Zvezda Varyag Part 11 The Rescue 18 months after catgate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- It has been 18 months since my Protected Cruiser catapulted off the shelf and smashed on the floor, with the emphasis on Cat! But now the Zvezda Varyag is repaired and as good as she was before. In this video will I show the build progress to date, discuss what I will do next, and have a surprise announcement at the end.

SHE LIVES!!!!!!! Awesome repair job. Now put it where Bask can't see it.
It’s locked away up high inside my new glass ship display cabinet.
Never built a ship but love to watch your ship builds. Enjoy every aspect of your videos but miss the banjo! Thanks Harry fro making my Sunday morning complete
Yes I must do some plucking on my next T.U.G.
Still watching Harry , build anything you like love listening.
So you like to listen eh? What are you wearing?
@@HarryHoudiniModels HaHa wearing a lovely fetching set of camo pants covered on glue ,putty and paint , and of course smell of flux and toilet from working today . So all in all a superb specimen.
You do sound like a catch!
Hey Harry!! Hope all is well with you. Its good to see the Veryag back together.
Thanks and yes... It is!
I’m an armor guy and I made it through! And I enjoyed the video as always!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great to see her back to her best again mate, and I'm looking forward to you other projects, keep up the good work. All the best .
Thanks, you too!
She looks great Harry! I'm and armor and aircraft guy, but if it's model building, I'm there!
Good man!
Well , this armor guy has enjoyed every Varyag video . It's a very interesting subject . Great to see her back together! To paraphrase Dan Fogelberg...
"Like a Phoenix, she has risen from the grave".
Well said! Let’s hope Bask doesn’t try to eat that bird!
😃😄
Sure looks good Harry. Yes, watched the whole video, can always learn something.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks great! Can't wait to get into my Varyag after I do this Borodino. It'll be a nice change to do something a bit cleaner and prettier.
Go for it!
Yep. That has been happening a lot.
Happy came back together.....I've lost quite a few models just stumbling, bumping into here. .illness has slowed me way down...it's a challenge these days complete a kit ..you're inspiration to carry on ...thanks Harry...
Sorry to hear that Bill... I will keep building as long as I can. I start my 7th decade in a few months.. apparently I am old...!
Outstanding work there !!!
Many thanks!
Very impressive harry it looks fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
Great looking build👍👍
Thanks 👍
Wow! she is looking beauty. I like even the petite rescue boats. This is a nice kit (I have it on my stash) but the built is fantastic too. Waiting for the video for hand railings and the other things. Best regards from the antipodes (Barcelona).
Thanks Andreu 👍 More videos out in the next months.
Really looking forward to seeing this one finished Harry. Outstanding job.
Many thanks Paul… it sits 90% complete in my display cabinet. Must get it out to add the railings, rigging and some light weathering
Thanks for all your videos, they have really helped my modelling and inspired me to do my first boat which was the Bounty. My Pola arrives today. I tend to do armour kits but also do aircraft and now ships. A lot of modelling techniques can be used across them all especially scratch building of components. I am grateful for all the experience and techniques that you and other modellers share on here.
Glad to help! My Fiume/Pola double build will start as soon as I get the rails, rigging and weathering on the Varyag.
Nice save on cat gate.👍 always great build and video Harry. I'm an Armor guy but like all modeling I'm just terrible at ships. Gave up after the Bismarck. 😁 look forward to your next video.
Thanks me too 👍
great work Harry as always I wish I could have skills to do a ship.
You can do it! Just needs practice and patience
thank you for the encouragement
Armor guy here. Made it to the closing music
Well done mate! Tanks coming up in a few days
Done a great job there Haryy👍 Love the brass Stantions for the base, and the Brass guns.
Just got my first Zvezda kits in through the door, a "Elizabethan galleon" and Vasco da gama's "Nau San Gabriel" Carrack. 🤺🤺⚓⚓
The newer Zvezda ship kits are surprisingly well made.
hi harry.she is looking very good indeed.yes i like the wooden ships but my first love is aeroplanes.stay safe and give bask a stroke.cheers tom
More aircraft planned in the next months
Harry a good friend of mine Dave Sexton told me about your Channel wonderful job I built ships to
Welcome aboard
Nice to see her all back together Harry, cats 🐈 if they only had a posable thumbs. Just heard the sad news about Wing nut wings have shut down & so will be buy my first & only kit before they disappear & rock in price. Dam virus. Looking forward to the next install. Pip pip for now.
Wingnut Wings were winding down before the virus. It was Peter Jacksons plaything to make the models he wanted. So there were many bad financial decisions made, like the Felixstowe and Gotha. Great kits, but cost more in tooling and production than they can could ever recoup in sales. Even the new Dr.I had already been outsourced to Meng, which is a good thing as Meng is selling it under their own brand now. Luckily I slowly grabbed their kits when ever I found a cheap one or they had one of the many sales. So I am stocked up for retirement.
Harry Houdini Models well I have missed the bus, the search for the Dolphin has confirmed the prices have gone silly. I am sure someone will take the moulds though! Will have to keep my eyes peeled.
There was a Wingnut Wings Dolphin going for under 10 shekels at the Club meeting last weekend in Brisbane.
I know your pain Harry (I suppose we all do, anyone who has made models has had an "incident" where we "lost a model in battle"). My golden Labrador with a tail as thick as a tree trunk smacked my Klingon K'tinga with the said tree trunk. It is/was fully lit and its main damage was one of the nacelles with about 4 lights going to it. I haven't had the heart to turn it on to see if it still lights up. Maybe one day. Congrats on floating your boat though.
It did take me 18 months to summon the courage to try
Tamiya Extra Thin should come with a warning “Buy two as you’re pretty much guaranteed to knock one over” 😁 I decant my Leveling Thinner into a used tall X20A bottle for convenience...I’ve knocked it over TWICE this weekend! Now I need another master bottle! 😩
it’s my first knock over in 50 years! Getting old.
Harry Houdini Models I’m just getting clumsy. I’m a bugger for leaving lids off things...trying to train myself out of that really bad habit! 😁
Doh!
Nice🤗
Thanks 🤗
Looking forward to the railing video.
I’ll get right on that!
LOL... yep... Armor guy watching to the end!
well done!
Always love your approach: Life's way too short for unnecessary masking jobs and PE! BTW, I am mostly an armor guy nowadays (used to do 1:32 aircraft too but no more space) I do some "ships" too (1:35 subs and mini subs, suicide boats that sort of thing ;-). The odd "real" ship as well but generally too lazy for a wood job (1 Billing boats is in the stash though). Was tempted to get a Varyag :-) :-) :-)
Be tempted
Perfect work on this ship i love it, but can you please build on the next video pola italian cruiser.
As soon as the railings, rigging and weathering is done on my Varyag, I will start the Fiume/Pola double build.
OK thank you
No problem
I've been curious for a long time, what is the yellow knife under the ship? Looks good for clumsy old hands:). Keep up the good work!
It’s a Friskas Knife. You can buy them at most hobby shops and are very nice to use. Exacto blades fit and they never roll off the table to stab your goolies.
Great vid! What's the link to the video on taping the panel/weld lines that you'd mentioned? It's a fantastic effect.
It’s this one called hull barnacles.

