I have built one 700 scale battleship. The Schanhorst. NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN. It was the most difficult time consuming horrible experience I have ever had in model building lol. You have the patients of a Saint my friend and its a lovely build. I will stick to 1/200 scale warships , my old eyes and fat fingers and shakes are far more suited to that scale. :-)
Master Of Dizaster it's because of the size. There is a lot more detail in 1/350 or 1/200 scale ships compared to 1/700 and smaller. But because of the scale difference the pieces tend to be bigger. There will still be some small and mind numbingly frustrating bits on the bigger scale ships but no where near the same amount as a 1/700 where almost every part is tiny. If you're ever going to build a battleship I would recommend 1/350 scale. It's the perfect mix in that it's still very large and would impress anyone who looks at it and it has almost all the detail of a 1/200 scale but it's not quite as enormous spacewise. 1/350 is the perfect size to make a display piece. Plus the most array of the aftermarket upgrade parts are for 1/350.
Easy when you start young. And advance from easier to intermediate. (Little difficult). Which this is . Guess you don't have the skill or are to impatient
Hi, I'm Italian, and I'm honored to see the show of your creation, I'm a little bit following you, but you're a true artist. Thanks to the wonderful creations you always provide on your channel, thank you very much
I used to do small and cheap warship models (scales of 1:1500 or so) in a span of a few hours and in few days leave them in post office or museum, counting on someone taking them. Turns out - these tiny pieces of art were enjoyed by people working at the places and often placed on the reception desks or somewhere around the reception. It was great because I didn't care much about the models but people seemed to enjoy looking at them - it's much better than them wasting away in my desk drawer.
A wonderful Battleship with a very sad History. The Roma was One of the Best Battleships ever built. I build her in 1/350 Scale from Trumpeter. In 1/350 is this Battleship Amazing.
This is absolutely phenomenal! The level of detail... Wow! I am amazed everytime how much the wash can influence the look of the model. It looks flat and brand new before it, but after it is applied every little detail starts to pop and add depth... Once again, phenomenal work! I am in awe!
Thanks, a lot. My family has fond memories of that ship, for some of us go down with her in the last voyage. I find that your passion honours their service and sacrifice
I don't comment much if ever, but dude your stuff rocks. I have been following you for a year, if not a bit longer, but every time I see your stuff I get all excited. Keep going.
Trumpeter do good models. I did a North Carolina as I have actual been on her and am very pleased with the result. Painting the detail is what makes the models and I can see you are much more of a pro than I.
I hope you hear this often. This is simply astounding. I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing your artwork. This might be hands down my favorite model of yours. Thank you for allowing us to see your skill.
Ich weiß nicht ob mich hier jemand versteht,aber ich versuche es mal. Die Roma zählte mit zu den schönsten Schiffen ihrer Zeit.Das Wrack der Roma wurde vor nicht allzu langer Zeit entdeckt. Und nun zu dem Modell.Das ist ganz großes Kino und mit der Musik im Hintergrund ist die Dramaturgie und das traurige Schicksal dieses stolzen Schiffes noch präsenter.Ein tolles Modell das wirklich seinesgleichen sucht
Wow, wow and wow! Thank you, because I am Italian and I love this ship! It is my favourite one! Thank you, because you are my favourite youtuber that makes video of modeling... and seeing my favourite ship on your channel is fantastic!
What a great video: Great subject matter, Great treatment, Great detail, Good soundtrack, Good naration ( not too heavy, not too light ) . 2 thumbs up.
I love that you add the kind of flair that the ship looks used but the bottom part (the part that is in the water) Should look a bit scratched or something like that
Lack of funds for enough ships, too. But honestly, that describes the entire Italian military in WW2: good troops, not enough equipment, highly variable officers, and atrocious national-level leadership.
your work is truly out of this world,a totally higher level,but what truly is also amazeing is the music wich you choose in your videos.Its so relaxing just to sit and watch you do your art and listen to perfectly chosen music that fits to the project.well well done.A true master.
Superb work as always. A useful tip for the photo-etch railings is to draw around the relevant deck plates before assembly & then use these as a guide to forming the correct shape... much easier.
I had planned to spend my retirement building models. So I bought a 1/350 Titanic the day I retired, that was ten years ago and I still haven't finished it.
Someone's RUclips Username The Italian Navy was one of the absolute best, their Torpedoes were just as good as the Japanese ones which completely outclassed the american ones, their three battleships were the most powerful warships ever seen until the Japanese brought the Yamato and Musashi to the fight,of course we'll see the Regia Marina
I just don't have the words... "genius"? Even the music reflects the thought and sensitivity that you put into these builds. Just spectacular! If these videos reflect your approach to life, you're in for a beautiful journey, my friend. (okay, I guess I had a few words after all)
Nice looking ship, pity it never achieved even one combat mission! And was sunk by two German radio controlled bombs, one piercing right through the ship and exploding underneath her hull and the second piercing the deck by one of the main turrets and exploding in the powder room causing the ship to capsize and break in two!! Nice looking but completely inefectual! Hey but that's the Italians for you! As we say in the UK "All fur coat and no knickers"😀
I bought that 1/700 kit some time ago because I thought it would be easier than the larger scale model. Now I am getting some doubts about my stupid assumptions =) What a brilliant model You made!
Thanks for uploading this video you do not know how long I have been looking for a video that instructs me well how to paint and do weathering on a battleship! You solved my life Thanks plasmo!
Hell of a way to start the morning, watching you work David....sets me up for the rest of the day! Absolutely outstanding work as usual....not a ship modeller myself but would love to see a carrier one day......
Very nice build i can't imagine working on 1/700 scale i struggle with 1/48 scale, I love your craftsmanship an attention to detail, keep the builds coming i have almost watched all your videos now. looking forward to the next one.
Ha! Thanks for including my comment :) This is truly stunning work, and for your first ship - you've done an outstanding job! Great subject, great scheme! I'm taking a lot of inspiration from your work - your techniques are also helping me improve!
the scenes with the fiddling about with 1/350 railings almost had me lobbing my laptop out of the window in sympathy. I wish I had the patience... but I am in awe, that is amazing work

