Me and my Dad were watching this from start to finish and we are heavily impressed and mind-blown away from your incredible patience and making each detail more realistically lively on your Yamato warship. Super awesome job and greetings from the PHILIPPINES!!! 🇵🇭
I'm an aircraft guy and I would NEVER attempt at a 1/700 ship ever...so I thought I'd watch a couple minutes and go to another video....nope. Watched from start to finish and had to remind myself I had hot coffee to drink before it got cold because I was so impressed with the steady hands and the ridiculousness of photoetch in 1/700. Fantastic work, and was especially impressed with the actual realism of the bomb geysers. Wow! Such nice work.
OMG you are so right. I saw this video and had no idea it was about someone putting a model together and was ready to move on as I too was enjoying my coffee at 9:30 in the morning and realized I had let it get cold while I sat mesmerized by this guys talent. I did pause it to get me another hot cup to finish watching.
I wanted to say something similar, but you had all the right words, to express what my feelings are about this amazing piece of art. Thank you for sharing
Wow this is so incredibly well done. The water looks so deep and realistic, and the model is sublime for this scale. The foam and froth is great. Absolutely brilliant!!
It's been a long time. The work took longer than I thought. This is the list of products I used. 1/700 Pontos yamato - pontosmodel.com/ ION Model 3D figure - ionmodel.com/ Thank you.
Lol nice got a doll house from China like this told my wife "yeah, there's no way" , wanted me to make a couch out of just raw materials using a tweewer lol
I'm blown away, the water looks so real! The splashes, wake and waves too just absolutely amazing 33:52 must be my favorite shot such a sense of weight and scale of the sea and battleship but really every angle you showed makes this look dynamic and realistic and its just amazing and beautiful bow wave too. This is by far the best and most realistic naval battle diorama I've ever seen.
this ship the only reason makes me playing "world of warships"! japan should makes one as "military museum" I would come from Egypt for this great ship❤️🔥
I never knew this battleship was so much armed to the teeth until I saw you building it - the number of guns is over the top. The tiny brass casings around the guns only adds to the realism, as well as the 3 attacking aircraft, and the ship’s crew. The sea and the bomb explosions are the pièce de résistance. Very well done!
Holy hell, that was incredible! I absolutely adore all the little details you put in there; it took me until the end to notice, but the little tilt of the hull was what really makes this whole diorama and elevates it to another level. Outstanding work.
That is by far the most detailed military model I've ever seen! Incredible work. A little sad we didn't see some of the rigging being made! Mesmerizing.
Never have I seen such perfection. As a model builder of many years, I am reduced to such an amateur status. I can only aspire to such perfection in my craft.
Nice, that you added The Great War Of Archimedes at the beginning, this does seem to be the most comprehensive kit on Yamato, and it would seem that one might be able to build her as how she was commissioned. Great work as usual. Take care, and all the best.
It's really art to me, some may like paintings but to me this goes beyond model building, I'm a home builder, so I appreciate structural buildings, the detail and painted accents, it's stunning, I could look over the little details all day. Thank you
Unbelievable. An absolute master class. The amount of photoetch and such realistic diorama - this would have taken me at least a year. Thank you sooo much for sharing. Immediately pressed subscribe. Shut the door!!
Yamato would have been one amazing ship to see these days….. amazing how such giants can float like they do with all the armor surrounding them! Amazing work!!
Just amazing how you did all of that. Always when I thought "Alright, that part was the most stunning of the whole video!", you came around with another great thing to further enhance your diorama. Applause to you sir and happy Easter to all of us!
46 years since i sat in a room every night building airfix kits...i cant comprehend the detail in that kit, its amazing. Your skill in assembling it is totally awesome too.
16:53 Man, with that music and the act of putting her superstructure on top of the hull, I felt something. Wasn't expecting to get emotional over a video like this.
I’ve never seen anything this impressive… Unbelievable! I’m obsessed with the old steamer ocean liners, so my first thought was that you could do the world’s greatest diorama of Titanic, Olympic, Britannic, Lusitania, Mauretania…(I dunno why, but I feel like for you the HMHS Britannic might be the most interesting or the Olympic as a troop ship during WW1) I’d be so happy to see any of those old steamers sailing in realistic water and I wonder of realistic smoke from the smoke stacks is possible. I bet you could do anything… Insane work, I don’t even understand what I’m watching 😅 amazing 🙏…
This is pure art, hats off to you 👍 Especially the sea painting and the water splashes are stunning. I just dont like the aircraft with the steel wire but I recognize there is no other possibility there (very fine acrylic rod maybe?!)
I thought this was some history on the Yamamoto, but I was mesmerized and watched your whole video. Excellent video! I didn't realize how armed to the teeth she was. Gosh, you almost made her come alive again. Excellent water and photography. Thanx for sharing.
Amazing work in both the build and filming, lighting, editing, etc. Mesmerizing to watch and this really should be out on display along with some historical photos.
Seriously, to all the people who do modeling like this, props. I dont have anywhere near the patients needed to sit ans assemble one of these, let alone make it look awesome.
The Yamato was largest and and most heavily armed battleship ever built at 65,030 tons, the USS Missouri was only 40,820 tons. Even the Iowa class battleships were only 56,500 tons. The Yamato and it's 23 mile range 18" guns (the largest ever mounted on any ship) could stand off and sink any ship during WWII without ever coming under fire. Even today, it's still an incredible piece of engineering.
