Beautiful! Only comment I may have is about little less people on board:)

Fantastic build with amazing attention to detail. I wish I had half as much skill as you. Many thanks for sharing.

As below, only stopped by as it reminded me of my grandfathers time on a Liberty ship ... he was a radio operator / officer employed by Marconi, who I guess supplied the kit and the trained people to the merchant fleet. He did tell a couple of stories, but like many wanted to leave it behind. He was most often on the North Atlantic run, dodging wolf packs ! And yes his convoys were attacked. His son / my father built a 10m steel sailing boat, stick welded, I have gone on to weld in my work.The fabrication of Liberty ships (there were some issues - pressure of wartime - 19 broke in half ! ) was impressive, 2.7k ships, 47 days to build one !

My father was a US Navy Armed Guard gunner aboard SS Kenyon Victory at wars end, anchored at Buckner Bay Okinawa. I'd like to build a model of her some day that is maybe half the quality of what you've accomplished here.

FAR too much damn BRASS!!!

Outstanding.

Respect!

My father was on this ship. I have his jacket and a WWII vintage model he got for two cartons of cigarettes in Italy. I would love to build this!

Ich bin Begeistert ! Weiter so !

A 24:10, I...I don't know how you do that, but it gives me high pressure just by watching 😁 Great job

Magnificent

Touché! Liberty ships were all welded not riveted, which is why they were able to be built so fast. Rivets take......time....I think you can do it over to correct this mistake. 😄

01:28 -- Double sided tape (sticky on both sides) would be ideal here as it would lay flat and ensure that the parts dry straight and true.

Built the same model for my dad. He was a gunner assigned the port foward 20mm. Took me almost 6 months. He teared up when I presented it to him. Would love to post photos some time.

Lovely model - perhaps, might benefit from some crew figures?

I have the same kit in my stash! Your Model turned out wonderful! I really love the enhancing of the hull textures!

woww,epic work !

My heartfelt congrats on a wonderful build! My Dad was an officer on the USS Provo Victory in WW2 in the Pacific. The Victory ships were an invaluable part of the supply chain that enabled our Navy's Victory. Your model helps remind us of the remarkable effort to build all those ships in a short period of time leading to our Victory in the Pacific theater.

looks great, my I ask which paints espectively colors, USN grey shades, you used for the upper hull, ships deck and the superstructures? TIA

Your patience & ability to work with minut details is quite good

My father was a Pharmacists Mate on Liberties in 1942 -- I believe, that is, he never talked about it and what I learned came from shipmates who visited our home in the 1960s through about 1990 when they stopped coming by. The Jeremiah O'Brien visited Seattle about 1996 (trying to remember) and I bought tickets for the two of us to tour, but although his hand reached for the gangplank railing to board, his hand shook -- his fingers wouldn't close -- and after apologizing, he turned around and we went home. I overheard him telling friends that he had made Ordinary after the first voyage, and Able after the second. In Portsmouth he bought for $40 USD a Colt Police Positive Revolver (5.5" barrel, I believe) in .38 Special because as the keeper of drugs, he was authorized to carry. (The Pharmacists Mate and Captain were the only two so authorized.) -- He had one quirk and that was he accumulated dozens, maybe hundreds, of Mogen David Wine bottles which he filled with water and hid everywhere: attic, basement, every car, because "you'll never know how badly you may need water when you don't have any." Ten years after he passed, my mother asked me to check the attic for roof leaks and I found two more bottle filled with water hidden until the rock wool insulation. (He was a non-drinker: during the war, he bought empties for 10 cents each.) The Mogen David Wine bottles' tall, straight necks with metal screw caps could be died together, maybe a dozen total with two bundles of 6 each joined by a 3' cord which you could grab and wear yoke-like if you had to abandon ship. He said everyone slept in their survival suits with the water bottles next to their rack. He couldn't stand the smell of new rubber, like galoshes or a rain coat. When he was 70, I found a copy of the 1942 edition of Survival at Sea, the text his friends had studied at Sheepshead Bay at the Merchant Marine Academy and wrapped it for a birthday present: he looked down at the package and started to unwrap it -- until he saw the book cover and his head snapped up, his eyes at the ceiling, and he set the book half-unwrapped on the floor by his chair. He said, "Thank you, Mark ... maybe later ..." A couple of years after that I found it under the couch next to his chair, it had been pushed exactly as he left it, half unwrapped and otherwise untouched and just out of sight. (I deeply regretted that misjudgment.) In his 50s, a friend of his convinced him to "try" a beer, which he sipped just a little, set down, and later told me, "Alcohol is just not for me. Better to never get started. I'm afraid I know where I'd end up." -- He was an extrovert, sometimes garrulous in the extreme. A male model (I have clippings from LIFE magazine), a Charles Atlas-style body builder, a stage hypnotist as a hobby. He retired as a Boeing 747 airline Captain. -- I never felt that I knew him. He was mostly quiet, pensive, and distant when out of public sight. I think that his post-War life's course was set by the Battle of the Atlantic and his participation in it as target. On Liberties. If his friends can be believed, also on Victories and a T2 tanker.

