It's such a wonderful model! :)
I'm glad you like it :-)
What episode do you feature this model.
@@cixelsydtoome This one?
Nice work! greetings to your daughter for inspiring you to the airplane detail! (I did the same thing to a longboat on the Heller Victory 1/100 model). Thank you!
Thank you for showing the fiddly parts operation.
You're very welcome :-)
I just finish watching you build the diorama! Very interesting! About the Victory longboat: The Victory naval museum intendent was not very updated about the hoisting rigging details on the ship(!).
And breathe. I think I lived the construction marathon with you, I'm so glad it's finished. Great outcome, love the boa.. ship. The sea diorama at the end was great too. 30, no make that 40 years ago I built this kind of thing, Bismarck if memory serves, and I don't think I fully built it. Probably left off stuff that was too small. Mind you in those days glue was in a foil tube and went stringy, paint was all Humbrol enamels (and certainly no airbrushes or cans). Thinned with Dad's white spirit that he was keeping his 2" brushes covered in Dulux Gloss. Just a blunt x-acto and some coarse grit sandpaper. And in mean _sand_ paper! I feel nowadays with all the ability to get the right tools and materials online, plus excellent tutorial videos like yours... I'd still make a dog's dinner of it :-)
Glad you enjoyed it. I've spent the last week or so cleaning out the workshop and I came across some old figures I painted at about the same time, maybe 40 years ago, and I was in the same boat - all Humbrol tins (some of which I still have), dodgy glue, nasty brushes and so on.
Those were the days :-)
Looked great on Drachs video👍. Well done🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thanks 👍
My great grandad was on this ship in WWII. Great model. I’m going to give it a go 😊
Let us know how you get on with it 🙂
Anytime you get such positive feedback from the customer, it's a job well done. Congratulations.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm just glad he was pleased with it :-)
Great finish
Thanks :-)
love the model mate, great work, but you earned a sub from your massive interactions with your fan base, the time taken to read and reply too as many as you have shows a love for your hobby and channel and the fans that support you. massive respect mate!
Thanks, I appreciate it. I figure if people watch and then take the time to comment, the least I can do is acknowledge that. One of the annoyances of youtube is that, quite often, I get notifications of comments but then I can't reply to them, but I do try and read/reply to as many as possible :-)
@@SteamGeezerUK i look forward to many more amazing videos, good honest model making, not just glory shots, really helps us average blokes and bloketts to fight through the fiddly bits. I send some love in the comments too.
Brilliant piece of work… a master class and demonstration of temper control. Impressive on all counts!
I sat down to watch this final instalment with a mug of tea and some custard creams, was so engrossed my teas gone cold ! Really enjoyed following the build, fantastic result, love the diorama. Brilliant channel by the way, informative and funny, keep up the great work !
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Great looking build, a job well done. I use to use kitchen aluminum foil instead of metal for the flags. I just folded it a couple of time to thicken it up a wee bit. The rigging on the Walrus was a great touch . Again nicely done.
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Loved the video set on this build, very interesting watching the whole process. As a ship builder myself it was interesting watching a non-ship builder tackle a complex build like this. The model itself is spectacular. really well done, especially the camo paint scheme. Looking forward to more of your work.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)
Great job! I m not really fan of ships and boats but it's the first time I watch the whole videos of ship building ! Amazing!
Thanks. I'm not really a ship guy myself, but it was a nice change of pace :-)
What an excellent and satisfying build! Despite all the dodgy fit issues and fiddly bits, you persevered and the result is beautiful! The water diorama at the end looks excellent too! Can't wait to learn how you did that!
Also, I think it's great how your daughter takes an interest in what you're doing! Her idea of hanging one of the planes from the crane was brilliant!
Thanks. She quite often wanders in to see what I'm up to, and she's pretty good at keeping me on track, mainly because she wants me to make things for her so she's always keen to get things moving :-)
Love the work going in to this! I'm just getting into airbrushing rather than wet brush painting entire models, and I've been referring back to these videos of yours a lot, very helpful. Great tips and tricks on how to get the best results, and you do a great job. Also, your daughter seems like a sweet girl
Thanks, I'm glad it was useful to you. I also mentioned what you said to m'daughter and she scowled and made an angry cat noise :-)
Brilliant build. You should be very proud of yourself.
Thanks :-)
Nice ship, nice build, thank you for the videos. Nice greetings from Germany.
Thanks, and thanks for watching :-)
Have always loved your intro music. You do a great job with your builds !