I thought the Missouri was one of the Iowa Class. Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, and New Jersey were the 4 Iowa class. Am I wrong? Or is there a reason the Missouri would weight 16,000 tons less?
I can see the steps made, I can see the end masterpiece but I can't wrap my head around how creating this is possible. The talent and patience is beyond understanding.
This must of been very stressful making a 1/700. If I tried to make that then I would either shake like crazy or lose one of the smaller pieces and lose my sanity. I've had lots of other fun videos ready but I had to finish this, im very impressed. Best work i've seen today, im amazed how steady hands you have and what people can make with their talents. You've earned my medal of Golden Toast! Amazing video.
You wouldn’t think that you could watch this whole video but the sheerly incredible attention to detain and steadiness if his hands not no mention the scale was mesmerising and incredibly hypnotic
Awesome - I'd expect to see quality like this in a War Museum, stunning work. I used to create dioramas for Tamiya 1/35 vehicles & troops, & the occasional one for 1/72 by Airfix, etc, but this level of detailed work, on such a minute scale, is incredible! Do you do micro-surgery as a living?! lol
Incredible work. I'm typically a tank modeler but have tried ships and I can say from experience they are tough, tough, tough to get right. Well done my friend
Looks perfect. Despite fact that these "airplanes stick" keeping them in air looks a bit thick - I sometimes try to find better solutinon - whole scene left speechless. All the best for You! ;)
It's interesting that some of the most powerful and biggest battleships of WW2, designed to go toe-to-toe with the best ships the Allies had the offer, in the end, didn't really do much except take part in one or two battles and spend the rest of the war in port. And once the Allies had air and sea superiority, the axis did not want to sortie these precious and VERY expensive ships to the open sea in fear of them being immediately attacked and sunk by allied aircraft
The unfortunate reality for the Yamato was it was in the wrong war. In World War I she would have been the dominant power of the ocean, nigh unsinkable and a terror known to all. However by the later part of World War II the age of the Battleship was over. Aircraft Carriers were essentially 'stealth' vessels with an impossibly huge attack and surveillance range. Battleships rarely ever even saw the carrier itself, instead seeing just a tiny scout plane in the distance followed by wing after wing of devastating strike wings.
@@christophervennix9861 when the Ex-German battleship Ostfriesland was sunk by aerial bombs, Some in the Navy still believed that battleships were superior. It’s always the guy with the biggest gun that feels that he is superior to anything
Imagine being one of the Pilots who put a killing blow on Japan’s biggest vessel. Just the danger of being a Torpedo Bomber’s pilot, or really any pilot as a matter of fact, Making that final run to end the Yamato. The shredding AA fire tearing into your fellow brothers as you make the final dive to be one of few survivors. The pride of such an accomplishment is nearly incomprehensible.
Not just a few survivors. Only 10 planes out of 350 were shot down. Now i'm not saying the lives that were lost should be ignored but i think that's a bit more survivors than just "a few"
You're a genius. One of the most moving and epic story of the second world war. The giant going to death because it's her duty. Do you know the French novel "La Bataille" (ラ・バタイユ in Japanese), Claude Farrère, written in 1909, about and around the Battle of Tsushima? I don't know if the book is translated in Korean. I saw this book have been reprinted in India from a former English edition. But it's a very interesting book about the perception the Westeners had about Asia in general, and Japan in particularly at the beginning of the XXth Century. A very interesting portrait of a little western society visiting Japan at this moment and the different perception they have of Asia and Japan (already, "French touch" about the American of course)... :D The novel depicts the story from different point of view. Ashore and aboard a Japanese battleship, by the way, an epic and accurate description of this fierce battle seen from a main gun turret (Claude Farrère was a former French navy officer and served aboard the Battleship Brennus). The heroine of the novel, "Kazuko" (Marquise) Mitsouko, the wife of an Imperial Japanese Navy young officer, gave her name to a Guerlain Perfume in 1919. By the way, scale models of Pre-dreadnought battleship are rare, but there is a little collection now. They're fantastic ship to set in a diorama... Don't you think so. ;P My compliments on your fantastic work.
Unfortunately, the Yamato going to her death, while epic, was also very wasteful. The commander of Japan's remaining destroyers had called it a pointless expression of honor and a waste of oil that they could be using to have the destroyers withdraw troops from China and Burma for the defense of the home islands. He was ignored and Yamato was given enough oil for a round trip, despite that never being a possibility (her objective was to beach on Okinawa) Probably the most interesting ship of the mission was not actually Yamato, but actually a destroyer called Yukikaze - which had participated in and survived nearly every major battle of the war without casualties and escorted most of the major capital ships in the battles they were sunk in, and achieved nearly legendary status as a symbol of luck in Japan. Also, for Battle of Tsushima, there's a TV show put out by NHK called Saka no Ue no Kumo which you can find here and there on the internet that covers the rise of Japan after Meiji, through the Russo-Japanese War and the Battle of Tsushima through the eyes of several historical characters.
@@TrueXyrael You are misremembering. Yukikaze DID NOT go through the war without casualties, but she survived every major battles/operations she war a part of. That is Shigure, which suffered no casualties during the Solomon campaign, according to Captain Tameichi Hara.
@@TrueXyrael You're right. Absolutely right. But I wasn't speaking through the Historian eyes. Story is not History, indeed (easier to say it in English than in French. Story= histoire. History= Histoire...).