This is an awesome build! I especially like the details you did to the hull, adding rivets etc. Great touch adding the small but much needed details such as the monkey lines for the life boats. The PE also adds great detail that brings these kits to life. Well done, indeed!

Nicely done. So many tiny parts and details to put on the ship... Great job.

I'm gonna try to build this so I can donate it to the actual ss Jeremiah O'Brien

Amazing work. What were you using to apply the glue at 1:24?

While living in Seattle, The USS Abraham Lincoln made Everett Wa, it's home base. The day the carrier came to port hundreds of vessels turned out to bring in the Lincoln. One of them was the SS Jerimah O'Brien My now past, Father-in-law Capt John Trimmer (Ret) got my wife and I passes to be on the O'Brien. It was a once in a lifetime event. I was all over that boat, having worked the Crabbing fleet shipyards. I bought 2 coffee mugs and still use them today. What a fantastic day to be on and involved is such a amazing piece of history.

Absolute Spitzenklasse Allerhöchsten Respekt Perfekt und fotorealistisch

Supernatural skills!!

Очень круто!

Magnifique !

The music is so horrible and unfitting, but so is any war.

A work of art!!

*_The dry dock blocks complete the diorama for a nice model ..._*

I have that kit, the airfix E boot, the revell Bismarck, the old arizona kit, the Doolittle raid carrier w b25s, the Indianapolis, and a giant scale fletcher destroyer.... My buddys neighbor passed away, his brother was cleaning out the apartment and didnt want any of the model kits.... I have 2 closets FULL of premium brand and old kits , every brand.... Ships, planes, tanks, trucks, artillery, cars, etc etc

I used to love building various plastic model kits. Since I was a kid many many years ago there were a beloved past time for me. I would read up on the subject material the kit was representing, I would try different techniques for detailing, and immerse myself. Now, with the disease I have, I cannot take pleasure in it any more. I have been reduced to just existing, for the most part. My interests have all vanished. And my life has devolved into daily fights to just existing. I wished I could take pleasure in this again.

what is that needle kind thing you put ca glue on the model?

Добрый день, отличная работа, такой же лежит в закромах, но ни как не могу найти на него фототравления, вы какое использовали ? И где его можно найти, заранее спасибо

Peace of art 👌

Really cool. 🚢

I’m an engineer on the Jeremiah Obrien! Love your work! The weathering is absolutely fabulous

I heard that during the filming of Titanic, they used the Engine Room’s Triple Expansion Engines to represent the Titanic’s MASSIVE Engines that she had.

magnifique chapeau pour cette énorme travail et un résultat splendide

I just have to say I have such admiration for you to deal with all those super fiddly bits! I watched this video and thought I could do ONE of those parts like the mast or a single gun but I would never be able to do all that together to make what you created! A true work of art and craftsmanship! Hats off to you!

Superb job.

Very nice!

the dislikers must be imperial japanese navy supporters

Wonderful build. Great attention to detail. Congratulations!

Excellent work. What attention to detail! I'm impressed, thank you.

Planming to build it for years now, i was always afraid of not being able to do it perfectly. But after seeing your absolutly marvelous model i admire your work and will soon give it a go myself. Thank you Sir!

Fantástico. Enhorabuena por tan magnífico trabajo