Thanks. The intro music, the Steamgeezer Shuffle, was written for me by a pair of delightful ladies of my acquaintance :-)
Superb!
Also, I have never properly done weathering before, so your tips are great.
Thanks. I'm glad it's been useful for you :-)
Enjoyed the project. Great result. Loved your daughters cameo and the crane suggestion.
I lost count of the amount of times she wandered into the workshop and asked me if I'd put the cranes on yet :-)
Thanks again for your support, much appreciated :-)
Uhhhh. Sehr sehr geil. Sieht super aus👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Danke :-)
Beautiful job! Thank you I learned a great deal from this.
I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for watching :-)
I have thoroughly enjoyed this "boat" series. The interlude music sounds similar to a lift I was in recently. Overall a great build and great videos. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Cheers. The interlude music is actually called "Best Elevator Music" and I think it fits really well :-)
@@SteamGeezerUK Would that be volume I or II
It's been great and the diorama is genius.
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Thoroughly engrossing, well done sir
Glad you liked it!
Great build!! The ship looks fantastic but that diorama really sets it off. I've never seen anyone do a "water-based" display stand and it works perfectly. Having the ship removable is a bonus but, with the ship afloat, the only details you lose are the props. 👍👌😁
Good afternoon! Good to see it finished so expertly. Proper Museum workmanship there! ;o) Looking forward to more Builds from your workshop.
Thanks 👍
The absolute dogs! Last time I built a ship it was Airfix, with that tube of styrene cement that embedded your fingerprints on the model and UHU glue to make the rigging. Not made models for many years but love watching the builds and with my "Acid Fingers" amazed you never wear gloves when touching the paint. Great job and thanks for sharing the whole build.
Thanks. I do sometimes wear gloves when painting, but it really depends what kind of finish I'm putting on. For Tamiya stuff, it dries so fast there's often no need. Varnishes on the other hand... :-)
Epic! I'm building my first ship, the Missouri, in the same scale. By "building," I mean staring at the ****** thing wondering what the **** to do next.
I did a fair bit of that too ;-)
My first was an Airfix frigate from the Napoleonic era. I had to borrow some thread from my mum to do the rigging. Go for it, dude.
This is a great covid anti-anxiety series of videos. I might even watch them again.
I'm glad they've been useful for you, thanks for watching :-)
Lovely mode l- the weathering is just right
Thanks :-)
What a beaut👍 You must be chuffed with that😀 Thanks for the tips and the time to make these vids.
Cheers geezer🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Great work on the cradles. Looks like your nearly there now. Good luck with the rigging and boats
Cheers :-)
Crackin, love the base
😁👍
Thanks 👍
I'm going to keep this series in "my favorites" for future reference. I have been thinking about building a ship model, but did not want to find myself sitting in front of an open box with a blank look on my face for several days. This will help, thanks.
Thanks, I'm glad it's been useful for you :-)
Amazing work mate!... loved the part of that freaking ladder ...... that "Oh bugger!" LOL... cheers from Brisbane! :)
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Stunning end result. Again, learned a lot from this series. I added railings to my Hobby Boss Pola (£12) ship and for the amount of effort and frustration it isn't worth it as you can hardly see them. Some features like ladders, PE can make a lot of difference especially if in a prominent area. Basic rigging does make a bigger difference to appearance. My father-in-law was on Warspite for a short time so after seeing this build that will be on my shopping list.
Thank you again for hours of entertainment and including the bits that don't go to plan as it shows that the instructions can be wrong and that it isn't us reading them wrong.
Thanks, I'm glad it was useful for you. We decided to go for an out of the box build with no aftermarket parts but, yes, you can get PE sets for these that add all kinds of details if you want to go that route.
How long did it take to build? The two ships I have done (Pola and Bounty) took about 40ish hours over six weeks each and they had a lot less parts.
I've loved this series of videos. I had a friend in the 1980's, who liked what kits became, but hated the construction; so he paid me to build them for him. Watching you painting in the portholes, brought back not so happy memories of painting the hundreds of viewports on a Star Trek: The Next Generation NCC 1701-D Enterprise. To make it look right, some had to be dark, and others light, and randomly, too. Never again. I was worried by the appearance of a housebrick on your workbench, and wondered if it was your 'I've had enough of these ba****d parts not fitting' brick. I used to have a toffee hammer for 1/76 scale AFV kits that wouldn't go together properly.
