I don't comment too often, but this video warrants the highest praise for model making. Having watched all 29 installments during the build, this cliff notes version truly demonstrates the magnitude of this project and the incredible skill and talent to pull it off. Congrats and looking forward to further Titanic videos.

Thanks you very much!

Never in my life have I seen a model built with such painstaking attention to detail. What a beauty she is. I served with her aboard the USS Jack Williams (FFG-24) during the first Gulf War. She was a sight to see in battle as she launched her Tomahawks toward downtown Baghdad. I'll never forget that. Anyway, the Mighty Mo holds a special place in my heart and I loved watching you bring her to life right before my eyes. Thanks for that.

@TheMidwestModelShop 2 года назад

Thank you, Sir. For your service and your kind words.

@michaelnaven213 Год назад

She’s a beautiful ship. Excellent dedication to your build. The Missouri ship museum would be proud to have your ship on display. Well done!

That plate scalloping to make the hull look weld plated was genius.

I ( Tony not Kathy) am writing this from Oahu. We just visited the Mighty Mo yesterday. Your model is breath taking, and does that beautiful shop proud. I know how much work and skill goes into these super detailed ship models , and the dedication to take on this project is admirable . I especially like your oil canning technique.. looks really great . A year and half seems like a short time for such a masterpiece. Great job! Tony

Thanks Tony! (Not Kathy 😉) I appreciate it! And enjoy the islands! It’s an amazing place!

Nice build man. I say this every time I see one of these, my Dad was a huge time model builder. If you aren’t wearing breathing protection while using most of these chemicals, please start. He was diagnosed with AML (it’s a type of leukemia) largely caused by the benzenes found in a lot of modeling chemicals

@ampiegreeff3075 2 года назад

I am a beginner modeller. Your work is admirable to say the least. I wonder if there is anyone that had watched this and not assembled a model before? This work is beyond difficult. You have great skill and a true craftsman.

@keithburrage1424 Год назад

Oops, I forgot to add. Outstanding build. I particularly like the very convincing grey weathered wooden deck planking. Much more convincing than the Tamiya 'Deck Tan' look often seen on builds.

@Th3HondaGuy 2 года назад

Saw this exact kit in store and almost bought it because of this series. Never built a boat before so that stopped me because I know I would have used your series as a guide. The amount of work you put into this thing would overwhelm me at my current skill level so I put it off. Maybe one day I'll take a stab at it, but for now I'll hone my craft until I'm able to take something like this on! Excellent work, keep making these videos as they inspire all of us to strive to do better!

@BALOYBEACHBUM Год назад

I built the USS Missouri from a Sterling balsa kit, put R/C controls and engine, made the turrets go up and down and side by side, even a radar that rotated.

@TAllyn-qr3io 5 месяцев назад

I am a Navy veteran and retired Army 1SG. I switched from the Navy to the Army and near the end of my career I was being sent to Korea. I PCS’d my family from Ft. Campbell, KY to Ft. Lewis and shipped out to Camp Casey, Korea for a year. Before heading out we went to Bremerton and got great pictures of the Mighty Mo in mothballs. When I returned to Lewis and retired, they were towing her out to sea heading for Hawaii. Many people were there watching and it was sad. During Ocean Safari 85… on an UNREP at 0300hrs., with my destroyer starboard of the USNS refueling ship and all of a sudden we saw something huge on the port side of the oiler. Got bigger and bigger and then a bunch of bright lights popped on and I immediately saw the number 61. I started to weep as I knew the history of the BB’s and to me, “they” were the US NAVY. Best UNREP of my time in the Navy. 🫡

@edg1754 2 года назад

This was such a fantastic build. It was this series that made me finally start my own build, and taught me so much about working with photo etch that I actually now enjoy the process. Great recap video, too!

@pjb5757 2 года назад

Great model I've never made a model of a battleship before but watching this has made me think I may give it a try one day. I admire your patience and perseverance, you've paid true respect to this icon of American naval history. God Bless you and best wishes from NZ.😉 Happy Christmas!

I served under Capt. Kaiss aboard a Cruiser GG-32 before he went to Command the USS Missouri BB-63, you can see him decommissioning her on U-tube, he was the last Battle Ship sailor, check out the history, also the Marker that says "WW II end here" was removed and on display in General McCarther's tomb in Norfolk Va. while the ship was in commission.

