  • Hey! Welcome back to the back of the Enterprise!!! This is why I purchased the Pontos detail set. Because it has a lot of large pieces of PE. Looks fancy and complicated, but is, so far, easy to assemble and looks great.

    Geez all the photo etch. I guess now days you wanna be more accurate... you go with it. I wish they had this back in the early 70's when I started building models. Can you imagine were we would be now if that was true. LOL thanks for posting these makes building more fun. You know I'm not that far from you all. I live close to Manhattan KS.

    The G3 „Big Room on the fantail“ structure was a test stand for aircraft motors, so they could be run outside the main hangar environment in a well ventilated area (and help keeping noise levels in the busy hangar down, I guess)

    I swear some companies have little to no QC when it comes to the instructions in aftermarket sets. I always study the completed pictures before I even look at removing anything. I have run into that problem before 19:57..

    Great work. I have the 1:350 Enterprise with Pontos PE set and from what i see in this stream the stern section looks almost identical to the 1350 PE set.

    • @TheMidwestModelShop
      @TheMidwestModelShop  Рік тому +2

      I bet they are. I wouldn’t doubt that they just scaled everything “up” for the larger kit. Which is great! Because you’ll have phenomenal detail in 1/350 scale.

    Nice build of a complicated area. One not at all helped by Pontos' anti-proof-read instructions.
    Typically, a large (e.g. 40') personnel boat carried both sides, one for the captain, the other for any embarked Admirals. (Boat for Captain is a "gig"; for Admiral is a "barge" by long-standing Naval Custom). Most other boats are left ashore as having flammable wooden boats near aviation fuel doe not make for ideal Damage Control situations. (Heaving a bunch of kapok & balsa rafts over the side when on fire not near as emotional as a cared-for Ship's boat, too)

    That is just cool. The long pondering about the deck and bulkhead was interesting, and detailed, and well thought out. I think. It went together well but its sad that you can't see the "front" of the little house. It looked VERY interesting. What's supposed to be inside the grills? Not that you can see much, but that would have been interesting if there had been something inside and it was lit. Who knows. Beautiful work. This will be up there with your Missouri. Onward.

      Thanks Perry!!! I always appreciate your thoughts and comments. So I have a couple sets of blue prints for the York Town class carriers and I should probably look at them… but a gentleman commented that would have been an engine test bay, if you will, during the war. I can see needing to do static runs. So this makes sense to get that racket and work away from everything else in the main hanger.

    Pontos could have done a better job on the instructions. There are several mislabeled parts you will encounter later. Your doing a great job, wished I had waited longer to build mine. You have some great ideas I would have liked to have done on mine.

    Im finding that a number of trumpeter models are not of very high quality for the price. You end up having to make adjustments to the parts in order to get a decent fit.

      Actually Ben is being kind and cutting Trumpeter a ton of slack. He's doing a great job identifying and working though multiple significant issues that, if not addressed early, will cascade into major problems down the road. His comments, as well as those presented by Kenneth (Norwegian Modeler) give the average modeler a fighting chance to build a model that they can be proud of. Rather than bitch why don't you buy the kits (Trumpeter, plus Pontos and KA/MK brass) yourself and you'll see EXACTLY what I mean.

      You know if you don't like this then unsubscribe from him and watch other builders that don't talk much or at all and I know for a fact there's a lot of them and no I don't watch them because personally I don't learn anything and have unanswered questions or need the help and guidance from more knowledgeable builders and those are boring to watch that don't say anything and i know most builder that follow Ben and others like him love it