I love that you rigged the 'Shagbat'. My eyesight is nowhere near good enough to even think about trying. And finally? What a magnificent beast. Nice one.
Thanks. I added the rigging to the aircraft as I think they look odd without it, especially in this context. I find myself using a pair of +3.5 reading glasses from the Pound Shop quite a bit these days - they make great magnifiers :-)
@@SteamGeezerUK - That's a great tip! I'll give that a go. Cheers.
Not sure if you read this but, first of all many thanks for creating all these hours of relaxing content. Your vids have the perfect mix of ingredients to keep me entertained. Furthermore I really like the way you are talking us though your struggles with certain parts. I think all of us modelers have the same issues and sometimes wonder why on earth we keep chastising ourselves with this hobby.. 😂. Well done, please keep up the good work!!!
I try to read all the comments, trust me, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I try to include mistakes and issues as well, because it shows that we all make mistakes and not to be disheartened by them. There are so many channels (not just modelling but all kinds of subjects) that make things look so easy when that's not always the case, which can lead to folks thinking they're doing something wrong when they aren't :-)
Fantastic work. I think I'd of thrown myself out of a porthole trying to put this together!
I don't they make a porthole big enough for me to fit through, so I had no choice :-)
You did a fine job building and painting this model! I also like your friend's video channel :)
Thanks, I appreciate it 🙂
Wonderful, thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely not be building it lol. I decided a while ago ships would push my patience to the edge
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Love it.
Thanks :-)
Bravo
Well done sir
Thanks :-)
Build it from scratch and i will like it!
Anchor chain holes are called "Hawse Pipes",Your doing are great Job👍
Thanks for that. As I've mentioned elsewhere, ships really aren't my thing, so it's good to learn the proper terms for things :-)
good job!
Thanks!
Superb work as usual. I like your long vids...you can really get stuck into them. They must take a hell of a long time to upload though!
Thanks. It's not that bad actually, usually about an hour or so.
I was actually hoping you'd show the rigging process xD. I really need to practice a bit more with it. I'd assume you held it in place until it dried or something similar. Stellar piece of work you've done. Kudos to you.
I'm actually planning on doing a rigging video at some point, for aircraft, ships etc.
Groovy.
Thanks :-)
Well done. Somewhere in one of Mum's photo albums is a photo of the sister ship of this ship the 'Vanguard'
Nice. It'd be interesting to see that, if you can find it. A couple of years ago I got all our old photo albums and had them digitised. It's a great way to have copies in case anything happens to the originals, and also you can send them to friends and relatives if they want them.
HMS VALIANT
Thank you a really great set of videos . You have convinced me not to attempt a ship, p.s us modellers tend to be solitary so we cannot talk amongst ourselves.
Thanks. It's worth having a go. Maybe something smaller scale might be an idea...?
That's part of the challenge when you have big hands is not to rake and break off small parts as you build it.
I do that all the time... :-)
Looks amazing, great work.
I thought the catapult was gone after the 43 re fit but I'm not sure.
Thanks. No idea about the catapult - you'll have to wait for Drachinifel's video for that kind of detail :-)
Very beautiful ship model! Although I think it could have done with a white ensign or two and maybe some signal flags to add a bit of colour :)
Thanks. One could certainly add signal flags if desired. We actually added the Union Jack after the model was delivered :-)
Rumors say Bismarck is next :)
I wouldn't advise listening to rumours :-)
=(
The black line is called the boot strip. AKA water line.
Try Hershey Kiss wrappers for your flags, Can be shaped any way you want. Crack On Mate !!!
Good idea. I've also seen people use the foil from Lindor chocolates to mask canopies. I'm going to give it a go one day :-)
I wonder if my memory fails me or those kits made really amazing improvements since i was building plastic models about 20 years ago? I remember that nothing ever fit strait out of the box so painting anything without dry-fitting it first was not even an option.
Btw cameras are very unforgiving when shooting the models. They show even smallest mistakes not visible for naked eye but your build looks good even on camera.
A lot of these models are still made with very old moulds, so those same issues still exist. You're very right about the camera too - there have been many times when I've made something, then taken a picture of it and seen something I missed. I actually use that to my advantage now - for example if I have to read tiny print, I take a photo of it with my phone :-)
Loved that vlog from start to finish, just wondering if you know how many hours it’s taken you overall
Thanks. It was about two weeks start to finish of actual building/paint etc.
What an epic build! The result is superb 👌🏻😊 I have an equally monster build, 1/350 scale USS Missouri! Any tips for this massive project?
