Thanks for posting. There are still similar river "steamers" built further up river and still plying a trade on the Thames, They as you pointed out in the last video very shallow draft, and again the tunnels like this ship had trap doors above the waterline which allowed access for removing fouled props, ropes and the like. The two screws look about right but may have been 'a handed pair' being left and right hand turning. This it really a great build vlog and Mr Kenny is so good at describing his work and never afraid of pointing his mistakes out and how he solved them.

Thanks and good luck 👍

Fascinating presentation. Thank you very much

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

Good video. That's my model of HMS Walker. I got the ship plans of HMS Westcott from National maritime museum. And stern details for minelaying from hms Vanquisher .

Very well told about both the vessel and the research itself. That was some amazing detail you uncovered. 👍 Thank you for making and sharing!

Really good presentation. As I live in London I am a regular at the national maritime museum. I look at drawings of boats that I have worked on and it's like seeing old friends. The tunnel stern was in great favour on pleasure steamers on the upper Thames. Thornycroft were more remembered from the work they did at woolston but there were some family large ships launched at Chiswick considering the first bird they would need to pass under is the lowest on the tidal Thames. lots of these ships where built tested and knocked down and turned into kits and shipped in bigger ocean going ships and put together like a meccano kit.

I have made a start on my miniature madel and then found this video. Thank you. Is there going to be other parts to this presentation?

my problem with paper models is their garbage instructions. They have the worst instructions in any type of model building kit.

Beautiful WORK@@@ Way above my level!!!! I have made a number of ship and aircraft original replicas that are cast miniatures gaming pieces. In my shelf of AoS reference books, this is the common thoughts: The French Obusier de Vaisseau (OdV) was used like a Carronade. Yes, some trouble with the Shells (the Nile I recall a French ship's ammo for these caught fire. It was more common to shoot shot from them. I'm not aware of French thoughts on the OdV. I believe that they made a more Carronade-like cannon that later superseded the OdV late during the AoS wars

What an absolutely fascinating project. My father was a stoker onboard HMS Dorsetshire at the time of Bismarck's sinking, and took part in the rescues of the 86 survivors that she picked up before a periscope report forced the ship to leave the scene. During the rescues, one of the men that dad hauled onboard Dorsetshire (a member of turret "Dora's" crew named Friedrich Junghans) was so grateful that he gave dad the only thing he then possessed, that being his dogtag. After the 85 men were offloaded in Newcastle upon tyne in the UK (1 poor soul died of his wounds the day following the rescues and was buried at sea with full military honours) the non commisioned ratings were originally held in camps in the UK, while the officers were sent to Trent Park house in London to be interrogated. Many of the men were later shipped to Canada and amongst the camps where they were kept was "Camp 23" at Montieth, Ontario. Friedrich (of whom I have a group photo of taken at camp 23 during WW2) elected to stay in Canada after the war as the part of Germany where he came from was in the soviet occupied east. Dad survived HMS Dorsetshire's own sinking in Apr 1942, and after the war in the 1960s & 70s both the Bismarck assosciation and the HMS Dorsetshire association had a number of joint reunions. The first joint reunion that dad attended was held in Hamburg in 1973, and he hoped to reunite Friedrich with his dogtag, but tragically Friedrich died 2 months before the reunion took place. So Dad attempted to trace his family to send the tag to them, but after 2 decades of intermittent fruitless searching he gave up and donated the tag to the Merseyside maritime museum where it is still on display today. So to see these prisoner's beautiful craftworks is very much keeping alive the memories of the ship and its tragic crew. It's fantastic that you have restored them to such beautiful condition. Well done.

Great job im a boat builder on the outer banks of north carolina my grandfather was a boat builder and his grandfather was also our family records show 4gen grandfather built ships on the point of cape lockout north carolina i have his deed of purchase he paid $75 for 100 Hector's of land on the banks it was full of timber i build model boats with 1500 to 2000 hrs of shrimp trawlers and sport fishing boats and just give them away ppl call me crazy im scared if i turn it into a business i will lose the love of building them so i give them away thanks for your video

Nicely done,,thanks for sharing,,😊

I had no idea this model existed. My great grandfather was a 16 year old boy signaller aboard Canada at the Battle of Jutland...

WOW, Saludos desde Chile

Great to find your history of the Thornycroft ship building, I think Liet. Tindall might be from the Tindalls of Scarborough Ship building family.

G'day to you, I take my hat off to the Bloke who did the Restoration, I have enough trouble with an Airfix Kit, once again well done to you Sir! Perth West Aust.

great job but why make it so un realistic with brass and polished silver gun barrels ect?

How many of these models being referred to as crated following the bombing exist?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥃🇿🇦

Incredibly valuable video, thank you. Any word on vol.2?

😛 👀 🍓

Your channel is simply amazing. Thank you!

This ship later was returned to Chile and there is a 1/20 scale model of it on our Navy's Museum ... let's see if I can link its video, if not search YT for "acorazado almirante latorre": ua-cam.com/video/8ZXkJFnyd3U/v-deo.html

A beautiful restoration, accomplished in a surprisingly short timescale. I remember going to the Jutland exhibition in 2016, and my wife and I lingering over this model for some time- we were blown away by it's sheer presence. Can you tell me, how many bomb damaged and unrestored models like this still reside in storage at the IWM?

