Japanese Battleship Yamato

oday we travel to a SIM called YAMATO of Japan, that holds a remarkable and massive build. Here you'll find a replica of a Japanese Battleship Yamato.

Beautiful cherry blossoms line the street, partially hiding the iron monster towering in the background.

The battleship runs the full length of a SIM. The red arrows are actually pointing to me, yes that tiny spec is me. The shear size is incredible, you suddenly feel quite small when your standing on deck. The creator of this build is MASAKADO Allen and his eye to detail is outstanding. It is amazing to see what some people can do with the humble prim. Unfortunately I can't tell you much about this build because I don't understand Japanese and can't read the sign, but to just see this ship, you can understand that a lot of work had gone into creating it.
At the stern of the ship is the A6M2-N "Rufe" the ride, where you can click to rezz a plane that will take you on a tour around the ship and part of the SIM. The plane lands on a platform high up on the tower, where you will find another plane to click and rezz. It will take you on another tour and will throw in a couple of loops and dives before it ends with an ocean landing. Also back up on the tower platform is a diving gate where you can try some parachuting. There is a trial version parachute available in a box up next to the gate, that will last for 3 days. The plane ride and parachuting both give you the option of human or tiny. Enjoy!

Travel well!