ABWM2 is it easier because its bigger or is there more detail on a 1 200

totaly agree - 1/350 scale is the best and easier to work on , with more after market parts available
I stared building planes when I was ten and now that I’m 15 I build 1/350 ships.

Yeah same lol 2 great RUclipsrs :)

Drowning in a sinking ship is a fond memory to you???
Its_Me_Romano _ I don't know if this is satire but that is not what they are saying at all
This is amazing! As an Italian, thanks for picking up this particular ship. Her story is so sad :(
My 1:350 Trumpeter Pola heavy cruiser buy brought me here once again a amazing display of skill and a fantastic build.
I don't comment much if ever, but dude your stuff rocks. I have been following you for a year, if not a bit longer, but every time I see your stuff I get all excited. Keep going.
Ferdinand Venter Same here
Hear Hear!!
He has got me back into the world of model making after a 30 year gap. Inspired by his ability.
That is a fine tribute to a beautiful ship and the 1,393 men that went down with her.
I’m currently building this kit and there’s no way I can make mine look like yours you are amazing at what your doing
Excellent !!!! I'm building a 1/700 now. How nice to stop ,relax ,and watch an expert at work!!
well, my friend... I'm italian and i ve R.N.ROMA.
Thank you and congratulations, for your wonderfull model.
BYE!
Trumpeter do good models. I did a North Carolina as I have actual been on her and am very pleased with the result. Painting the detail is what makes the models and I can see you are much more of a pro than I.
Awesome job! It is nice to see an Italian subject sometimes. You rendered it justice at all. Great ship!
I hope you hear this often. This is simply astounding. I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing your artwork. This might be hands down my favorite model of yours. Thank you for allowing us to see your skill.
PLEASE more ships!
what about a submarine?
YES! Please build a submarine.
PLASMO - plastic models - subs are boring, it would seem like a complete waste of your time. Where's this Mig-29 you promised! :-)
PLASMO - plastic models could you do a U boat?
revell has made a 1/72 U Boot type 21 recently !
Pure unadulterated artistry. David is definitely the high water mark in modeling. Just gorgeous.
Never thought I'd see the day when PLASMO would make a ship, a very good ship! WE NEED MORE LIKE THESE PLEASE!