Plenty of tea and biscuits... Seriously though, just take your time. Read the plans first and work out what order to assemble the major sub-components like superstructure, turrets etc. It's easier to paint in large sections rather than all at once, and take note of things like boats and such that can be painted separately and added at the end.
And have fun, obviously :-)
SteamGeezer and Son Independent Traders very helpful thank you 😊 I’m vearing towards your approach to the Queen Elizabeth, main superstructure first
Wow you display patience of a saint (on camera at least lol). Well done! Which flag did he choose?
Thanks. You'll have to wait for Drachinifel's video to find out... ;-)
Very good build, when will you build the Revell 1/350 Tirpitz Platinum edition like the one I've got, (that's a BIG build).
I'm not planning on building any more of these big ships, at least not for a while. I do have some ideas for other nautical builds at some point in the future though ;-)
Absolutely marvellous stuff.
One couldn't enquire the best way to contact you about a matching commission sir?
Fantastic job! Any idea of how many hours are in it?
It's about two weeks of actual build time, more or less.
Lovely jubbly, so what's the next ship? HMS Rodney in 1/200th Scale perhaps ;)
Not sure as far as ships go. I might do some more in future, but I need to recover from this one first :-)
@@SteamGeezerUK I'm surprised Drachnifel has put in another request yet ;) Tamiya's 1/350th DD-445 Fletcher is very nice small ship kit to consider with a funky camo scheme (and Eduard do a very nice photo-etch set as well).
my man needs to invest in a Lazy Susan so he can spin it around as needed for the fiddly bits.
Never knew the QE had green camo. Seems great if it were a tank or if it made a quick trip to Eastern France but its strange.
4:50 Huey flies over...distinctive sound
Tamiya xf-9 dries redder than you would expect. A touch of red is usually what I do too. Sometimes I do more red with a touch of xf9. Thats why the pink came out. I started spraying a test card for colors I wasn't certain of. There's tons of colors that look different dry than wet.
If you can get it, revell contacta will change the way you think of revell, its awesome on decks, wings and other heavy pieces.
Tamiya thin is bad on big parts. It dries too quickly. If you need fast and strong, cement S is good, not SP, ...S. S is strong, SP is fast.
As I typed, you used contacta on the anchor. Should use it on the deck.
Looks great. Thank you for the video.
It's actually not Tamiya Extra Thin, despite the bottle. I generally use MEK most of the time, but the Tamiya bottle/brush is very handy to apply it. I use several different types of adhesive depending on what I'm doing - it just doesn't always look that way in the videos :-)
@@SteamGeezerUK gotcha, Contacta for everyone else is what should be used for heavy objects.... i am glad they are starting to import it. I was given a bottle when I was medevacd to Germany from Afghanistan. The chaplain who got me started on building Models again gave it to me along with a few kits when I was going through surgeries. I ran out a long time ago and had to pay crazy prices to get it. Im a huge supporter of buying the right stuff for the right parts. Just like using ca on photoetch and white glue on glass, I use contacta on heavy stuff or if its bigger I use epoxy.
Thanks for the videos, I enjoy them more every time you release one.
What paints did you use for the hull camouflage?
Great build as to be expected. What was the noise in the background sounds like your printing off a classic novel LOL.
Thanks. The printers all run pretty much 24/7... :-)
Drach sent me......great stuff! I enjoyed it very much.
The mic picks up the focus of the camera. just an observation not a complaint.
Glad to have you, thanks for watching. I actually add the camera moves in the edit, so I'm not sure if it's that you're hearing, but I'll look into it - thanks for the feedback :-)
Yep,
ever make any Star Wars models?
The star destroyer is really easy to panit!. haha.
@@camrsr5463 I've made a few Star Wars themed projects - there's a playlist here if you're interested - ruclips.net/p/PL6Tibx9kQcv7fnQyYINBaeEo7l54pD2nP
Looks great,i what to build this ,but i don't have all the stuff you have used,is it possible.
Absolutely. Having lots of tools etc makes life a bit easier, but you could build this with nothing more than glue, a paintbrush, paint and a knife.
There was a chap I knew years ago who used to build award winning models on a tray on his knee while watching TV... 😳
What color did you paint the end of the gun barrels?
Great job ! What is that huffling -wuffling noise in the background- sounds like an electric drill or something ???