@user-ni2zo5zo3c 3 месяца назад

Nice, clean work, as good as one can expect! Congratulations! I do not have the means to afford projects such as this, so I take great enjoyment in watching videos of genuinely delightful excellence, were technicality and artistry blend into true mastery. I can do some of this, though not to the extraordinary level you exemplify. Moreover, I have so many ideas for such projects, though even were I able to afford them, I could not accomplish a fraction of them. I wish I could hire hundreds (thousands?) of people like you to do them, and make videos detailing (and super-detailing) such build projects, and explaining how you accomplish each step. I personally would fully crew the ship, with all the defensive gunnery busily striking down air raid violators!

Brilliant modelbuilding and very nice video. Regarding the kit, at first I thought the manufacturer really dropped the ball with their version of the Kingfisher... then I learned that the Mighty Mo operated Seahawks. I learn something new every day.

@matthewpering8091 2 года назад

I watched the whole series from the beginning, since I was also modelling the Iowa. Great to see how you handle things. It is most interesting to see how we differ in what is important to model. Once you decided to model the kamikaze strike, it would have been hard to not model the tin-canning too. Kudos to you for a great accomplishment.

@lingcod91 11 месяцев назад

The superb physical skills and thoughtful attention to details are a absolute fact in creating this model. HOWEVER the soundtrack (It is doubtful to even be called music) is distracting enough to spoil the presentation. To say nothing of how unrelated it is. THINGS MATTER . . . in every aspect of life.

@realitycheck60 2 года назад

I am mainly a sci-fi modeler but I have built a few ships in my 50 years of model building. First of all I would like to say you did an outstanding job especially with all the hull details you did. We all make our little mistakes now and then but I must say this is the best build I have ever seen. Museum quality perhaps. I decided to change things up a bit as it's been a few years since I built a ship model. I picked up the Academy 400 scale Missouri and 600 scale Enterprise aircraft carrier models from Freetime hobbies as the size of both fit my bill and the price wasn't way out of budget. I did pick up photo etch railing for both as the give the model a more realistic look and not so toy like. Other than that they will be built out of box with whatever needs to be corrected using my own modeling skills. Seeing both kits reviews they seem to be downsized versions of the 350th Tamiya kits. The parts and the parts tree layouts seem to be identical. The Missouri measures 26 and 3/8 inches long and the Enterprise is 22 inches long. Perfect size for my space in my model room. My question for you is I mainly use Tamiya acrylics as the Model Master enamels are no longer available. I want to get the colors close and I mix my own paints many times which is not a problem for me. What Tamiya blue colors would you recommend I start with to get me close. I use the XF acrylics and I'm not worried about being exactly spot on to the measure 22 scheme just so it is somewhat close. I'm looking for getting the darker color on the hull close and the color on the wood decking. Any info would be greatly appreciated. You and your family have a Happy and Healthy New Year and stay safe.

@TheMidwestModelShop 2 года назад

So when I ran out of “Weather Deck Blue” I mixed my own out of other Model Master colors. I started out with a dark blue, I believe or a blue grey. Something along those lines. What surprised me was I needed to add A LOT of red to the blue in order to go the right direction for the weather deck that I had already painted. Looking at my small collection of Tamiya paints on the shelf….. I would start with a purple and add dark blue to it. The purple is “lighter” than the dark blue. But the dark blue should take you very quickly in the right direction. If it seems like it needs some grey or even green, just add them as necessary. I guess what I’m trying to say is start with just blue or something light blue. But don’t be surprised if a lot of red is the next base color.

absolutley stunning build, a credit to your patience, one question however why did you paint the deck black and not its original wood colour?

It’s not black. It’s a dark blue. Because it was stained blue in WWII. After the war they removed the stain.

Hey look a silly question but how do you go about masking the metal decking for your upper superstucture ? particularly wonderig about tricky spots like the inside of gun tubs or where there are vertical walls ? I've finished the Hood and currently working on the Nelson and the whole process drives me up the wall - thanks in advance (ps a little video would be great if possible) -
