That one is a really beautiful model! We hope that you wouldn't stop on it at would create more warships models:)
Didn't expect WoW here.
So...when are you gonna fix the modeling in the game? Just sayin
hey can u plz give WoWs legends carriers after the French update
Hey World of Warships, I Know you probably won't Read this but if so, can you add Aircraft carriers to World of Warships Legends?
Oh wow is WoW
6:20 "I start with the easy and large parts first." *Picks up a 2mm wide structure.*
I thought the same thing, when he said I'll start larger easier parts that's if that's large and easy the small and detailed parts will need a microscope to see
@@tonyallen8626 An electron microscope in some cases. I'm surprised he never has issues with focusing the camera.
This guy is very good.
Then I came across Ebroin's Miniatures..... oh my....
That guy is a few levels higher.
Compared to some of the microscopic parts, or those with microscopic detail, a 2mm part is easy 😂
im with plasmo on this one, i bought a bismark kit that resembles his and the photo etched parts are really small. these "large" parts are actually big compared to most of the photo etched parts of the kit
This guy has a genuine gift when it comes to modeling. I don’t know anyone else with the patience to do what this guy does
Me, building a GW Space Marine: Dang, this is small.
PLASMO, building a hanger smaller than his thumbnail: It was tolerable, only 20 extra parts for one hanger.
Right? I don't have steady enough hands for stuff that small.
I ❤ Warhammer
Oh GOD there are two hangars.
@@CompetitionChris same I can only build 1/32 or bigger which means I can't build ships like this. And it's hard finding certain tanks and planes in 1/32 but I can only build that scale.
@@ferrusmanus184 i hate games workshop. i like the warhammer books
Now imagine what the Germans felt like, when the Bismarck sank, after they've been fiddling with such small parts for years.
Yeah i know, must have been pain
I'm sure this thing was harder to build than the original.
@@Brez6645 Nah man. On the real thing all of these small parts are made of even smaller parts! Imagine the frustration of accidently dropping a piece of the internal workings of a 20mm gun from up on the superstructure and having to comb every inch of the life sized deck for it. And then imagine that same piece ended up on the bottom of the Atlantic on the ship's maiden voyage anyway so it didn't matter.
"Nein~Nein~Nein~........."
Capsideing the Hood worth every fiddling!
You forgot to put Capt. Lindermann 's coffee pot on the bridge.
peterv56 it’s there. He made it decafe with two sugars.....
did he really had a coffee pot?
Great comment.
And some say it still lays there on the bridge of the Bismarck
They had a Keurig coffee maker on the bridge instead........
This kit is giving me anxiety, and I'm not even building it.
Why?
@@juanmanuel2002 small ass parts that easly lost
anxiety?? I could watch him ALL DAY!!
@@roxle9905 it's not storage that's the problem, it's when you're handling them, if you accidentally drop one part goodluck finding it, from experience it's even worse with shaky hands
@@primelover92 it's not even difficult to find small parts just try to sweep the floor until you find the parts or use a flash light but it be would time consuming and learn to relax if you have shaky hand and model kits require serious concentration since their like puzzle so relax since relaxing in crease concentration
The Nazi symbol on kit models issues has been going for yeaaaarsss, I'm so pissed that i argued with someone on the forum last year over this stupid thing, that need to stop. Displaying the symbol on the model is merely just for historical accuracy and authenticity, not meaning following the movement
I agree
It ticks me off too. What’s the point in censoring history?
Agreed
If anyone complains about something that's historic or historically accurate i dismiss them as stupid. And if there's one thing you don't bother with, is stupid people. They have well rested minds. Kinda reminds me of Ian from Forgotten Weapons who had to deal with this crap as well.
You should never cover up history, no matter how bad it was it did still happen
David, If this level of detail is how you relax, you must be a brain surgeon for your day job. Yes?
James Brooks Nah doing surgery on an cell’s organs is his day job
I'm not building as detailed ships as Plasmo, but the most important thing is to find the point where you need to stop
Sven T. I agree, but to be fair, a lot of people might disagree on that
@@consul.5557 Yes, because this is my experience
He has monopoly on all of cellproduction as he is the only one able to create them!
I don't know what is more mind blowing; the people who created a model with such amazing levels of details, or the model builder who does such a phenomenal job of putting it all together.
