I can’t stand Hydrocal models…they are too fragile and don’t even come close to wood models…to me ..,they are a solution…looking for a problem..

How many hours to build this?

There is no way a product like this should not be spot on…poor direction..no quality control…piece of junk…but you did a great job in the in the final build…

This kit is now listed on eBay for $425.00…ridiculous…for an average inferior model..

*when you glued the tarpaper roof down with whit glue... the wrinkles had a desirable effect imitating old, really old tarpaper. I can see that being bleached nearly white from the sun, cracks everywhere, with maybe some patch gravel in places... I have some buildings I'd like to practice that effect on. 👍

I built this same kit…it was ok but lacks mojo…

This entire kit is a piece of trash…the intricate value of this kit can not exceed 5 dollars…things don’t fit…crappy shingles..garbage..you did your best making best of a bad kit..

For the cost..a poorly designed bulding…pathetic..

The price is absurd..

Nice building! ( : I especially like what you did with the wood strips over the small doors. Has anyone tried covering larger areas or even the complete building from a cheap kit with wood/wood strips like that?

You might consider obtaining a set or two of small twist drill bits from Micro Mark or another vendor. Drilling a small pilot hole through the mounting holes on ground throw will make it easier to drive those spikes home.

How are you doing? I was just reaching out to let you know, I'm a huge fan of your channel and often binge watch your channel while I'm building my own kits. Its been an unusually long time since you've posted a new video so I thought I'd reach out to you and see if you're ok... is there anything you need from us, your fan base? Do you have a "patrion" or "go fund me" site to accept donations?

Работа выполнена непрофесионально, много грубых ошибок, чувствуется что человек не имеет отношения к судостроению. Ведь это набор из магазина, по сути детский сад.

Very helpful. Thanks...

Sir, you do some fine work

That was great diorama, your rendition was perfectly carried out and put together, congratulations on an excellent build, I have the complete set of all his diorama books and also I have all the Aircraft and armour books he published, best regards from Australia, Les

I don't have those instructions. Where can I find a copy???

I grew up on farm west of Wooster between old US 30 and US 250!! I remember in 60's driving too Wooster crosssing B%O over tracks on old Us 30 how slow the loco would just crawl wirth the retrace roads bed shaken!! boy cars were shaking back and forth due tro bass condition of road bed!!

Nice job. High quality kit now that the weathering job is extremely well done. Congrats.

13:10 The mast and yard arm have some beautiful colors to them.

Good stuff & thanks... but why didn't you build it with the freight doors opening inward as would have been the practice for dock side doors?

wax paper! so the signs dont stick to your cutting board ..

Was you a math teacher in school ! It was all very interesting ! Thank You.

Are you going to do anymore videos? I miss your crtique of the kits and that you are not sponsored.

I've just picked up this model from a junk store. $8 Canadien. Someone started it. Made a terrible job of the hull. But im hoping its going to be a pleasure 🙏 to complete this abandoned project 😊😊

Your technique goes to show that no kit is perfect and an expert modeler will adapt/improvise/overcome the short comings of the kit and produce a model to be proud of. Your video clearly highlighted the challenges and that's what I was looking for before taking the plunge. Well done!!

Excellent tutorial! Very convincing effects, I’ll be trying them all👍🏼 Gray spikes of color are shadows🙂

David R Lentz, USA My niche is of 1:25th-scale plastic model assembly kits of vehicles (cars, tractor-trailer rigs, mobile, off-road construction, excavation, erection, etc., machinery, etc.) and the dioramas that visually envelop them in a wordless (usually; signage is an exception) narrative. Even so, I delight in learning of the techniques, kits, settings, etc., of others’ ventures. Some I would like to see in my preferred scale (G gauge’s richer cousin). You need make no apology for your “mistake” in assembling one of the buildings. With one eye visibly higher than the other, I cannot determine what actually is “straight” in terms of physical objects. It occasionally shows in my illustration work, especially pen & ink (or, fun with serious myopia, cranio-facial mal-alignment, etc., requiring that I bring my eyes to round 10 cm of the work surface to render with cold, achy, bony fingers exquisitely fine detail). I also grew up in what was (still is, the last I looked) a small, old farm house-in the middle of a small city, no less, even with a barn out back!-that almost was as asymmetrical as the Burrows, the “one-room shack” nigh a dozen storeys tall where the Weasleys dwelt in the Harry Potter motion picture series (2001-2011, Warner Bros). For that matter, I wish a model railroading company would make a series of “Buildings in Cinema”: the Burrows, cited above; the old mansion in Psycho (1960, Universal Pictures, Alfred Hitchcock, Bernard Herrmann); the house in Home Alone (1990, 20th Century Fox, Chris Columbus, John Williams); the Brady home, in The Brady Bunch television series (1969-1974, Paramount), the Bunkers residence in All in the Family (1971-1979, Studio 41, CBS Television City/Sony Pictures Studios), all in O gauge; Hogwarts Castle (as above, in the Harry Potter film series), the palace in Emerald City, and the fortress of the wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz (1939, MGM, Victor Fleming, King Vidor, Herbert Pope Stothart), all in the same gauge (HO, N, Z), for the constancy of scale.