Could you tell me what varnish you used thanks
The final matt coat is Hycote Matt Lacquer. Comes in 400ml rattle cans and is great for things like this :-)
amzn.to/2Gj90PH
That sounds like a very angry dog in the background 😂
That's the neighbour's dog. Annoying, yappy little thing. I like dogs but this one hardly qualifies. What's worse is that it barks so much, my parrot has actually started copying it...
Is it called Oddball?
I thought it was a 3D printer for a while. My dog will go nuts for a couple of her most hated passing dogs, but give up after 8-10 barks. This one is an end-level boss dog.
Actually its not just ships that big that have a stern anchor...pretty much every ship does otherwise it would swing around in the harbor if the current or wind shifted
As I said, I'm not really a boat guy, but it makes sense when you think about it :-)
WildDaughter: "Are you winning dad?"
You do know that the captain had the crew scrub the wooden deck with abrasive stones almost every day, right?
Okay, joking, but only slightly. British and American captains did keep the deck pretty. And they did use abrasive stones.
Things like the step ladder orientation and missing propeller shaft mating guide are the reason why I hate Trumpeter kits. I don't know if they've gotten better over the years but I've found similar problems in every kit I've built from that company. Great molding but their engineering is a bit shaky
Nice job
Thanks. This is the first Trumpeter kit I've ever built, so I couldn't speak to their overall quality, but I guess all manufacturers have their little faults and foibles :-)
Nice build, not done a boat in a long time. Has you daughter got into making models?
Who makes this kit?
Shame they didn't keep one of the QE class ships as a museum.
True, but there's always the HMS Belfast in London. I guess at the time they needed the steel more than they needed the reminder.
When did Phil Tufnell become a model maker ? :-)
Shush :-)
SteamGeezer and Son Independent Traders Only joking mate, but your right of all the other model makers your informative and show the little things others don’t show. Looking forward to more vids.. 👍
Nice build, but no railings?
No, not on this. I discussed it with the person it was built for, and he didn't want them as they weren't included in the kit. I could have used aftermarket ones or scratchbuilt them, but the client wasn't bothered about it so I didn't. Kind of surprised they weren't included, to be honest.
@@SteamGeezerUK Sir: your reply received and understood. Still, it seems incomplete. But the client always wins! I have the WARSPITE on my shelf and it’s a little intimidating as I’ve never dealt with PE and the instructions aren’t clear. Fingers crossed.
@@eugenebotkins2469 Good luck with it 🙂
how many models do you have
Built or unbuilt? Built maybe a couple of dozen. I have maybe 40 or 50 unbuilt models in my stash, but I tend to buy them when they're heavily discounted. I rarely buy models for the sake of it - nearly everything I buy is with a specific project in mind.
@@SteamGeezerUK I usually buy a model once ive saved up enough money from my saturday job in a bike shop ( i'm 13 in case you we wondering why a fully grown man has to save up just for a model).
Gee, at @ 27:00 you say, 'you're putting a round peg in a square hole'. It a shame your not in the navy, they would make you an Admiral.
Funnily enough, I was asked to re-enlist a little while ago - apparently my skills are still in demand. Nice to hear, but I think I'm a bit too old for that kind of thing now :-)
this is as LEGO.
Please buy yourself a laser printer. The sound of a slow (and expensive) spit jet trundling in the background took me back many years to my time before discovering colour lasers. Well done on the model build. Lots of effort but well worth while.
I have a laser printer. That sound is a 3D printer...
Ok, this has been driving me crazy. It looks to me that you are using Tamiya extra thin glue to stick painted plastic parts to painted plastic parts. When I do that, any paint that the glue comes into contact with dissolves into an unholy mess. What obvious thing am I missing?
I actually use MEK, methyl ethyl ketone - I just keep it in a Tamiya bottle for convenience. Having said that, it should still work. The trick (for me, anyway) is to apply the glue sparingly and try not to move the parts around, which includes not pressing them together. Because this is a weld bond, ie the glue actually melts the plastic, if you move the parts or press them too hard together, you'll end up with liquid plastic going all over. Might be worth throwing a coat of paint on some old parts and practice gluing them together.
@@SteamGeezerUK Thanks for your reply, it does make sense. As they say, practice makes perfect so I'll do exactly what you suggest and have a play with some old parts. Cheers.
Just put it in the bath already 😂
I would, but it's not mine 😂
You really need to trim the plastic better, it looks terrible, otherwise a great build.
The heck do u live that has ww2 warplanes flying constantly obviously near an airfield cause i would love to live near a airfield that launches thpose constantly