I’ve shown your video to the sunken Bismarck. He was so proud of your work, I could have seen tears of joy on him.
I've built models since 1965 and I'm into aircraft and cars. I've only built two boats in my 62 years, a Vietnam War era PBR (think "Apocalypse Now") and a WWII era PT boat. Both came out really nice, in my humble opinion, but this build is a work of art. Too bad he felt the need for the disclaimer and an almost apology for the Swastika. It's a part of our history whether you like it or not.
People have gotten so sensitive nowadays, its the aftermath of PC media.
@Cringey Libtard
I didn't say that it was, its just that people have gotten too sensitive that a disclaimer has to be made. Its like what he said, its part of history, whether you like it or not.
I suppose he is living in Germany. If so, the disclaimer is necessary due to the law.
@@laigeng the correct answer. Or so it won't be blocked in Germany.
Do you have any F/A-18 models you recommend or beginners?
Nazis or not Nazis, the Bismarck was a beautiful ship
Obsidian Black beautiful or not, it finally ended up on the bottom of the ocean.
@@Ilovepineapple It hat the same flaw that sank the Yamato. It was not built to protect itself from aircrafts. No mayor anti-air weaponry and lack of armor on the roofs and deck made bombs dropped by planes *very* effective.
@@timogeerties3487 They were ships built for an era that had passed.
@@SeekerLancer the Yamato was built for and finished during WW2. But unlike the US fleet, it wasn't capable of fighting at night and fending off planes.
@brsrbck first immobilized by planes to a point it was effectively incapable of defending itself from enemy ships, then sunk by destroyer torpedoes.
Both the Bismarck and the Tirpitz were light years ahead of any other Battle ships at the time, they were the greatest marine engineered vessels ever built, and I've had some arguments about that statement but I always win the argument when I state that it took a whole Navy of Battlewagons to sink Her, I built my first model of the Bismarck when I was fourteen years old and that was in 1962, and I have just finished my second build of Her just recently, I also built her sister ship Tirpitz 28 years ago and set it in a rough sea scene four feet long in a glass case it is staggering to observe, both models are 1/350 scale and are on shelving in my lounge room and will be inherited by my grandson's , however watching your video was quite relaxing and you have done a superb job, well done.
I dont even make models, i just like to watch your work. Its so relaxing and you do an amazing job! The details you put into the models is crazy.
You should try, its like alcochol and drugs (only it does not affect your health) you get in to it easly, i spend like 500euros last year on models and i want more
I am pretty stunned by this... myself was building 1/700 Waterline Models for many years, but 25 years in the past. But not on this level and accuracy. Great, fantastic, mindblowing work ! Thanks
Even the toughest details have no exuses... Plus the recording of this footage...
Patience level: God
Pride of a nation,
A beast made of steel.
Bismarck in motion,
King of the ocean.
He was made to rule the waves
Across the seven seas"
OMG I LOVE THAT SONG
SABATONS NEW SINGLE!
Man of culture as well...
Across the *seven* seas.
TO LEAD THE WAR MACHINE, TO RULE THE WAVES AND LEAD THE KRIEGSMARINE
THE TERROR OF THE SEAS, THE BISMARCK AND THE KRIEGSMARINE
Holy moly - all the details, and such patience. But then it became a fantastic model too. 👍🏼👍🏼😊😊
And it made me think of the shipbuilders who built the real ship - what a job and engineering it must have been, at a time with no computer run laser or plasma cutters and no robots.
I really appreciate that companies take the time to create such kits and accessories in such detail. Miles ahead of what was available when I was young.
Funny thing is, Bismarck was one of very few ships considered as a male. It was the king of the sea.
That's because the ship was named after Otto von Bismarck. Idiot brianlet!
@@tsar_zo8007 You do know that has absolutely nothing to do with it correct? For example: The prinz eugen, the blüncher, the admiral Scheer, the admiral Graf Spee, the admiral Hipper, ect. The real reason it was male was because Captain Lindermann requested it be referred to as such.
