      They are, and when you can build models of them as well as this guy, you can really show them in their full elegant glory.

  • @wesleywillick4222
    @wesleywillick4222 7 років тому +6

    Very nice. Almost no build videos of ships, much less 1/350 scale, exist, so this video is greatly appreciated, especially for the deck/weathering tips.
    Two complaints however:
    1) The number 4 turret barbette (ring) looked like it was still the brown of the deck, and wasn't painted the same grey as the rest of the superstructure.
    2) No weathering of the lower hull. Not just here, but many model ships have weathering done to the upper parts, but next to zero done on the underside. I like to mottle my hulls brown and green first, then follow with a thin coat of the hull red. In the case of Italian ships, just brown mottling in two shades would work, followed by the green.
    All in all, very nice build. I appreciate the use of the Zara kit as, like you mentioned, there were photoetch railings included. Trumpeter kits are pretty good imo for not requiring aftermarket upgrade sets. Tamiya is decent for that as well, but many of the other ship brands (Hasegawa, Fujimi, Aoshima...) require aftermarket sets for railings and such.
    I would love to see someone build a 1/350 kit with a Pontos upgrade set. Those are insane.

    Hi Andy,Thanks for your video's Andy. I've been modelling for a long time but my skills have improved dramatically thanks to your techniques. I'm trying photo etch for the first time after this!

  • @ChrisK-LTC
    @ChrisK-LTC 7 років тому +11

    Get yourself a Tamiya Diamond File for the photo etch work. They work great, and won't tear up your sanding sponge.

    • @jdavid1027
      @jdavid1027 7 років тому

      Absolutely! Spot on, Leona! Much easier than a sanding stick especially when doing really thin railing of smaller scales.

    Good Job Andy! I'm happy to see you do something other than AFV's. I'm just now getting comfortable working with photo-etch, and I have a ship model thatI purchased quite a while ago. Maybe now I'll build it. Hope you continue to diversify and challenge/educate your subscribers with other ships, planes, et al.

    Very nice job ... i can not wait now to get my hands on HMS Belfast finally, same size and brand as this Zara. Looks quite large actually, the paint job of wooden deck and those litle rusty marks here and there gave the model a pinch of spirit. Very inspiring and informative for me. Thank you

  • @airplanenut89
    @airplanenut89 7 років тому

    Found your channel a few months ago and it helped me put together a Tiger I model that I wanted to do for World of Tanks. Glad to see a ship finally because I have had my eyes set on the Tamiya premium Yamato 1/350 kit but I couldn't find another youtuber who does vids in the style you do.

  • @jdavid1027
    @jdavid1027 7 років тому +1

    Andy! Great Job on the ship! Wondered if I would ever see my favorite youtube modeler do a demo of my first love, ship modeling. I spent 2 years building a 350 scale Gunze Lusitania in her black war "camo" paint job as she left NY on her way to being sunk off Ireland. Used every imaginable piece of PE, 200+ highly detailed window decals for every window on the ship, grab ropes and PE for 30+ lifeboats, all the PE railing and funnel ladders, all the rigging that I could see from a copy of the ships rigging plans I got a copy of from a friend (20 feet long by about 4 feet wide)... and scratch built several parts and collapsible life boats that were not designed into the kit that I found on the rigging plans. I researched the heck out of it and put every detail I could find and/or scratch build on it. It turned out fabulous and won an IPMS regional trophy for best commercial ship model. However, sadly it burned my butt out on ship building for a while. Still have another Luci about 2/3rds completed sitting in "dry dock" in my 'workshop' waiting to be completed and I've completed several 700 and various scale scale ocean liners as well as 1200, 700, 400 and 350 scale versions of the Titanic. I'm done with the Titanic and glad that phase is over...LOL I have several battleships and war ships in my stash with all the available for some of them waiting for me to finish my tank phase. My first ship to start back is going to be the 350 Tamiya Bismarck with all available PE and RB gun barrels for the main turrets. That all said...I'm so pleased you did a ship finally and surprised how good your construction and paint jobs were and how quickly you did it. You handled the PE with ease, unlike myself who struggles with the stuff and your detailing work on the wood was great. I'll be using that technique with lighter shaded panel liners to simulate teak wood decks on the Bismarck. You are one outstanding, very talented modeler, Andy. Would really enjoy watching you work on an ocean liner and see how you handle all the detail, which as you know is a lot more than warships. Thanks again for a magnificent build. You are inspiring me and making modeling fun again for me. Cheers from Michigan!

    This looks like a good kit, my biggest issue about 1/350 ships is finding/funding photo etch railings, and other finer details. So i tend to steer clear, but maybe i night have to look into a kit like this.
    As always a brilliant video Andy, keep up the good work!
