Awesome build! As a DDG-51 class Destroyer sailor myself, I think you did a wonderful job for the scale. It was awesome watching you put on the HF whip antennas, TACAN, and Satellite antenna domes, all of which I worked on. You did a great job!
Thanks very much! I'm glad that someone who knows this ship first-hand likes my model iteration! May i ask a question about modern warships please? What are those large off-white surfaces on the forward-facing main superstructure? some kind of wave receivers?
I really enjoyed watching this build. I was stationed on Hopper and watching this build brought back a lot of memories. At 3:16, I spent a whole day needle gunning that exact antenna platform and repainted it. Oh, all the freshwater wash downs and sweeping off standing water. Doing DC maintenance on the fire stations on the O1 deck. I remember painting the hull in port while in Australia before heading back home to Pearl when we finished our deployment. She is a fantastic vessel and I miss being at sea with her. At 9:01 you attached the emergency HF whip antenna. It has a motor to electronically raise it, but our motor never worked while I was on her. That thing takes forever to raise by crank but its a good workout. Thankfully, it was only during PMS that we had to do it. At 9:39 you have attached the amidship counter measures. They were added when we returned from deployment in 2003 and went into dry dock. Added some nice shade when doing UNREP and standing quarterdeck watch. At 13:26, what you call rigging is actually HF fan wire antenna. Had to do maintenance on those too. Getting them down is way easier than getting them back up. Some people won't even go out on the yard arms to do it. Its pretty high up and if you're afraid of heights... forget it. Easiest way to remember Port from Starboard is... Port has 4 letters, so does Left. Starboard has more than 4 and so does right. Looking forward Port is on your left and Starboard is on your right. I believe you did the lady justice for such a small scale. I'm sure Amazing Grace would approve. In everything you attempt... Dare and Do. Thank you.
Great job all around. Amazing detail work. Thanks to you and your videos I'm getting back into building models. Thanks for your time and work in making this video......
hello.. very nicely done... love all the detail... i currently do model railroading but i want to try something new... so i chose military ship building...to be more specific the 6th fleet in 1968/69... i was stationed on the Saratoga...i have purchased some model from you in the past few days.. i'm looking forward o this new adventure...thx 4 sharing.. vinny
Nice build Peter. 1/700 is such a small scale,I couldn't do it. Again the details you put into this kit was awesome. Your a real pro on those PE parts. Dont you mean "scheisse" in your comment?🤣. I dont think I spelled it correctly, but you know what I mean. It really cheered me up to watch your video. I really enjoy and look forward to seeing them. Again excellent build Peter. Have a great week and stay safe and healthy my friend. My very best to you and your family and friends. God bless. 👍👍🇦🇹🤝🇺🇸
Hi Chris! Thanks, it was a fun and enjoyable build! Yes, this is exactly what i meant :D I mean, cutting right into a part at the very beginning, just because i wanted to do it on camera... was very annoying. All the best to your family and you too, stay safe and healthy!
VERY nice! Try spraying a medium coat of paint on some softer grade of cardboard. Then place the nameplate face down gently but firmly into the paint and carefully remove it. The raised letters on the nameplate should be perfectly covered.
Hi Lawrence! This sounds like a great idea! In this case, there was no nameplate included, but in the future, it would be faster than painting each letter individually!
Hi Peter.....not to bother you to much but just seen out the USS NEW YORK LPD21 IN 1/350 SCALE. LOOKED LIKE A PROJECT YOU MIGHT ENJOY! CHEER...BEST TO YOU ALL!
Hi Jerry! I have looked into the San Antonio class some time now, they look very interesting, but until now, i havent come around one that is reasonably priced. But i'd like to make it, thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Mike! Sometimes i sell them, sometimes i give them away as gifts, but usually i keep them around for some time after finishing them until i run out of storage space again :)
I recently finished my one 200 scale USS Missouri build with the Pontos kit and it came out fantastic my titanic one 200 is on the way with the KA model kit but watching your modern worship builds I Purchased the Oliver hazard Perry in one 350 with a Pontos Kit now I have a lot to do now LOL thanks to you 🙏🏼cheers from Canada

Terrific work on the paintwork and rigging, Lovely build all round

Wow amazing!!
@14:33 the left side, in naval language, is ,port. The right side of the ship is called, starboard.

@@funinscale2892 hi Peter glad to do it. I saw another your new vision but haven't had time to watch it. Stay safe best to all there!
@@jerrymccrae7202 Stay safe and healthy as well, Thanks, Jerry! I would be happy if you got around to watch the new video too!
can traditional modelling cement be used to glue the PE parts to the model?
It looks great even if she's a bit on the small side at 1/700.
Do you wash the sprues before cutting them??
Hi matt! I usually dont wash the sprues before making a model, i have never had issues with molding residue or oily films
I need to know what do you do at the mall keep them sell them I’m curious
Hi Mike! Sometimes i sell them, sometimes i give them away as gifts, but usually i keep them around for some time after finishing them until i run out of storage space again :)
Your Chanel is one of my favourites, you have brought me back to modeling again after years of not doing one and I’m so thankful