@@kickazz3638 Look at any war ship named after men, The General Bengrano, King George etc. People never refer to them as "she". It isn't unique at all
@@tsar_zo8007 I... I literally just named a assload that do get referred to as she, and the king George was referred to as she by multiple crew mates. Here's a quote from David Woodward as to why: "Ships, like, for example, vases, generally symbolise femininity because they are vessels; like the womb, supposedly a woman's defining characteristic, their function is to contain. This is the flipside of the phallic symbols traditionally embodied in spires, towers, etc."
and here's one from Helen E. Mundler:
"Ships are frequently or even usually female, but not always. In particular, in the Second World War the German battleship Bismarck, and another ship built to the same specifications, were regarded as being so magnificent that they were described using male terms."
There's multiple quotes from multiple professionals explaining why they're normally female, the Bismarck and it's brother being the exception.
@@kickazz3638 But on official records, King George was a he and so waz every other ship in the Kriegsmarine.
The fact that the disclaimer at the beginning was necessary perfectly shows how stupid the world has gotten. (Edit):guys please stop having arguments in the replies on this comment I’m tired of you blowing up my notifications.
@Cringey Libtard what?
@Cringey Libtard chill dude it's just for the historic aspect of it. No ones a nazi here we just like history ok. The fact is yes it did happen yes it was horrific but getting offended over a model isn't going to do anything.
I LOVE ISRAEL AND JEWS
@Cringey Libtard
The 1st world war was caused by austria-hungary. And later a nice man out of austria became leader of germany just because of an economic crisis. So you can blame the austrians for both world wars.
Nathan Weigel : I was just thinking exactly the same thing. This madness has to stop.
The amount of Time and Patience this guy has is insane, these take hours EVEN DAYS to make. Mad Respect!
Takes months actually
I have built models for over 50 yrs but with age and poorer eyesight I have more or less quit, and seeing this, I am amazed with your´s !!!!!
You should make a ww1 trench diorama, built one recently, quite fun to do
Thanks. I will try to.
There is one in my school in Warsaw
nice to see u there my friend :D
@@idaemonplasmo oh please do! like very dirty and with water!
Yeah that would be so cool!
Holy SHIT David, this is the most insane thing you've ever posted, no wonder you've been MIA for a while!
I love it. You rock.
nah.. he just rarely upload videos
I just got one... with the upgrade kit... and I'm ordering a wooden deck... I already hate myself for taking this thing on lol
8:26 "This kit is definition of insanity" . My man you are genius... No words can describe this level of patience and determination. Also i use your videos to learn a lot and mind relax in the same time...
Putting aside the Bismarck’s history, this ship was honestly such a magnificent ship, I love your model as well!
"Oh wow." on repeat every other minute.
Amazing build. I hope we can see more ships like this, perhaps a Yamato or Fuso one day? :D
Spechless...the amount of details is amazing! Keep up the amazing work!
Absolutely stunning finished product, makes me wish I could see the real ship in person.
Some facts on the history of the ship and of the people in command-- I feel it is necessary with the comments and disclaimer at beginning of the video:
The Bismarck was built by Blohm and Voss shipbuilders in Hamburg, Germany. The Captain Ernst Lindemann (who I am related to on my mother's mother's side) was an "old school" mariner of the German Navy and had no political ties to the Nazi party, he was a somewhat quiet and stoic yet brilliant leader and Captain whom the crew admired deeply. Admiral Lutjens was the uncouth subversive last- minute addition to the command line on the ship who retained direct connection to the party and Adolph's chief of staff, it was under Lutjen's orders from high command to have the swastika painted on the deck along with emblem flags flown on standard-- Captain Lindemann wanted to preserve the older, much more respected and regal Iron cross and Kriegsmarine standards to be flown and this prompted much discord and disdain between the two men fighting for control of the ship and his survival.
Other executive decisions on Lutjen's part ultimately doomed the Bismarck after the initial engagement that sank the Hood and lightly damaged Bismarck causing oil loss, then after his rudder was damaged and stuck, whereas Lindemann wanted to get to port for the repairs and pressured Lutjens to concede it necessary-- secondarily, their escort Cruiser Prinz Eugen was recalled by high command/ sent to continue attacking merchant convoys and in turn left Bismarck alone and floundering unnecessarily. The brave men of this beautiful vessel blame Lutjens and high command for the loss of life and the ship.
