3D Movie IJN A/C Amagi

[Wayne Little]

Didn't get on the net last night, sorry...

here is the overhead shot of Mitsuko-jima that shows the camouflage and relative positions of both carriers...with the Amagi under bombing attack to the middle left and Katsuragi to the right.

Could you translate the info on the bottom of the picture, please Shinpachi?

Perfect photograph!
Thank you for your posting when you are busy.

Here is the same image with my translation.
Wishing it any help for you

 

[Shinpachi]

Overlayed with present Mitsuko-jima.
This island is now used as a logistic center of imported salt.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Shinpachi for the translation!

 

[Shinpachi]

You are welcome. I've enjoyed it.
Good day!

here is another shot of Amagi under attack, where you can clearly see the camo netting...

Nice work Shinpachi.

 

[Shinpachi]

Thank you Wayne for more impressive photograph.
Yes, it's so close that camo details can be observed well.

The caption says "Camouflaged 'Amagi' under attack(seen downward). Got the 3 direct and some close hits on July 24 and more several close hits on July 28, 1945, it had leaked and capsized."

I am beginning to wish to visit Mitsuko-jima someday.
On the way to the island from Osaka, I will also sure to visit Onomichi city where real size battleship "YAMATO" which was originally made for a movie is still displayed.

Thorlifter! Thank you for the compliment!

To tell you the truth, I am a fan of Boeing B-298)
I would like to introduce more works on another opportunity in the near future.
Please keep in touch.

Nice day all!

Real size "Yamato"

[Wayne Little]

Would love to see that!

 

[Shinpachi]

Sorry, I can't find "Yamato" at Onomichi shipbuilder's yard any longer.
It has been displaced or - camouflaged perfectly!

 

[Wayne Little]

So it has been sunk again.... ...

 

[Shinpachi]

OK that's one of the possibilities

 

[Shinpachi]

Wayne, your words often stimulate my desire for creation.
Thank you.

 

[Wayne Little]

hey that looks cool!

 

[Shinpachi]

Wayne, Sorry for my frequent postings.
I don't know why but new image is coming up in my brains on this thread.

Please see the course of event for the time being.
I will be tired soon

Note: I have applied TERRAGEN software, a 3d terrain generator.
The battleship looks alike a battleship but it is merely an island on the
software. 3D effect by cross-eye viewing.

 

[Wayne Little]

Don't be sorry, post all you want mate!...interesting stuff.

on the Amagi theme, I am currently building the Pit road Amagi, will post some progress images soon!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thank you Wayne.
A 3d singer for you

 

[Shinpachi]

Sunk Yamato in 3d stereo view.

Wayne, I will be looking forward to seeing your scale model Amagi but
please do not hurry. I always don't want to give any pressure to anybody
as I don't want to be done so either.

 

[Wayne Little]

hey those are nice clear images...looks good.

I certainly won't hurry with the Amagi, but I will chip away at it.

It's a reasonable kit that requires a lot of work, that's for sure!
