Outstanding work!!!

I iend to place the gun carriages when closing up, then add the barrels - guns - later using super glue. Through the gun ports

Hi Andy, did you do a video on the ships rigging?

Where is the ship’s wheel?

Looks great! I'm sorry you have to use Humbrol since your British...

Epic! I love all the details!!

Excellent. I like very much that you kept the original paint as is. I enjoyed watching the process.

Yikes. I thought my Vallejo gloss varnish was difficult, yet it had never shredded the paint. Having said that, I wouldn't touch Humbrol with it barge pole. I don't miss enamel paint at all. Once I get started on the Yamato (yes, I followed the link you left me on Reddit), I'm probably going to use Tamiya lacquer for the first time instead of acrylics. Fingers crossed it is straightforward. 😊❤😊

Cool build. I got both the Tamiya Tirpitz and Bismarck myself, which I completed a few years back. Too bad with the Humbrol paint. Did you use any base coat or primer that the enamel paint reacted with?

Amazing job you have done, fantastic.

Nice work sorry for your paint job

I'll assume that what we have here is a WWII US jeep that has been modified for UK postwar service by adding additional marker lights and has had a newer M38 recoilless rifle windscreen added. Being a WWII enthusiast, I recommend ditching the newer windscreen for a correct type. (I see you took my advice :). The horn is likely a UK replacement that I can live with. The saddest part is the rear body panel being eliminated. This can be rectified (no rush) as replacement body parts are available. Then at the ending, sadly, you have to spoil the whole works by wasting money and time on the postwar replica stuff. :( Having bemoaned this, if you object is to show the vehicle as a postwar UK service item, that is a different tale.

I built my "Superbe" some time ago, I really enjoyed the time spent there. Of course, the instructions are a bit unclear. I added a video. ruclips.net/video/Oow_BmnFgRI/видео.htmlsi=6QT18Azbc1edx67O

Hi Andy, just bought the kit. What make of calligraphy pens did you use. Thanks for the videos, learned some lessons.

You modeling skills are much better than I could ever be. But it's the concepts and ideas for some of your dioramas that are among the best I've seen and which I think even more important. This is brilliant.

An exceptional idea for a diorama. The vivid colors for a captured tanks that was put back in the field by opposing forces would be correct as are the hand painted crosses, both a level of authenticity most people might shy away from. As opposed to technical or artistic perfection, I believe a diorama should primarily convey details of an event. You had done so splendidly.

Im thinking of starting a project like this can you tell me wear to find this jeep parts catolog! Great video and a really great jeep

Amigo, que manera de sufrir y la alegría cuando arranco el motor!!!!! Sentí que lo estaba armando con vos. Excelente trabajo y puesta en marcha. Creo que solo falto ver la conexión de las luces traseras. Felicitaciones!!!!!! Hermoso Willys!!!!! Gracias por el video.

tamiya super thin is not meant to be brushed on on the sides of the hull before you fit them together like old brush bottle glues! Clamp/tape the sides together, and apply it in the seams, it will wick in between, and disolve the plastic and evaporate welding the plastic together in no time at all. its a pure solvent glue, there are no thickeners added and should not be used like the old types.

A very WOW jeep enjoy it looks so original...

A bit of advice from Denmark: You changed out a perfectly fine original carb to manifold gasket. The repro ones with the copper bushings in the holes are crap, and should never have been invented. The copper prevents the gasket from compressing, and intake leaks are often seen with those. Find an original one without the copper bushings, or remove them from the gasket (or reuse the old one if it is not broken).

Scania trucks are where the engine comes from You will see then all over Europe, Ed 40 S of Vegas USA

Absolute work of art!!

Outstanding work.

Wooden boats kind of live , I mean they have life …. But that also means ……

Many thanks, Andy. I found your film fascinating, if sad and frustrating. My interest in Vita is with who she carried in 1941; she's mentioned several times in my research. Hopefully, an organisation - an oil company or similar, or an individual will step forward to save her. She certainly doesn't appear derelict, and clearly a lot of time, money and energy has already been spent. With a final push she can be saved for the benefit of all.