You can read the best version of the events that happened from the German POV via Baron Von Mullenheim Rechberg's book aptly titled, "Battleship Bismarck"-- he was there for all of it's life in the early days of the war and survived his sinking. It contains excellent photos of the ship from both sides and the shipbuilders as well as the crew and daily ongoings aboard the ship alongside the awe- inspiring details of every combat engagement up to his sinking.
My father was on the HMS Rodney on the night Bismarck was sunk, it was a fantastic piece of military engineering.
@@grottonisred6541 That's epic, what rich history to dive into there. Absolutely. Cheers mate.
Man this is sure a golden age for building model kits! The detail in this model out of the box is mind boggling!
The Germans built beautiful ships. The lines were so clean and I'm so glad you showed the way she was historically correct. Admiral Lutgens would enjoyed this model. Extremely well done
Their uniforms are aesthetically gorgeous too, they really put everything for looks even for their ships xD
Everything the Germans used during WWII was cool as fuck. They are brilliant engineers, and very detail oriented.
Just look at the Ta 152 H
Chris McRoy exactly
@@hashteraksgage3281 is that the one with the LONG wings. If so I like the DO-335B2 better.
kit: has tiny photo-etch parts that are difficult to build
Plasmo: A small price for some detail
I found myself holding my breath as you were connecting two tiny parts together. Sir you have talent.
Wow! I almost cried watching this build! Your skill and patience are second to non!!! I could never do something as intricate so thank you for sharing.
Unbelievable, unglaublich. So many Details. I hope your eyes are fine. Great work David.
Your eyesight gets better when you do tiny stuff like this, it's exercise.
Those tiny planes you built look better than my 1:48 ones...😂
Ya same 😭
Amazing, reminds me of the Bismarck wood model i was making a long time back, time to open it up i guess, and will try to complete it after almost 10 years of shelving...
Omg yes you should
The line between genius and madness is, they say, a thin one, in this gentleman's case it's an artful straddle, very impressive skills.
Thanks to this video, I bought this model myself and have started working on those small gun turrets, this really is pure insanity but I'm looking forward on completing mine :) Perfect build and nice paint job.Keep up the good work :)
Keep at it. Ships models; are just iteration. Lots of things to repeat. Patience and care will get you there.
THE best ship model I have ever seen and your mastery of etched metal parts is quite incredible......superb!
I've seen only a few of your videos, but from this one I understand completely just how precise you are after seeing you work with all of those small, intricate parts. Beautiful work, sir!
Hello mister plasm!your patience to conquer that chunk of plastik is highly admirerable.your work is an inspiering shiny beacon in the world of scalemodelling.and thats not lickspitteling.its the truth.i know i am not alone with my oppinion. With best regards and sticky greetings. Your friend in sprues.christian
I don't even have words to describe how astonishing your work is. Every time I think I've seen something impossible to beat, you do just that.
Three drunk swordfish pilots are about to demonetize this video for that swastika.
You do not know what you are talking about, ignorant silly little boy.
Vince Paul Chill out my guy it’s a joke.
Deipatrous I mean I think I’m making a joke about how the Bishmark was sunk by three outdated British Swordfish torpedo bombers while also tying in another joke about how RUclips unfairly demonetizes anything having to do with German history under the pretenses of it having to be Nazi advocation.
Vince Paul Lol mkay, sowwy.
@@DrWhom he's joking
I can't believe the detail but especially the sanding and different applications of paint and the way you bring models to life, it blows me away. Thank you, beyond cool.
how time flies. 45 yrs ago as a boy of 13 I build a 38 cm revell model of this battleship. colourscheme is identical. but you are a real pro.
Bismarck model - "Watchmakers" only edition.
Had to come back to your build after seeing Sabatons new video
Beautiful build and great piece of history. May the sailors who lost their lives in the Atlantic during ww2 be forever at peace
Dude, my eyes got damaged from all those details. You should receive a Nobel prize for this one. Amazing job. You're like a God of plastic models.
After watching your video’s im ashamed for my impatience when I do something. May God reward you in all lives for your amazing skills
6:20 yeah, let's start with easy, large parts. Thought he was joking when he started to fold that thing then 7:23 happened ;D
When you want to draw a perfectly straight line across a model, all you have to do is take a flashlight, perfect would be a narrow beam one, and point it perpendicular to the area you want to mark. Then, you take a piece of thick paper (or very straight cut cardboard) and place it until the line on your model, matches photo reference. Once that's done, you trace with a 0.5 mechanical pencil that has a H type lead inside (Rotring). Harder lead means you have a thin crisp line that doesn't affect your painting in any way, obviously, you don't want too much pressure as you might scratch the under coat.