Do you have any tutorials on how you paint the decking Harry. They look amazing and I want to try to get a similar effect or at least try.
Yes. Part 7 of the Varyag playlist shows how I did the deck effect.

Hey Harry I am going to build a landing craft from Revell 1/35 scale the bottom of the landing craft calls out for Hull red what is the best Hull red?
There are a few variations depending on country. However Tamiya do it as XF9 as do Hataka 130, Vallejo 70.859, Ammo Mig 920 and Lifecolor UA815. To name a few. British standard colour is 448 , the Federal Standard is 10049 and RLM 28. What paint type and colour does the kit recommend and what brand of paints do you have?
@@HarryHoudiniModels I only have Mr hobby and Tamiya paints I have fx9 it looks a bit dark I thought the bottom of a ship is red best type of red on a bottom of a ship the kit colour calls out for Revell 36 which is carmine red RAL3002 matt is that correct for boats and ships?
I always mix my own... Red with a touch of black until I am happy with it.
You would get away with Carmine red on a newer craft. As I said in my first post. Hull red varied from decade to decade and country to country.
Glad she's finally finished & tucked away safe & sound after the mystery model room baz the cat/wind debacle,incident,she looks real sweet,love pre dreadnought,ironclad navy ships from this turn of the 20th century era most of all,have plenty of books on the subjects,on a different note,for the last few years now i have been scratch building a roughly 1/350 scale model of an 1890's Royal navy Royal Sovereign battleship & have finally decided to get in and finish her off now as she's around 2 thirds done?,where would be the best place online to get a brass or photo etch nameplate for my finished model,sorry this has been abit long winded,but love your ship stuff & I thought you might be the best man to ask?,i have 2 cats to contend with once she's finished btw,lolcheers