WOW! That's a spectacular build!

Great!

You have not even come close to finishing. I am sticking with it, the rigging gets harder and harder, but worth it. I have added accents to the hull with algae and cannon smoke to the hull and other places. I am close to the sails and sticking to it. When I am done, I will build a floating shelf and highlight with a light. Should look pretty good.

thank, you for you're great video]👍

Yeah, that’s Delrin, which is really tough, but has that a slick surface feel and is a real pain to glue.

Neat looking structure. I like that pale blue.

Don't want to count how many times ive seen this build, but one more time won't hurt

Debating the CI throws with the ability to power the frogs. New layout in HO will be for my old DC trains but would like option to also run DCC since I have DCC setup as well sans any engines. Does anyone power their frogs for Atlas Custom-line turnouts on DC layout? Appreciate this video and will be using it as a guide.

great tip about the editing program... I have been using windows paint 3d... not great but functional... I'll try the one you use. Thanks!

I built this exact model about 10 years ago and by far, the rigging was both the most difficult and when done, the most rewarding. I decided if I ever did another similar model, I could save a lot of frustration when trying to reach in to the center at the base of the masts for tying off by starting with extra long "ropes" and first tying off to the center. This avoids trying to reach in to secure that end where even with long tweezers, As you mentioned, I also don't believe the instructions are in the optimal order as doing as much as you can to each mast before installing it would be a huge advantage. I often had to just stop and walk away and actually cool off so I didn't just smash that thing to pieces. Like you, this was my very first model of this complexity. I had only built cars until then with one being a larger indie car with lots more detail like wires, brake lines, suspension etc...(my kitten at the time destroyed it). I am a bit of a perfectionist, and even though nobody would ever notice, I wanted each rope to be attached where the instructions said to attach them. That also helps keep you from having bad angles where ropes rub against each other. Attaching the sails with all that rigging in the way was almost as difficult as the rigging itself. If I do another ship like this, I also want to throw away the plastic sails and create fabric sails with eyelets. The plastic sails tear when you try to pierce them so you can run the "rope" through them at the ends and I think at the top, where they hang, it would look more realistic if there were rope loops for it to hang on, but again, the plastic tears. I might even leave a few of the top sails "furled" just to show how that looks as well, but full sails is 50% of the appeal of this type of ship model. A lot of people don't build this model completely and leave off the sails (like you did). I think the sails, and in particular the extra sails that protrude out on the port and starboard sides, (can't remember their names) really make this model pop turning a good model into an exceptional model and should be installed. The sails are a little easier than the rigging, so why not finish it? The sails are included and should not be left off in my opinion. It took me about 400 hours to build this model. I took lots of pictures but in the end, gave it to my cousin when I moved as it's way too delicate to move. I broke a few repairable things just moving 5 hours away. Overall, nice build but it's sad you put in so much time and effort only to cut corners at the end. The sagging rigging is very noticeable. Also, the rack near the base of the masts looks like you only utilized a few of the pegs when that thing should be full with each line assigned to a specific peg and after it's attached, there needs to be a spiral of the slack rope underneath it for realism. I'm not going to pick it apart, just wish you had cut so many corners after so much time already spent.

Started this model after a serious operation, was down for a few months. I did the hull and stalled halfway thru the cannons on the lower level. Several years later, I have started the build again, since I have some time on my hands. This video, was helpful and taking your time, working on it a couple hours each day, literally, it is a string at a time and tweaking some of that. Still working on it and each day, see the progress and get excited for the final result. I have cut out the sails and glued cotton cloth to them, which are slightly soiled, so look like they have been in a battle. Also added rust and gunsmoke in various spots, for authenticity of battle.

You should do more build videos, you do a nice job and are informative qith your techniques.

Lovely model. Nice build. I’m just finishing Bars’ ‘Barn at Jackson Corner’ and I’ve found your videos inspirational.

I would like to say thank you though I know I'm only discovering your channel very late and hope you get to read my comment. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos and your builds. I don't think I'm exaggerating in saying that I probably enjoy your kit videos the most from every other channel. You take the opportunity to build up very nice, famous craftsman kits - and present to someone like me a good detailed review and understanding of the pro and cons of each kit and each manufacturer. Frankly I really enjoy how your videos are long but have space to brief so that you're able to talk through your build and your thoughts of the construction. As others have mentioned, I also take great comfort (and highly appreciate) of your frank comments and even your admission of mistakes. I think too often, social media presenters only present "finished products" or tops tips. Often when I'm building, I have a sense of "what the heck am I doing here?" Your videos teach me a lot but also give me great encouragement. There was a point when for some reason I wanted to throw away my entire line of Vallejo washes but after seeing your videos, I've decided to give them a second try and they are working well - I honestly can't remember what my unhappiness was with them. In any case, I wish you the best and the best of health. I do hope you continue building and continue posting videos like these. They are really well done. Thank you and best wishes from Singapore.

reminds me of The Addams Family house

I use a light gray color for the roof

Great video friend on this beautiful building friends

I purchased this Kit last week after viewing this Video! Nice to follow along now!
