Trumpeter HMS Roberts 1/350 Assembly, Painting, Weathering 

Thank you! the model is a great value, i can only recommend it!

Thank you! next model is in process, can't take more than three days from now!

i've mostly seen it on black and white photos, and there it looks like a dark shade, with sharp edges and random patterns, most likely it is as you said, eroded instead of dirty

Hi Jerry! Glad you enjoy my videos, it is also very fun to make them and even better if viewers like them! :) I have recently uploaded a Yamato in 1/450 scale, which is the most recent video (Not counting an electric roller in 1/12 scale, a click kit), but other than that, the Sullivans is still the most recent one! Thanks for being a frequent viewer!

@@jerrymccrae7202 Thanks all the best to you too, stay safe and healthy, and dont catch corona :-)

It reminded me of the nelson-class when i looked at the box art, i mean, it has only one turret so the chances it is infront of the superstructure are very high but still, somehow similar in looks, with the big bridge and all. :)

It definitely looks unfamiliar! what i think is the most interesting is the extremely wide hull that doesnt go that deep into the water. Imagine the ship would flip over if the main gun is fired sideways!

@@funinscale2892 I think the Roberts-class monitors were fairly stable, but there is a story that when the targets assigned to HMS Roberts were getting too far inland for her to hit with her guns at maximum elevation, the gunnery officer hit on the idea of firing the guns abeam to set up a rolling motion, and then timed the next shots fired to take place at the moment of maximum roll angle, thus giving the guns a few more vital degrees of elevation, and thus a few more hundreds (possibly thousands) of yards of range that they could throw those big 15-inch shells to. 🙂

Just how we (at least i) like 'em!
