What i plan doing on this channel: Building model kits (armor, ships, less planes), building dioramas or vignettes for them, building and painting figures (fantasy (DnD) or military) in many different scales and 3D-Printing of accessoires or figures.
My passion is modelling, which i have done several years for myself now, but, as many other modellers would agree, you do want to share your work, get feedback, constructive criticism and not only build for yourself. While i am following many very talented modellers on youtube, i am probably not as skilled as most of them, but, as the channel name suggests, for me, modelling is only about fun and joy, creating interesting and beautiful things. So the thing inspired me the most to start such an experiment was the Mediocre Modellers Club by Andys Hobby Headquarters. While others seek perfection in their models, most of us do it because they enjoy it. Best regards, Peter
I'm 73, and looking for something to keep me occupied when I finally retire. I remember building plastic ship models as a boy, and a few balsa and tissue paper aircraft, and enjoying a model railroad. I never achieved anything like the standards of your model building, but the way you present your videos is very encouraging and I'm preparing to invest in my first 1/350 warship kit. Which one? Well, that's not quite decided yet. Like my Dad used to say...."It's the decisions that kill ya!"
my lady does nails with from like nothing and some of the stuff they use for nails i feel with suport can be used to make fill in for windows and stuff and its not too pricey some of it could also mold with it
Do you know what is the weight of finished model? I'm thinking about making it rc, so wondering how much displacement the model has left for propulsion and control equipment. Thanks.
Great build, and thank you for showing this. I have the same kit and have the time now to dive in and start the build. Im curious in watching your process, what did. you use for your glue, and what technique was used in applying it? I marvel at builders that can put together a ship of this quality and have no glue marks. Thank you for any wisdom you can share. Cheers.
You'd think 1:350 scale models would be a bit more of separate parts to assemble. I highly dislike when the hull is one solid piece. With my 1:200 scale models of Bismarck, Hood and Scharnhorst you had to construct the entire hull oneself. keel plate assembled from 3 or 4 wooden parts, then install the wooden ribs, then first panelling, grinding smooth, filling gaps with putty, grinding smooth again, second panelling, grinding smooth, filling gaps with putty, grinding smooth again... So the entire hull was made of wood. The core of the super structure: made of several wooden parts, that were covered in photo-etched parts. All in all very little plastic. mostly wood, PE parts, other metal parts (steel and copper). I mean, those 1:350 scale models are not that cheap. Why can't the manufacturer make the kits as e.g. Amati made the Bismarck, Hood and Scharnhorst in 1:200 (the models I built)? But other than that, I enjoyed watching.
Nice job man looks great! I’m close to pulling the trigger on buying the 1/350 uss Missouri 1991 kit and this is definitely helping! Lol. I did notice that you built the uss New Jersey 1982 kit because the superstructure was unique on the New Jersey compared to the other three Iowa class ships. And I like the added touch of the helicopter haha
Great build! I am thinking of getting this same kit but have never done any kit before. What paints do u think i would need? It would be hand painted until i can get Airbrush for next kit etc Thanks!
Vittorio Veneto had almost certainly a green hull, being built in Trieste. Only Littorio and Impero (unless the later had been dry docked in Trieste) Raf the Red Hull.
I have watched a couple of these Tamiya builds and am curious as to what type glue is used as the parts seem to move around easily but then are firmly in place. I am an old, 82, plastics modeller, but have not kept up with the latest glues, etc. Would appreciate any help you could give.
Hello, I am very new to ship modeling. Could someone tell me if I need to use a special primer for photoetch parts or any other thing? And also should i prime the whole model?
Very impressive overall result. A minimum of rigging would not hurt. I would love to build this ship, because I like the particular sleek lines of it - but four sheets of PE is too much for me. I wonder whether Hobby Boss could be convinced to issue a "light" version of this kit, with a minimum of PE parts (i.e. railings and radar dishes) - a CB-2 Guam for mere mortals, so to say. I bet they would sell one or two of those.
My dad, RMC Steve E Philip was a Plankowner on this ship. I was privileged to have attended many ship’s reunions, always on 06 October to commemorate the lives of the 54 sailors who were lost on that faithful night at Vella La Vella in the Solomon Islands and for the remaining crew to gather and reminisce with their shipmates. It’s probable that the crew has all passed on but for me, USNRetired, will never forget meeting so many of this brave crew!
Congratulations, great job. Please, would you be so kind as to tell me what product did you used to make the water foam effects? It can't be seen very well in the video but I really like the effect it leaves on such a small scale. I see it's an AK Interactive product but i can't identify it. Thanks.
If I were to purchase and assemble this Kidult, it would be the interior dashboard and the exterior coloring would also be completely remodeled instead of using the existing coloring! 0:20
If I purchase this Kidult, I will modify the internal analog instrument panel to a digital LED instrument panel by attaching it to decal paper. The exterior will be painted using the 119 helicopter! 0:25
Hey, I'm actually building this exact kit. Out of curiosity, did you prime it before you started painting? And what color did you use for the lifeboats wooden interior and the deck?
Very nice collection - your own Naval Review! The Belfast is always a good looker, but the paint scheme of the Italian ships is striking and brilliant 😊
Очень хорошая работа кистью . Забавный камуфляж для Бредли. Обычно я их встречал в писочном окрасе . Но вы предпочли собрать армии Украины . Ну тогда не хватает на этой модели нациского креста . Именно эту маркировку ВСУ и используют.
