours on a scale model convention last weekend and not bringing any egg plane home with me... bummer

Anyway, that looks like a great kit you got there António! And I agree on the tabletop view. Just like the game. But whatever cunning plan you have, I'm sure you come up with something awesome

Have fun, I will follow with interest!

Well , this Egg builds are fast and furious

You open the box :













Start on the small guns



in a minute you did some more turrets



The hull



All ready to paint ...



MAsk on the hull



As it will be an arcade sort of small diorama , I will use the stickers and will not paint the wooden deck !



In the mean time as all dries , time to do the very small lightng ...



Beautifull details and very nice detail panel lines



the detail is just superb ! Small but nice ...







The cockpit ...do not know if to use some PE pieces on it



In a blink of an eye ...it is done !



This are nice , you have some clear plastic parts to place in the propelers as they were spinning !



Decalling....sorry stickers time !







and...





the mighty Yamato is done !



Menacing with all that fire power !



and all done in few hours !

The P-38 was painted with Olive drab and sky grey in the belly





I must start thinking on the diorama that I will make now ...an arcade machine was a good idea ...or a sort of eggarcade ...

Now the magic starts with the dio

Another update on the Egg Build

For the base , I get this :



The cotton also ...

The sticks , but will use only one of the midle ...I had an idea but not to be done , that was to use the samll ones for doing the 'bullets flying around ' , but let me tell you that for me was the hard part and I couldn't find a solution for it , so I went for something alterantive and more simple ...the magnets I thought in using them for buttons ...but again not a good idea



This small broken trunk that I had , will get half of the cover ...



So after I glued the half cover and placed the sticker as a control lever for the arcade machine , I painted all in black , and the top of the lever in Red



Feel the arcade feeling ? Yessss!!! , please insert the coin !



Now dealing with the cotton , and to try to make some explosions ...will use yellow , orange and red ...



Yellow first



Some orange



Some Red



And a first idea on how the diorama will be ...not as I thought first , but seems nice to me



Now for the fire buttons thought of this pins from a cork board ..will do the task !



For the water , this Vallejo Pacific water left over from last year Egg Build on the Akagi ! We must not waste modelling materials , and this water effect is really carttonish style !



The pool is ready !



Place this transparent sprue to serve as a base for the Egg Lightning !



And the boat is ready in the 'Arcade screen' now to let all dry till tomorrow to finish this build !

Hope you liked !