ALTERNATIVELY, if you have a projector, you can project the image (scaled up) to the model directly. A lot of old movie props were done in a similar fashion using retro projections from artists' sketches.
Huh, good thinking
Nice idea
Just get a cheap laser pen or better, a laser projector, that is used to mark walls. You can get them quite cheap and they give you a crisp straight line on any surface.
You do great work! I’m laid up recovering from surgery so I get to re-watch all you work!
These videos will definitely make recovery easier thank you
The level of detail is breathtaking, you expect little people come running out on deck. I kid you not, I have had the privilege to see with my own eyes the 1:50 B&V model built in parallell with the ship at the Hamburg yard. A very impressive model with quite an interesting history of it’s own. With all respect for the lives lost through the time and life of this exceptional battleship, I must say your build has an edge to it with the smaller scale, eye for detail and the weathering/wear effects. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing build. Simply amazing detail in such a small model.
Great work on that Ship Wow, thumb up.
Siempre lo he dicho, tienes unas manos divinas. Gracias Plasmo por este súper detallado de este gran barco Alemán, el BISMARK
What a madlad you are to actually put these mini-parts! Respect and what a nice model!
You are insane--in the best possible way.
My Grandfather was a officer in the British Royal Navy. He had been assigned to the Hood and would have been on her when she was sent under the waves by the Bismark but, Royal Naval Command re-assigned him to the HMS Dorsetshire. He was on board HMS Dorsetshire when she sent those 3 torpedoes into the Bismark. My Grandfather lost a lot of his friends when the Hood was sent under by the Bismark
I wish i could jist sit down and listen to the stories he has
@@imposter0shadow So do I. He died before I was born.
@@dolphfren sorry to hear that. Theres so few veterans of ww2 left today. As an American thank you for your grandfather and his service!
@@imposter0shadow Thank you.
As someone that builds Gunpla, the level of care you put to this is amazing.
How respectful of you to publish the disclaimer at the beginning of the video, you make a beautiful model.
That is insane! - the tiny pieces! the tweezers! I would have had several bits lost or stuck to my fingers! Perhaps you should have been a heart surgeon :-) - Fabulous work!
Would absolutely love to see you do a series almost of the great WW2 battleships, as you’ve already done the Bismarck it would be amazing to see models of the Hood, Yamato, and Iowa in this level of amazing detail
It'd be cool if he could built them, then put them in battle scenes together like the Hood v Bismark and Yamato v Iowa or something like that.
God, I feel so many emotions at seeing you work, from utter admiration to absolute and complete STRESS. I cannot imagine myself doing this.
Simply amazing. Holy shit.
Amazing job! Mind boggling. Brilliant workmanship. Attempting to assemble a kit like this would reduce me to tears!
Flyhawk are masters of amazing detail in small scales. Check out their 1/72 Panzers. Superb build. 😊
I think Flyhawk has the best kits. I never saw anything with such small and sharp details and I already saw a lot of kits from different brands. I already purchased 5x HMS Prince of Wales for friends and 3x Bismarck, so I am a good customer. :-D
Looks epic!
Beautifully done and I salute your historic knowledge and enthusiasm. History should be remembered and learned from to grow and not forgotten and the knowledge lost.
Amazing!!! The beauty of the ships back in the day was stunning.
Impressive, Most impressive.
-Darth Vader
Impressive, Most impressive
-Adolf Hitler
A pity this ship ended sunk. A gorgeous model. And crazy detailed
You, sir, seem to possess almost superhuman patience and eye-hand coordination ! It's such a pleasure to witness your superb work-- thanks for sharing it with us !
Outstanding work and especially the attention to detail in the painting. I have a Graf Spee in dry dock and your work is very helpful - thank you for posting.
You are the best model maker on You Tube - and there are some really good ones out there.
You've lost your Mind David! This build is insane!
I was going crosseyed watching this. The level of small detail is brutal.
Amazing job.
