Plastic model kits often need finishing work to make the models look as good as their source material. This week, Kayte and Norm take on the task of painting a Space Battleship Yamato 2199 snap fit kit, using washes and rust effects to make the spaceship look old and battle-worn. The result is a striking transformation!

People in the comments griping about the parts not being trimmed and cleaned properly - why? Tested isn't a modeling-specific channel, and Norm isn't an expert builder. Plus, he's free to build it however he wants. There's no

Spending more time cleaning off the connection points from the piece to it's sprew(tree, frame) goes a long way.

Frigging hell, its like they never built scale models before... this is supposed to be a static display model, not something you can hide behind smoke, mirrors and VFX

This is basically what someone who never had anything to do with plastic models would do and exactly the sort of end result they would get, which is pretty terrible, to be honest.

Can we please get more videos with Kayte? I'm not able to get premium. Don't hide her experience and energy!

norm was just in a video about the god hands nippers, even if you're too lazy to sand or use a hobby knife you could at least clean the nubs up with a god hands a little better than that...

Also, Norm, please know the material behind the model. That is a new take on an old cartoon in the us called star blazers in the 70's. The ships was originally buried beneath an dried up ocean on earth which is why it looks so weathered.

I mean, everyone has said it, but sprue nubs and mold lines! little extra time on that would elevate it so much.

Those of us who were children in the 1970's (Adam and I are about the same age) will remember this as "The Argo" from "Starblazers". If you were a fan of science-fiction, there was very little good sci-fi on TV to satisfy that hunger. The Japanese anime "Space Battleship Yamato" was dumbed down a bit for the US market and targeted for kids. The name of the ship was changed just in case it might offend some grandparents, although the real Yamato's role in WWII was largely insignificant. Even in the US version, the characters refer to the remains of the original ship as the Yamato in the early episodes when it's sitting intact on the bottom of the dried up Pacific ocean. In reality, the ship ripped itself apart as it sank, much like the Titanic, and is barely recognizable.

Sorry, but I’ve been building models for over 55 years now. I would never claim to be an expert but my main modelling interest is sci-fi and WWll/present day naval vessels. Saying all that, the video was informative but I need to offer some friendly critiques.

Dudes- the Yamato sat at the bottom of the pacific for decades before it was "raised" and refitted to be a space ship. The rust wasn't form a hypothetical intergalactic junkyard.

Love the addition of Kayte on the channel, and some more showcasing of model work. Would like to have seen a little more attention to detail with cleaning the sprues and a better finish by priming and basecoating the plastic before weathering. This would be really cool as a "one day build" type video starting with the assembly with voiceover timelapse video or something. Anyway, love to see more of this stuff on the channel, keep it up guys!

Kate you should start your own channel with tips tricks and techniques for movie prop painting and design.

Kayte is a great addition! I like how easy her directions were to follow and clearly she is someone with experience and interests that fit what I like about tested.

You should see how I painted my 1/500 Yamato from my channel. I painted mine as well as putting on LED lights for the wave motion gun in the front of the ship. I am glad to see you guys make this kit even better the before!