New keel. wow , hardis part is done .... SAVE IT.

Try to find some body , to save it.

That Boat is tolly fix able ,,, That motor would , maybe run.

So sad surely it could have put on dry land

Nice. Se denne videoen, her sirkulerer vi en gammal fiskebåt. / Recycling an old fishing boat. ruclips.net/video/FRvnt_nfMXY/видео.html

what a shame, such history lost

So it seems like my video has caused a stirr in some circles! Therefore I would like to adress some points: - The cost of restoring the ship is calculated to be around 1,8- 2,0 million pounds, not 1,0 like I claimed in the video. - The timber in the hull has been throughly analysed by experts and found to be in very poor condition, although it apeared to me to be in good shape; this is not the case - Vita was lengthened and modernized in 1957, and few parts of the original Shetland boat is still part of the vessle today. She was therefore NOT perserved as a Shetland bus, but as an example of a traditional norwegian 1950- fishing boat. - Some parts have been salvaged from the ship and will be put on an exibit on The Coastal Museum of South-Trøndelag. I'm glad to get corrections on the things I was wrong about. One thing is to perserve history, but then we have to get it right. To learn more about the ship and the reasons for its scrapping, check out the ships official website here : kystmuseet.no/avhending-av-vita

SKAMMELIG DETTE😢. Vi får vel heller ta en tur på munck museet eller på operaen.😂 historie og kystkultur er lite verdt i desse nye tider😢

Absolutely a tragedy, yes. And unfortunately not the only one - countless older vessels with historical value, decay and rot along the Norwegian coast due to lack of money .. Often a single person or group has started rescue and reconstruction, but has to give up after a while due to too extensive work and lack of funds..

Your Government is mad!, to scrap such heritage that played an important part in freeing your country and Europe from Nazi Germany is tragic! My Scottish Grandfather along with thousands others died in Europe in WW2 so we today all could live our lives as free people, the boat should be sat on a keyside as a memorial to these unsung heroes who risked everything for human freedom 😢 Kind regards Bruce

I have many parts that may interest you. If interested let me know and i will leave you email.

HOW YOU CAN WORK IN THAT COLD I DO NOT KNOW, BUT YOU WOULD NOT LIKE MY 115 DEG. F EITHER.

Nice, maybe a tad more rust and grime on the tank. I still really like it.😊

Très beau diorama 🇫🇷🇬🇧

The big part was having it inside with someone who actually kept it somewhat nice.... mine was left outside and had bubba working on it

Dude that's awesome!

Well adjusting the valves wasn’t a waste of time so that’s one thing done. Greendot319 i’m sure is a great resource for Jeep restoration

When will the next video of this model come out?

Stop saying Jesus Christ It's your fault that you are a idiot , not his.

Btw, keep in mind toilet paper contains acid and will dissolve as years go by

Fantastic video, you see now how a jeep has a soul. As far as you not having the right size feeler gauge to adjust your valves, you do. Just add fellers on your set together to equal the right size. It's so nice to see your passion and how you saved her life. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for video. I got a big pleasure seeing your work. Good luck. Remind from Russia.

I live in Belgium and did my military service in Germany Siegen 1974 and there I drove a lot with Willy Jeep and I thought that was absolutely cool, I don't know why I want to recreate a scale model of Willy on scale of 1/16 or 1/15 in wood or plastic ? and your work here is beautiful and I am actually jealous of it👍and cool that you speak English, at one point I saw that the driver's window was no longer a double separated one and also on your wedding ride👌💌and on the parade again a separated windows for the weapon ? also a metal rod (with a slight fold) is missing in the engine part from the hinge point under the hood and the radiator and on that radiator there is a metal angle piece with 90 degrees to be able to mount this (to ensure the radiator is secure). 👍😉

Thank you, Andy!