The amount of patience needed to complete a task such as this. My hats off to you.
damn dude, you're like a surgeon with those small parts
Yup, he could work on my brain any day! Just a figure of speech you understand, but you get it! LOL.
Yaaay a new video from the master🤣👌🏿👍🏿
@Plasmo Hi David, Flyhawk is preparing a 1/700 model of Hood. My group, the HMS Hood Association, are assisting them. I hope you considering building it as a companion piece to this most excellent model of Bismarck. Unlike 99.99% of the commenters here, I actually knew veterans from BOTH ships and I think they’d have been amazed at the excellence of your work. I have no doubt that in your hands, the final model of Hood would turn out perfect (just like your Bismarck).
Truly stunning ! A great build that was wow! It's was a pleasure to see you work this ship from ground up! 👍👍👍
Your work is museum quality! Superb video and patience!
"This kit is the definition of insanity" - I think I'll stick to clip together Spitfires!
After every video I get more surprise and more amazed how precise and detailed you can get in those model!
'just watched another video of yours, after which I saw this Bismarck build... an absolutely beautifully built model, is all I can say. And I'll be watching more of your builds, too...
Just finished my Bismarck and now you do this video xD.
The only thing that would make this better, is the sabaton song
Bismarck in motion , King of the ocean 😎
@@Noah-cs6lv *HE WAS MADE TO RULE THE WAVES ACROSS THE 7 SEAS*
Thanks for taking the time to share your build. I really enjoyed watching your video
My mind is blown up...........................THIS MAN IS BOTH CRAZY AND AWESOME!! Great work and keep up the good work.
this model would drive me crazy with all of the parts it has
So much better detailed than Trumpeter or Revell, the AA guns, the small Arados, excellent decals etc.
Basically, Flyhawk is eduard turned up to 11, as you get a great, highly detailed kit with a lot of p.e. parts
to super the model even more.
As usual, your work is absolutly stunning and borders on madness. Keep it up, but grant you eyes and fingers some rest. ;D
My God David, you have the patience of a Saint ! It really did look quite beautiful when completed, especially the cute little planes in camouflage ! I can't decide whether the manufacturers make these kits to give the modeller something to really tax them to make such a detailed and complete structure, or whether they do it to send them completely insane. Great video as always - thanks for sharing your amazing skills yet again.
the amount of detail here is just insane. you didn't even have to do half of the things you did, and yet you still did them. applause my man
Another great build that was well thought out in advance. That was not a very good moulding though. There was a great deal of flash on the parts and a fair few sink marks. Good job!
ps. What a crap world we live in! You should not feel you have to defend any symbols used on historical models. And a note for Snowflakes: You can not edit history by leaving them off.
It's not about "snowflakes", it's about legalities - something that needs to be considered when playing to an international audience. Having complete swastikas in the kit would make the model illegal for sale in Germany, significantly reducing the potential customer base. And not having the disclaimer could get the video struck, or worse - significantly effecting David's income and/or lifestyle. You may not like it, but sometimes you just put forth a little effort to get along with the world.
It's not really a bad thing that one should mention one is not a nazi when displaying nazi iconography. There are still real people who consider themselves nazis, here in the modern world. So, it makes sense to me to throw in a quick disclaimer. Like, hey guys I'm not a friggin nazi, ok?
Now, if someone argues that a video like this one IS pro-nazi, well, that person is an idiot and should be roundly mocked.
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!
@@Jesse__H Yes, all military modelers get occasional grief for any model they do, tanks and aircraft in particular. "War toys" they call them, not so much lately, but did note that in the past, when parents stopped buying kids bb guns, cap guns, and such, in 70-80's. We are not "war mongers", we are in effect "military historians", in our small way! And we enjoy the "peace" and calm and satisfaction our hobby brings to our otherwise sometimes hectic hard working lives!
The worst part is when you have to buy a huge decal sheet with swastikas of different sizes b/c you have 5 models in your stash that's you've been not building b/c Airfix and Revell have been omitting it from the decals.
Wow! Incredible work! Please do a 1/350 ship....maybe a cruiser like Prinz Eugen or like the IJN Atago...
The level of detail in this kit is unbelievable in this small scale!
Your amazing!! The details that you put on your models are phenomenal!! I love any and everything WWII. And this one was really a treat to watch you build!