Dear Harry, when can we admire the rigging, I am curious how you will do that, beautiful model I will also build it, thanks and greetings from Rob
Weathering next, then the photoetch. Rigging will be last.
Nice video turned out sweet I just subbed
Welcome aboard Jay
Please tell, where do you buy your Stynalrez primers from ?
I have bought online from the USA, where it is made by Badger, but now I buy from the Combat Workshop in Australia.
@@HarryHoudiniModels Thank you -- I found them after a bit of searching -- Combat Company..... what's in a name anyway. :)
Ooops sorry about that... looks like they are out of stock of most neutral shades, just colours left available. But that’s ok if the colour matches your base needed for the model. Try warming the bottle in hot water for a minute before shaking... makes a big difference to the flow and prevents most tip clogs and splatter.
Hi Harry what is the best way to paint photo etch
There are different types of PE but as a general rule. Clean it with alcohol or mild soapy water. Make sure it is completely dry, then I use either a polyurethane primer like Stynylrez or a lacquer primer like the one in a Tamiya rattle can. I often paint the PE on the fret, then just touch up later after it is removed and CA glued to the model. I also use white PVA wood glue to set PE to plastic. Takes a bit longer to dry but is much more forgiving and easier to clean up. Once primed, either on or off the model, you can paint the PE with any of your usual brands.
@@HarryHoudiniModels thanks for your reply
It is quite fitting for this model to be heavily damaged and then repaired. After all, the actual ship was damaged, scuttled and then raised, repaired and operational again. Anyway, hope to see the finished model a little quicker than the Japanese returned it to the Russians.
Nice way to look at it.
Nice video Harry any idea when you’re next ww2 ship will be
Yes I do... Remember my Fiume / Polo kit comparison? I want to build them both side by side and compare the builds. Why build one cruiser, when you can build two!
Harry I meant David Jackson
good man!
sometimes i wish i had a cat that would "buy" me models
on the other hand i'm glad i don't have a cat that destroys my models
It is a two edged sword!
@@HarryHoudiniModels bloody cats carn't live with em carn't live without em
I hear ya fella
Dear Mr. Houdini:
Having been retained as legal counsel by Bask “The Cat” Houdini (hereinafter Ms. Houdini) in a defamation action against you, I would like to review the facts of the case and discuss a possible settlement. According to Ms. Houdini, you have been publicly accusing her of a tortious act regarding one of your model boats. The boat is alleged by you to have been innocently displayed on a shelf in one of your rooms. When you were not in the room and out of sight of the model, a crashing sound is said to have occurred in the room following a gust of wind and Ms. Houdini is said to have run from the room immediately thereafter. The model boat is said to have been discovered on the floor beneath the display shelf with pieces broken off, among other trauma. You have publicly accused Ms. Houdini of being responsible for the journey of the model boat from the display shelf to the floor and its accompanying damage. Yet, you admit you did not see Ms. Houdini knock the model boat from the display shelf. You only suppose Ms. Houdini had a role in the displacement of the model boat from its location on display. The alleged confession by Ms. Houdini you proffer is doubtful at best and probably coerced. At best, Sir, this is circumstantial evidence and does not prove in any way Ms. Houdini’s responsibility for the damage to your model boat and your concomitant pain and suffering. Indeed Sir, these accusations, insinuations, and insults are balderdash and will be defended with the utmost vigor or until Ms. Houdini’s last dollar, whichever comes first. No stone will be left unturned in Ms. Houdini’s defense. Expect a legal storm the likes of which the civilized world has never seen. This case will make legal history and be cited in texts for decades to come.
Of course, Ms. Houdini is open to settlement discussions to avoid what is certain to be a lengthy and stressful trial resulting in victory in her favor. Given the world-wide sullying of Ms. Houdini’s reputation, a substantial monetary offer must be made as well as significant efforts to reinstate Ms. Houdini’s former status on the world stage.
May I remind you, sir, under the English rules of civil procedure, the losing party pays all legal costs. Given the certainty of victory in my client’s case, I see a yacht in my future.
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Very truly yours,
Homunculus007

Your submission has been passed onto my legal council Snatchit, Choke and Grab, attorneys at law. Bubba will be around soon to impress upon you the pointless nature of your action and offer you the choice of either concrete swimming apparel, or a full retraction. Your call.
@@HarryHoudiniModels
Thank you for your prompt, albeit unprofessional, reply. Your ire is misdirected at me. I am merely a feline mouthpiece howling in the night against injustice. Threats of bodily harm are evidence of mens rea from which liability can be implied. The court will be very interested in this information.
In the best interests of my client, I urge you to reconsider your adversarial position in this matter and settle the case. Ms. Houdini is brokenhearted over this incident and wishes to put things right. Your settlement offer is eagerly awaited.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
It seems you did not get the message. Bubba’s wife will be measuring you for new swimming clothes, albeit made from concrete. The matter has now been settled privately with Ms Houdini via substantial recompense of fish tins. The matter is now closed.
