No joke this happened to my Titanic model i had its prob because i forget about things i have and my mom mistakes a model of a ship for trash Probably beacuse i have a model on my table for 1 year half done ( not painted)
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Wednesday, 3 July, 2024) What a delight to see you create this dramatic forced perspective aerial diorama! Years past had I begun something similar, albeit with Hasegawa’s 1:500th-scale kit of the IJHMS Akagi Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier (in checking, some sources report that Hasegawa’s kit was in 1:450th-scale, and a Fugimi kit was in 1:500th-scale), the Accurate Miniatures 1:48th-scale kit of the Douglas SBD Dauntless USN Dive Bomber, and the Airfix 1:72nd-scale kit of the same aircraft. I even had found a photo-etched set of the perforated dive brakes for the smaller æroplane replica, resolving for me the deeply reluctant prospect of having to cut and re-position the kit parts to combat mode, then rework them to open the dozens of holes, and to give them scale-thin accuracy. Is the Academy 1:48th-scale kit of the Douglas SBD Dauntless USN Dive Bomber a re-boxing of the Accurate Miniatures model? I had read/heard reports to that effect; it gratifies me immensely to see that such elegantly detailed kits yet remain available to us. I at first could not grasp what you had meant with “USN sad-2”. I finally realised that it is a typographical error of “USN SBD-2”. I am an excellent speller, though a mediocre typist; my making such mistakes drives me to fulminating exasperation! If I now had the means to build this display, I would start with Hasegawa’s 1:350th-scale kit of the HIJMS Akagi IJN Aircraft Carrier (Z25, HE40025 $180), as well as the aftermarket sets I have found (see below); even if one could not afford such an ambitious venture, one still can have some fun, if just wistfully, pondering what such a project would offer! This one also would include 1) Trumpeter’s 1:32nd-scale Douglas SBD-1/2 Dauntless USN Dive Bomber kit (02241). 2) Academy’s (Accurate Miniatures) 1:48th-scale Dauntless kit. 3) Perhaps two of Airfix’s 1:72nd-scale kits of the dive bomber. 4) A few of Brengun’s 1:144th-scale Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless kits (which may require backdating to the earlier variant); Yao’s Studio also makes 1:144th-scale kits of the nimble attacker. 5) A few of Trumpeter’s 1:200nd-scale Dauntless miniatures; the manufacturer produces sets of these for their three Yorktown-class USN Aircraft Carrier kits; they also make 1:350th-scale sets of the bomber (though I do not know if they would look right in such a display as this). I would include in each model the aviator and the radioman-rear gunner. As each flyboy prepares to release his ordnance, the yoke on the ventral surface swings down, to place the bomb well clear of the propeller. I would position the biggest replica starting its dive, the medium-sized model taking careful aim, even as withering anti-aircraft artillery buffets them, the two Airfix kits about to release their bombs, and the smaller of them just starting their climb as a huge, combined explosion urges them on their way . . . ! The aftermarket sets I have found for the Hasegawa HIJMS Akagi 1:350th-scale kit are: ● Detail Up Parts (40071, $219.99). ● Wooden Deck Detail Kit ($93.09). ● BUNKER Bridge 3D Print Set (IJN35150, $91.64). ● Refit For Hasegawa 3D Printed & PE ($170.99). ● Rainbow PE Boats set (17 boats) (Rb3606, $53.94). I would super-detail the two largest Dauntless kits, as well. Since I cannot do this diorama, I must ask you to give it a go!
Impressive job, just 2 things that bother me: 1) The plane is flying without pilots :) 2) If the dauntless is dive bombing, the bomb rack should swing out so the bomb clears the propeller when it drops. (Maybe you mentioned this in your video, I had to watch it with sound off...)
I bought the 1/48 SBD-3 Dauntless from Academy and the boxart was of that scene with the Dauntless diving on the Akagi. Exact same position of the plane and ship.
Love seeing the creativity folks have with 3D printers and it inspires me to be creative myself. Very nice work on this model! I enjoyed watching the whole build.
Amazing creativity! Your weathering and detail work alone on the dive bomber and carrier models is impressive enough, but the ocean texturing and forced perspective photography to create the illusion of depth is commendable. Great job, keep it up! 👏🏽👏🏽
Incredible effort & results. The Dauntless, a fun build. But, the carrier is a might tedious. Spectacular though in look. I also amaze over the true facts of Japanese anti aircraft fire that was color dyed per ship so each knew their shots from the others. Creating a spectacle in itself. Fun fact.
F22 should do the trick but to be sure blow up the pic and look at the edges. I would go with an f28 if you have the ability increase your ISO a bit and if need be increase your light. Now for realistic, use natural lighting and use a gold reflector for warmth. That should really give you a realistic look
@@Sgt-lott10 obviously, you are the most objective person in the world)) Leave me alone, this is my subjective opinion, which is addressed to the author of the video.
@@MadLeo85 you still could’ve worded it more constructively, saying something looks bad when you’ve got little to no experience on the subject really makes you look stupid, and as someone on the East coast I can confirm that the ocean doesn’t look that different from the was it’s shown here, saying bad job does nobody any good
Excellent work. I had a model of the Akagi once, but I left it in the same room as a model of the Enterprise, and the next day it was gone.
@Luciana Rotty it made me giggle...
Akagi wanted to be alone.
Because Enterprise didn't want to be Akagi 's sweat heart.
Lol...THAT was well played!
@Aiden A bad one. Yes.

When I attempt such a project (see my comment herein), I need clarifications and corrections such as yours before I start!

Many thanks, I have enjoyed your video and build.

Very Very Good Hands and Picture Development....A+....🙂🤙

Very detailed scale kits, tremendous skill in building technique, museum quality results.
I love the coffee scene!
Most excellent, you even custom built a sanding block to hit the wing joints! That's going the extra mile.
Nice work! How many days did you spend on it?
Nice work...what did you use for the antenna wire?
Outstanding work. Does the kit come with the option for canopy open?

Bro cool stuff please post more
Pretty slick!
최고의 명장면
nice work.!
Can you tell where to buy this models as I wanted to make it
Very nice
i noticed there were no aircrew to go with the Dauntless . why is that.?
Hello! What is that small clear plastic thing called that is holding up the Japanese plane taking off?
How far away from the carrier is the aircraft positioned? Thanks
F22 should do the trick but to be sure blow up the pic and look at the edges. I would go with an f28 if you have the ability increase your ISO a bit and if need be increase your light. Now for realistic, use natural lighting and use a gold reflector for warmth.
That should really give you a realistic look
excellent result
That little sanding block is genius. Do you sell them? I don't have a 3D printer.
You can make one out of wood quite easily. Or buy one at most any craft or hobby shop, or home depot
Where did u buy that i really wanted to make an sbd dauntless dive bomber
That is meant to be scale not time in video
all great!......except the back ground music, I suggest to diversify it!
Show off😆
Water doesn't look real. Bad job.
Like you could do even half as good, the water is realistic
@@Sgt-lott10 nope. Water non realistic look.
