The sloped part on the hanger deck side wall under the island is probably the uptakes for the funnel . The 3 lower spots may be clean out access for the stack .
"Gravity goes down" is something we all need to remember and all too often ignore
I consider it a “life hack” at this point.
The area behind that area with the three door like openings is where the Funnel come up through the Ship
I used Tamiya gun metal on the inner deck. Looks great
Awesome detail paint job 👍
My father was in the Navy. He used to tell me how incredible these ships were. I followed him into the service, but I was in the Air Force for 38 years. I have a love for these ships and aircraft from WW II and going forward. I have dabbled a bit in building small ships and aircraft, but am mostly a car model builder. I found your channel and have enjoyed this video and will watch more. I have subscribed to you. Great build!!
Thanks Larry!
Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Was in the AF for 20yrs. Was an Air Traffic Controller, so was either in the Tower or Radar facilties. Even from the Tower you could smell that nice, burnt jet fuel. Loved every minute of it!! Great job on the model, I'm building mine along with you.
In the Navy, walls are called bulkheads.
Using a fan tip on the air brush should eliminate the spotting that is shown on camera from the overlaps. Takes some practice but would have made the steel look more consistent and flat.
Looks really good, Ben.
Our hanger bay floor was covered in "nonskid", black, and the pad-eye's were painted white, each and every one! Was also super clean to avoid debris getting into the engines. Pretty much the US Navy went with the philosophy of "keeping it simple stupid" and everything was painted gray, unless it was an important item.
Just my 2 cents, great model and doing a great job, love it!
Ben, I recall visiting museums where they displayed the dockyard models. Large scale and made of wood and metal. I don't believe they are made anymore, sure you get plastic hulled models, but not those hefty, intricate representations that thrilled me as a kid. There must be a dockyard model of the Missouri somewhere, I believe Blohm+Voss still have the dockyard model of the Bismark at their Hamburg facility. I am just running off at the mouth. You made a superb job of the Titanic.
Greetings from Russia, great job, I have one too - soon I will start collecting too - good hobby
Looks good so far. As a fellow Airman, I can safely say that there is nothing like the smell of jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, oils, and grease in the morning to start your day. Oh, and let's not forget the smell of jet exhaust to get going that you can smell a mile away. Worked on Strike Eagles at Seymour Johnson in the early 2000's.
From books I’ve read my understanding is that as soon as America went to war all ships were ordered to remove paint from interior spaces, because they already knew it was flammable.
Hey Ben, i believe the angled section with the indented "doorways" is actually where the boiler uptakes and smoke stack that line up on the island above. I have the same book you have on the Enterprise by Doyle. Great reference. I think you do a great job. I have been watching since the Missouri build. I'm using these vids for ideas on my 1/350 I Love Kits (old Merit) USS Enterprise 1942 variant. Battle of Midway to be specific. Can't afford the 1/200th. Spent close to $500 on the kit and Pontos upscale with wooden flight deck. I'm in the process of moving to a new state and the build is on hold now. Love your vids.
I Love this subject matter WWII Enterprise. This would be a fun build. Also thats a great Adam Savage episode you are watching at 14:51
It’s fantastic! I watch a lot of his stuff.
The hangar deck turned out great Ben! Try some satin varnish to get that semi gloss appearance. Have a great one! Regards Kenneth
Great idea, Kenneth! Thanks!
I thought the part of why the paint was removed was great. Not only did it show your attention to detail it's fascinating to learn the little things about these ships not commonly known. As an enthusiast and restorer of WW2 small arms I would say the research is just as satisfying as the finished product.
Ben looks great! Makes me think back on the Hornet Build on
Way nice job. I like the splotchyness (new word), of the deck. The stark white bulkheads on your "structure" are a stark contrast, but I think, with the weathering and once you "gloss up" the deck, they will go together very well. Once covered with the flight deck, I think you'll be happy you painted the bulkheads white.
I know that "ship smell", and you are right. It is everywhere in every ship I've ever been in. An interesting aroma. I think your internal weathering will simulate at least the color of that scent.
Been patiently waiting for this next release. I understand work getting in the way. Same thing is happening here. Press on.
The steel deck looks fantastic. Even if it looks a little dramatic, that’s OK. You will be seeing it through hangar bay doors. “Stage makeup”.
Press on!
Exactly!
I believe the "Sloped" portion of the piece you worked on in this video (the part with the 3 rectangle-shaped indentations) was part of the Uptake system of feeding the exhaust from the boiler rooms to the "Stacks" above them. It was commonly done to shape the uptakes to smoothly funnel the exhaust smoke in that way ensure minimal back-pressure. While those rectangles were most probably access ports, they were normally kept closed. Looking good so far.