Nearly passed out, holding my breath when you were doing the small parts....just unreal.
The tiny ladders /Rails at 15:10 made it. What amazing detail work!
Wow! this battleship is the most beautiful I've ever seen, I understand your choice and all the visualizations it has
Thanks for taking the extra time to document this nice build. 11,000+ people obviously appreciate your effort!
For me you are one of the best modelers
I could probably build it until you came to those railings and stairs. That looks like pure madness. Hats down to you for building a beautiful ship.
Plasmo in four words:
"I need more details"
marvels of technology. And representing thousands of years tradition. You nail this Plasmo.
Thank you David, you made my day. Cheers from Italy
I'm just amazed at this build of the Roma. Great paint job. Plus the research that went into build,the hull colour for instance. Thanks David.
Been looking forward to seeing how you tackle a ship kit. Awesome.
I dont know why but your accent is enjoyable to listen to
Very very well, it is the same of the original RN ROMA. It is very beautiful.👍👍
Very timely! I just bought a 1/700 boat (Fujimi Akagi) and its daunting to think about starting. Will be studying this closely.
Brilliant video. The accompanying music is fantastic
Simply outstanding. The attention to detail is fantastic.
Wow, wow and wow! Thank you, because I am Italian and I love this ship! It is my favourite one! Thank you, because you are my favourite youtuber that makes video of modeling... and seeing my favourite ship on your channel is fantastic!
The way you complete these models is a work of art!
Everything that you make, come's out beautifull... even if it's a ship and your first time! Well done keep up the good work!
You have cars, planes and tanks, but this only ship is the biggest and best project you have ever done! Sehr gut gemacht!
Ahh... The benefits of being young... Great job.
The last time I built a ship this small was 65 years ago...
You are lucky to be older. A lot passed on the way younger than u...
Build whatever you like. I only build aircraft but I'll watch any video you put out....and nearly all of them end up on my favorites list.
What a great video: Great subject matter, Great treatment, Great detail, Good soundtrack, Good naration ( not too heavy, not too light ) . 2 thumbs up.
Thanks. You made my day.
WOW !! Just superb. With the pattern on the deck and the flag, the ship actually looks quite colourful, a change from all the shades of grey.
My favorite battleship of all time
I bet on next gamescon,they always reveal new BBs tech tree on gamescom every year.
Yap, let's hope for that :)
Same, Vittorio Veneto class is my favorite class of battleships if not warships of all time
Sinmai Doungchana i like more Bismarck class than Vittorio Veneto class but i thin realy soon you see this ship in wows
Trivia: The Roma was the first naval vessel in history, that was sunk by a guided Air-to-Surface weapon system, the german Fritz X glide bomb.
Every time I come to your channel I am blown away by your amazing work....just when you think you cant do better..you do!!
👏👏👏👏👏
Hails from Italy
The biggest little nation in the World🌎
the editing and the background music are the icing on the cake ... brilliant ...
Bellissima la nostra Roma!!!Great job!!
I love that you add the kind of flair that the ship looks used but the bottom part (the part that is in the water)
Should look a bit scratched or something like that
I had to watch this with my reading glasses so I can see what happening 😂
Each video I think might be your best one yet, but I love the details on these battleships, so this takes the cake for me!
Holy shit... All those photo etched railings... It makes you want to jump overboard...
Don't do it, you can be the king of the world.
Oscar Kerkenaar you can’t, cause there are photo etched railings
David has reignited a love of scale modelling for me. I just love these vids.
The World War Two Italian navy is underrated in my opinion held back a lack of oil.
Lack of funds for enough ships, too.
But honestly, that describes the entire Italian military in WW2: good troops, not enough equipment, highly variable officers, and atrocious national-level leadership.
Three words - English Mediterranean fleet.
your work is truly out of this world,a totally higher level,but what truly is also amazeing is the music wich you choose in your videos.Its so relaxing just to sit and watch you do your art and listen to perfectly chosen music that fits to the project.well well done.A true master.
Amazing! You should built an aircraft carrier sometime
Superb work as always.
A useful tip for the photo-etch railings is to draw around the relevant deck plates before assembly & then use these as a guide to forming the correct shape... much easier.
You could try 1/350 ships If these are too small
Possibly the very best in model building I have every witnessed. Thank you so very much for this!
Splendido lavoro, bravissimo
Gianni
You are not a model maker, you are an artist! Beautiful.👍
I had planned to spend my retirement building models. So I bought a 1/350 Titanic the day I retired, that was ten years ago and I still haven't finished it.
How ?
Woah......
Good sir, your skill at assembly, painting and detailing is simply astounding. I'm truly impressed.
Bravissimo :D
This...
This is probably one of your best model on this channel, maybe even THE best
Outstanding work as always!
One day we'll see this in WoWS...

What a beautiful model, and a what a wonderful work! How much time took it to you?
It took four months. It was another long-term project.
PLASMO - plastic models 4 months holy hell you must have the patience of a god
The rigging and the photo-etched rails are so delicate and amazing. I was nervous just watching them being applied! Wonderful results.
who agrees he should make model plane of b-2 bomber
Eugene No
Hell yeah
i agree
David please do it, it will look AWESOME if you do it.
If he was to ever do a flying wing type aircraft it should be a Horten Ho 229. The B2 would be boring and present absolutely no challenge to build.
Yeah, that would be pretty cool.
great job for one of the most beautiful battleship of WWII
We're waiting for U-Boot with interior details.
Is that anything like a U-bend?