A real example of the 'Ship of Theseus'. Great stuff, a beautiful model and wonderful restoration. Just out of interest, how much of this model was made of wood and how much was metal?

Superb. I remember Oscar’s photo which I bought in Falmouth as a boy in 1952. My father served in the R.N. aboard Q.E. participants of Jutland in WW2 and his father worked in their design department.

Great video!!

Wonder have they sold it …..

Fantastic work!

Hay nice so far! Yes nice. I understand what your doing, having Scratch built the SMS Seydlitz in 1/336 scale. I also drew my own plans. But I vac u formed the hall in plastic from a four piece model I made. I subscribing too.

Excellent work, a most interesting lecture, particularly the information on Thorneycroft, thank you.

Where was this boat built? Thanks

Peter in Sweden here again. Sorry for my bad english. In my first comment I wrote, a well to yo swede. What I meant was; well to do swede. He had this big civilian Thornycroft CMB as a comuter in Stockholm arcipelago. It was capable for over 40 knots. It was later used by swedish customs to chase bootleggers. Bootlegging then, was big in the Baltic. Her name was Hunter 3. Suitably for the work. Would love to see the CMB replika and ofcourse the Sereia in action. Regards Peter Lindmark, Sweden.

Brilliant and thank you 🙏🏾👏🏿.

What a great achivement to build this replica of a CMB. Honors to you all. Later on Thornycroft built civilian versions inspired by the CMB's like Sereia as you have mentioned. A large version of these with a 12cylinder Thornycroft engine came to Sweden in the mid 1920's. Ordered by a well yo do swede. I realy have to get that book coming soon about Thornycroft. Great job everyone. Regards Peter Lindmark, Sweden.

Will there be any 'good modern' footage of the replica in action anytime soon? I'm afraid the slo-mo while good was quite limited on the excitement front. I think you need a chase boat and possible a couple of drones.

Intriguing analysis and a great summary of many sources of information. I live in Kingston and have sailed (and paddled) these waters for over half a century and have been caught in many a storm or squall out on that big lake.. I often think of all those who have gone down over all the history of the shipping and the navies that plied these waters. I really appreciated all your work to bring it together.

Absolutely first class BZ. PS: Good decision on inserting a modern engine. Any decision on the prop?

Im interested in why you added the weight aft ? I used to sail when i was very young and had use of a zodiac with an inflatable keel that was powered by a suzuki 5.5 hp outboard , my friend and i could get this on the plane by the helm sitting as forward as possible and the passenger getting right up on the prow , a couple of bounces on the prow and she would jump out and up onto the water and bloody fly , we could catch waterskiers and go under their lines .

I have followed the exploits of these sailors for years but had never thought of the boats skipping over torpedo nets! You can see that type of roof structure at Yandles in Martock Somerset.

Fascinating naval construction details.

Fantastic. Many thanks for the time and effort to produce the video to share the story.

Fascinating stuff…! ⚓️👌🏼😊

😊👍 just great

Wonderful - thank you!

Fantastic series! Must watch for anyone looking for a holistic view. No one does it better on UA-cam especially for the period after WWII.

This is exactly the kind of content I was looking for when I searched "development of naval technology in the cold war". Fantastic watch!

Amazing video. I've read Agar's books 'Baltic Episode' and 'Footprints In The Sea'. I had often wondered why no one had built a replica of CMB4. It's a historically significant boat. It didn't just sink the Oleg and participate in the Kronstadt raid (I think?) it had also participated in an action off Belgium during the war I believe, and after the Kronstadt raid it helped lay a mine field that sunk a Russian destroyer (that, unfortunately, had been trying to defect, if I recall). At least, that's what I recall from Agar's books. Have you come across any photographs of any 40 foot CMB with its Lewis Guns mounted? I've always heard that during action CMB4 and the other 40 footers mounted multiple Lewis guns. On the cover of Agar's book Baltic Episode CMB4 is shown with a dual Lewis mount. However, I have never seen a photograph or technical drawing of exactly where/how the machine guns were mounted. Do you plan to build the raised wind screen that all the wartime 40' CMBs seemed to have? Do you plan on fitting her out as if it was ready for a sortie, with the wind screen, machine guns (fakes, obviously), the whole deal? I think those details would make it look like a right proper wartime vessel and make it more exciting for the public. Did the 40 footers ever have those side mounted depth charge racks I recall the larger CMBs having?

Actually, many builders use a similar building-board to build their models the right side up, instead of upside down. Especially in Europe, where Hahn is not that well known, dockyard style models are built that way. Michele Padoan‘s models are a very good example of how this is done. Also, building a model just the way it was done back in the day, is entirely possible. Just look at the work of Ab Hoving, who builds 17th century Dutch vessels using the plank-first method the Dutch used then. What I personaly dislike about Hahn is that in his own plans, he used generic frames instead of the historical ones. When you go to the length of building a plank on frame model, why not go the whole nine yards and do it correctly. His upside-down method certainly has its merits, though.