Okay! So I should just leave them the way they are then? It sure is less work.
Great job as always, Ben! One suggestion I would offer for the deck... rather than coating it with semi-gloss paint, try buffing the flat with a soft cloth (perhaps a microfiber cloth). That always seems to work for me. Keep up the excellent work!
Glad to see you back. Life does get in the way of hobbies sometimes. Like your concept and the way it's coming together.
Hangerdeck looks awesome!
I did the steel color too and I kinda wish I used pigments and added oil stains to mine but I also didn't light my deck
I think it looks like a real steal deck! Very nice work sir and video!... pressing on.... 😂 love it. - Gary
Great vid 💞💪
Great video Ben like the way the deck looks. I have talked to some a couple of the sailors the were on the old Lex. They said some of the major fires, spread so fast was because of paint and debris. I think that cubby was a parking area for equipment.
Way to handle the masking snafu. Seen grown men brought to tears over stuff like that.
LOL yeah it can be rough on some folks.
Deck look great! Nice tonal variations!
Nice episode! I like the colors you chose so far...
This is BEAUTIFUL! One thing though, I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that the Enterprise (CV-6) had a wooden deck.
It did. That’s the hangar bay in the video. We are building “up” to the main flight deck.
@@TheMidwestModelShop So I watched that whole video thinking that I was looking at the flight deck! It shows the danger of not paying attention for a minute in the beginning!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh, the “walkways” are called “catwalks”.
I really enjoy your channel, man. You got me hooked with the Titanic build, and I'm really looking forward to this one.
You should see his Missouri! Absolutely beautiful.
@@Custerd1 Awesome! I'll check it out, and thanks.
Hey, Ben, fyi, that thing you were having trouble naming is referred to as a catwalk, iirc.
Great video as always Ben, really good work you put in there.
Regarding the deck, without any suggestions of knowing the exact color, or no color; for what you did I would have done reverse. Black basecoat followed by metal. That way you would have been able to leave the corners and such darker with less metal and the open/flat surfaces a tad more metal.
Keep it up (=
I actually thought about that… I was mostly concerned with it looking like “steel”… so next time I’ll give that a try!
Well, it can do that as well IF you do a good coat with the steel color. You must leave your perfectionism behind on this one a bit (=
However, it also gives you the possibility to build the variation in tone since it’s a mat black basecoat underneath. It will save you time and create a good “tear and wear” view depending on how thick your layer is.
Have not gotten the paints you use, but will real soon, with somethings from Model-Monkey, for my Revel Icebreaker.
Exvellent
I'm thinking lots of oil stains. The brown panel line accent color is great.
That floor looks like rubber tire driven on, oil spilled, dusty dirty floor, I think just I would look for,!!!!!
Excellent work mate - I have the USS Hornet in my stash with the MK-1 detail set was just looking in the manual and interestingly that manual provides a second walkway under the upper walkway don't know if that's unique to Hornet or if it's across the ship class can't find much info on it
I like too......
Hi Ben. I have the same issue as you with the camera image looking nothing like reality. Interesting point about the paint being removed.. never heard of that before. What page in the book did you find this explained? I wonder, if the floor was bare steel, surely it would have been quite rusty due to the salty air?
Hey Nigel! I found it online, several people referenced a different book that I don’t have. I would agree that the floor would be rusty on one hand. But on the other, it’s constantly walked on, rolled on, oil and greased spilled on and not to mention, the easiest place to look and say “hey it’s rusty right there, clean it up”. I’m not sold on the whole hanger bay being bare steel. But I’m willing to try something different with the floor.
I heard Trumpeter is going to release a 1/200 Fletcher Class destroyer(s) soon. Is that going to be a potential future project on the channel?
I will be all over that. About a year ago I reached out to them about the project and provided a bunch of documents and details. (Shipping things to China isn’t very easy, it turns out) I have a contact but, his English isn’t very good and he just says it’s coming along. So you’ll probably know about the release before me.
Hi, what is the wiring in the bow for? Thanks
Lights
have you ever did 1/700 pe?
Yes. The most recent was the Bismarck in a World of Warships scheme.
how did you feel about the difference beteewn 1/700 and1/200 ?
I don’t think there’s any difference. Yes the PE is “smaller” but there’s less of it and only for the larger items. Same assembly tricks apply. You just have to be patient and think through the process.
